 In order for the application to use Connect properly, the following is required:
 
 - Set the consensus parameters to enable vote extensions
 - Initialize `x/marketmap` with initial markets
 
-The following code can be executed within an upgrade handler for chains that are already live or in `InitChainer` for new chains:

-With the Connect sidecar running, the application can now be started and will begin receiving price data at the configured `VoteExtensionsEnableHeight`.
+For new chains, or to test the integration, the method above can be called in `InitChainer`. Connect will begin posting prices to the chain once the `VoteExtensionsEnabledHeight` is reached.
