 We usually refer to both the code and to the instantiation as a client. The best way to grok this, is to see a client
 as both the ERC20 code implementation, and an actual ERC20 coin. There can be many clients on a chain, and new clients can be trustlessly instantiated after the code has been uploaded.
 
+### Why are IBC Clients compared to ERC20?
+
+Because, like an ERC20 contract, the client code is uploaded to the chain once, and then many different instantiations (instances) can be created. Each one follows a different counterpart chain. This provides a very powerful structure in terms of modularity and trustless deployment.
+
+**1.The Difference Between Code and Instance**
+- In ERC20:
+The code for an ERC20 token (for example, a "Token.sol" contract) is deployed onto the chain once. This code defines the token logic: transfer, balance, allowance, etc.
+However, many different tokens can be created from this code—each with a different name, symbol, and supply.
+
+- In IBC Client:
+The code for a client module is loaded onto the chain. This code defines the verification logic: header checking, proof validation, misbehavior detection, etc.
+Many different client instances can be created from this code—each following a different counterpart chain.
+
+**2.State Tracking**
+- ERC20: Each token contract maintains its own user balances and permissions.
+- IBC Client: Each client instance maintains the last verified block height of the counterpart chain, its consensus status, and other parameters.
+
+**3.Modularity and Trustless Deployment**
+- ERC20 contracts can be deployed permissionlessly. Anyone can create their own token.
+- Similarly, with IBC clients, once the code is deployed, anyone can start a new client instance—for example, to monitor a new chain.

 ### State Tracking
 
 Clients must maintain a view of their counterparty chain's state. This typically includes:

 Just as each ERC20 instance can be frozen independently, each client instance handles misbehavior for its specific counterparty chain relationship.
 
+When misbehavior is detected, the client can automatically "freeze" itself. This stops cross-chain communication and maintains security, much like a security system sounds an alarm and locks the doors.

 ## Implementations
 
 Clients are the most complex portion of how IBC works. Implementations depend on deep cryptographic and algorithmic knowledge of consensus verification. Later we will describe how to implement one, but for now it is better to understand the protocol in full.
