-## Overview
-
-Reclaim your digital life with Bitkit. 
-
-Bitkit offers on-chain and lightning transactions, as well as user-controlled social profiles and contacts; easy payments to contacts; key-based log-ins; and data streaming from private and public feeds into widgets. All these latter features have been built using [Slashtags](https://slashtags.to/).  
-
-Synonym's mission is for users to have control over their own data and operate in a Web that is censorship-resistant, private, and free from walled gardens. Bitkit is Synonym’s crack at harmonizing such digital autonomy with a great user experience.
-
-Bitkit is a mobile application available on Android and iOS, and implemented using React-Native.
-
-## The problem
-
-Society, the economy, and the Web suffer from oppressive central controls, resulting in censorship, privacy breaches, and monopoly behaviors. Users need P2P tools that set them free.
-
-## Bitkit's solution
-
-Bitkit offers a Bitcoin wallet that supports both on-chain and lightning transactions. The application runs a custom, non-routing Lightning node created with the [Lightning Development Kit](https://github.com/lightningdevkit) on the user's mobile phone. By default you connect to Synonym's Electrum-Bitcoin Core server, but you can also connect to your own server. We on-board users to Lightning through our lightning service provider (LSP) [Blocktank](https://github.com/synonymdev/blocktank-client). In the future, we will also enable connections to other LSPs and peers on the network. 
-
-Users can back up their Bitcoin and Lightning keys with a standard BIP-39 seed and optional password. Lightning channel data is automatically replicated on our a backup server. The data is encrypted on the client-side before it is sent to our server to ensure privacy. You can view our code [here](https://github.com/synonymdev/bitkit-backup-client).
-
-The other main features Bitkit supports are as follows: 
-
-* 📱 Social profiles and contacts
-* 💸 Easy payments to profiles
-* 🔑 Key-based account logins
-* 📊 Streaming of private and public data feeds into widgets
-
-All these additional features are powered by Slashtags: a collection of software modules and specifications that complements the Bitcoin and Lightning stacks in the building of peer-to-peer applications, specifically to enable decentralized identities and web-of-trust reputation systems. You can view our JavaScript-based software development kit which has been used for the Bitkit wallet [here](https://github.com/synonymdev/slashtags).
-
-You can experiment with Bitkit's Slashtags features in our [playground](https://slashtags.to/#playground). We currently support four public data widgets: 
-
-* 📈 [Bitcoin Price Feed](https://github.com/synonymdev/slashtags-widget-price-feed) - [📲 Add to your phone](https://slashtags.to/playground/price)
-* 📰 [Bitcoin News Feed](https://github.com/synonymdev/slashtags-widget-news-feed) - [📲 Add to your phone](https://slashtags.to/playground/headlines)
-* 📊 [Bitcoin Block Feed](https://github.com/synonymdev/slashtags-widget-bitcoin-feed) - [📲 Add to your phone](https://slashtags.to/playground/blocks)
-* 📚 [Bitcoin Facts Feed](https://github.com/synonymdev/slashtags-widget-facts-feed) - [📲 Add to your phone](https://slashtags.to/playground/facts)
-
-Slashtags user data is automatically replicated via our [seeding server](https://github.com/synonymdev/slashtag-seeding-server). In this way, user data is always available. In addition, it allows the user to restore all their Slashtags data from just their BIP-39 seed and optional password.
