+This paper will outline, for the first time, exactly how the "ITM Attack"
 works against Zcash Protocol and how Hush is the first cryptocoin with a defensive
 mitigation against it, called "Sietch". Sietch is already running live in production
 and undergoing it's first improvement from a round a feedback. This is not an academic
 paper about pipedreams, it will describe production code and networks.
 
+Beginning with a literature review of all known metadata attack methods that can be
+used against Zcash Protocol blockchains. This includes their estimated attack costs
+and threat model. This paper then describes the "ITM Attack" which is a specific instance
+of a new class of metadata attacks against blockchains which the author describes
+as "Metaverse Metadata" attacks.
+
+A few other new privacy issues and metadata attacks against Zcash Protocol coins
+will be enumerated for the first time publicly in this treatise.
+
+The paper then explains Sietch in detail, which was a response to these new attacks.
+We hope this knew knowledge and theory helps cryptocoins increase their defenses
+against very well-funded adversaries including nation states and chain analysis
+companies.
