Cosmos SDK
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-The Cosmos-SDK is a framework for building blockchain applications in Golang.
-It is being used to build [`Gaia`](https://github.com/cosmos/gaia), the first implementation of the Cosmos Hub.
-
-**WARNING**: The SDK has mostly stabilized, but we are still making some
-breaking changes.
-
-**Note**: Requires [Go 1.15+](https://golang.org/dl/)
-
-## Quick Start
-
-To learn how the SDK works from a high-level perspective, go to the [SDK Intro](./docs/intro/overview.md).
-
-If you want to get started quickly and learn how to build on top of the SDK, please follow the [SDK Application Tutorial](https://tutorials.cosmos.network/nameservice/tutorial/00-intro.html). You can also fork the tutorial's repository to get started building your own Cosmos SDK application.
-
-For more, please go to the [Cosmos SDK Docs](./docs/).
-
-## Cosmos Hub Mainnet
-
-The Cosmos Hub application, `gaia`, has moved to its [own repository](https://github.com/cosmos/gaia). Go there to join the Cosmos Hub mainnet and more.
-
-## Interblockchain Communication (IBC)
-
-The IBC module for the SDK has moved to its [own repository](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go). Go there to build and integrate with the IBC module.
-
-## Starport
-
-If you are starting a new app or a new module you can use [Starport](https://github.com/tendermint/starport) to help you get started and speed up development. If you have any questions or find a bug, feel free to open an issue in the repo.

Cosmos SDK
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+The Cosmos SDK is a framework for building blockchain applications. [Tendermint Core (BFT Consensus)](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint) and the Cosmos SDK are written in the Golang programming language. Cosmos SDK is used to build [Gaia](https://github.com/cosmos/gaia), the first implementation of the Cosmos Hub.
+
+**WARNING**: The Cosmos SDK has mostly stabilized, but we are still making some
+breaking changes.
+
+**Note**: Requires [Go 1.17+](https://golang.org/dl/)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+To learn how the Cosmos SDK works from a high-level perspective, see the Cosmos SDK [High-Level Intro](./docs/intro/overview.md).
+
+If you want to get started quickly and learn how to build on top of Cosmos SDK, visit [Cosmos SDK Tutorials](https://tutorials.cosmos.network). You can also fork the tutorial's repository to get started building your own Cosmos SDK application.
+
+For more information, see the [Cosmos SDK Documentation](./docs/).
+
+## Contributing
+
+See [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for details how to contribute and participate in our [dev calls](./CONTRIBUTING.md#teams-dev-calls).

+
+## Tools and Frameworks
+
+The Cosmos ecosystem is vast. We will only make a few notable mentions here.
+
++ [Tools](https://v1.cosmos.network/tools): notable frameworks and modules.
++ [CosmJS](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmjs): the Swiss Army knife to power JavaScript based client solutions.
+
+### Cosmos Hub Mainnet
+
+The Cosmos Hub application, `gaia`, has moved to its own [cosmos/gaia repository](https://github.com/cosmos/gaia). Go there to join the Cosmos Hub mainnet and more.
+
+### Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC)
+
+The IBC module for the Cosmos SDK has moved to its own [cosmos/ibc-go repository](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go). Go there to build and integrate with the IBC module.
+
+### Ignite CLI
+
+Ignite CLI is the all-in-one platform to build, launch, and maintain any crypto application on a sovereign and secured blockchain. If you are building a new app or a new module, use [Ignite CLI](https://github.com/ignite-hq/cli) to get started and speed up development.
