-Aiming for full spec compatibility with the Python version 0.9.2. 
+A high-performance Go implementation of the [Reticulum Network Stack](https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum)
 
-# Testing
+## Project Goals:
 
-```
-make install
-make build
-make run
-```
+- **Full Protocol Compatibility**: Maintain complete interoperability with the Python reference implementation
+- **Cross-Platform Support**: Support for legacy and modern platforms across multiple architectures
+- **Performance**: Leverage Go's concurrency model and runtime for improved throughput and latency
+- **More Privacy and Security**: Additional privacy and security features beyond the base specification
 
-## Linter
+## Prerequisites
 
-[Revive](https://github.com/mgechev/revive)
+- Go 1.24 or later
+- [Task](https://taskfile.dev/) for build automation
+
+Note: You may need to set `alias task='go-task'` in your shell configuration to use `task` instead of `go-task`.
+
+### Nix

 ```bash
-revive -config revive.toml -formatter friendly ./pkg/* ./cmd/* ./internal/*
+nix develop
 ```
