-## About Keyoxide
+## Contributing
 
-[Keyoxide](https://keyoxide.org/), made by Yarmo Mackenbach, is a modern, secure
-and privacy-friendly platform to establish decentralized online identities using
-a novel concept know as [DOIP](doip.md). In an effort to make this technology
-accessible for other projects and stimulate the emergence of both complementary
-and competing projects, this project-agnostic library is
-[published on codeberg.org](https://codeberg.org/keyoxide/doipjs) and open
-sourced under the
-[Apache-2.0](https://codeberg.org/keyoxide/doipjs/src/branch/main/LICENSE)
-license.
