-## Installing
+Reference implementation of Kava, a blockchain for cross-chain DeFi. Built using the [comsos-sdk](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk).
 
-This guide assumes you have worked with `cosmos-sdk` blockchains previously. If you are just getting started, great! See the complete guide [here](https://medium.com/kava-labs).
+## Quick Start
 
-#### Installing KVD
-
-```
-git clone https://github.com/Kava-Labs/kava.git
-cd kava
-# Ensure GO Modules are enabled
-export GO111MODULE=on
+```sh
 make install
 ```
 
-#### Create a Wallet
-
-```
-kvd init --chain-id=kava-testnet-2000 <your-moniker>
-kvcli keys add <your_wallet_name>
-```
-
-**Be sure to back up your mnemonic!**
-
-#### Create a Genesis Transaction
-
-```
-kvd add-genesis-account $(kvcli keys show <your_wallet_name> -a) 1000000000000ukava
-kvd gentx --name <your_wallet_name> --amount 1000000000000ukava --ip <your-public-ip>
-```
-
-A genesis transaction should be written to `$HOME/.kvd/config/gentx/gentx-<gen_tx_hash>.json`
-
-#### Submit Genesis Transaction
-
-To be included in the genesis file for testnet two, fork the [testnets repo](https://github.com/Kava-Labs/kava-testnets) and copy your genesis transaction to the `2000` directory. Submit your fork including your genesis transaction as a PR.
