+# exocore
 
-Exocore is a scalable, high-throughput Proof-of-Stake blockchain
-that is fully compatible and interoperable with Ethereum.
-It's built using the [Cosmos SDK](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/)
-which runs on top of the [Tendermint Core](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint) consensus engine.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-To learn how Exocore works from a high-level perspective.

+Exocore is an omnichain restaking protocol that combines the crypto-economic security from multiple blockchain networks and tokens, and extends it to any off-chain system. The protocol is designed with a modular architecture, incorporating Tendermint-based Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus mechanism, Zero-Knowledge (ZK) light-client bridging, and a fully EVM-compatible execution environment. This design enables smooth interactions for restakers and seamless integration for developers. Additionally, we introduce novel concepts, such as Union Restaking, where off-chain services can form a union to extend the crypto-economic security of their own tokens to each other. By pooling crypto-economic security and extending it to off-chain systems, Exocore powers an open market for decentralized trust.

+
+## Creating docker images
+1. Once the dependencies are installed, execute
+`make localnet-init`, this will generate the cluster configuration file.
+2. Run the following command to create the docker image:
+    ```bash
+    make localnet-build
+    # Check if images build done
+    docker images
+    ```
+3. Launch the chain node:
+    ```bash
+    make localnet-start
+    # Check if containers are all up
+    docker ps
+    ```
+## Interacting with a local node
+With a node running, the exocored binary can be used to interact with the node. Run `./bin/exocored <command> --help` to get information about the available commands.
