 # Offset Helper
 
-This contract has the purpose to simplify the carbon offsetting process.
+This contract simplifies the carbon offsetting process on Toucan.
 
-What it does in more exact terms is it abstracts the process of retiring TCO2, which normally looks like so:
+More specifically, the Offset Helper abstracts the process of using a stablecoin to acquire and retire TCO2. This process normally looks like:
 
-- user exchanges USDC for BCT/NCT tokens at one of the DEXs (Uniswap, Sushiswap, etc. depending on network)
-- user interacts with the BCT/NCT token contract to redeem the tokens for TCO2
+- user exchanges USDC (a stablecoin) for carbon reference tokens like BCT or NCT using a DEX like Uniswap, Sushiswap, etc. (depending on network)
+- user interacts with the BCT/NCT pool token contract to redeem TCO2 tokens from within the pool
 - user interacts with the TCO2 token contract to retire the TCO2
 
+You can see this process explained in more depth in our [docs](https://docs.toucan.earth/toucan/introduction/overview). 
+
 With the OffsetHelper contract, the user only needs to interact with the OffsetHelper contract, which will take care of the rest in a single transaction.
