 ## Go Relay Archetecture for Implementing Nostr
 
-GRAIN is an open-source Nostr relay implementation written in Go. This project aims to provide a robust and efficient Nostr relay that currently supports the NIP-01 of the nostr protocol.
+GRAIN is an open-source Nostr relay implementation written in Go. This project aims to provide an efficient and configurable Nostr relay.
 
 ## Features
 
-- **NIP-01 Protocol Support**: GRAIN (nearly)fully supports NIP-01 for WebSocket communication.
+- **Dynamic Event Handling**: Capable of processing a wide range of events, categorized by type and kind, including support for event deletion as per NIP-09.
-- **Event Processing**: Handles all events by category and kind.
+- **Configurable and Extensible**: Easily customizable through configuration files, with plans for future GUI-based configuration management to streamline server adjustments.
-- **MongoDB 🍃**: Utilizes MongoDB to store and manage events efficiently.
+- **Efficient Rate Limiting**: Implements sophisticated rate limiting strategies to manage WebSocket messages, - events, and requests, ensuring fair resource allocation and protection against abuse.
-- **Scalability**: Built with Go, ensuring high performance and scalability.
+- **Flexible Event Size Management**: Configurable size limits for events, with optional constraints based on - event kind, to maintain performance and prevent oversized data handling.
+- **MongoDB Integration 🍃**: Utilizes MongoDB for high-performance storage and management of events, ensuring data integrity and efficient query capabilities.
+- **Scalable Architecture**: Built with Go, leveraging its concurrency model to provide high throughput and scalability, suitable for handling large volumes of data and connections.
+- **Relay Metadata Support (NIP-11)**: Provides relay metadata in compliance with NIP-11, allowing clients to retrieve server capabilities and administrative contact information.
+- **User-Friendly Front-End**: Includes a web interface that displays recent events and supports potential future enhancements like configuration management.
 - **Open Source**: Licensed under the MIT License, making it free to use and modify.
 
+## Prerequisites
+
+### MongoDB Server 🍃
+
+GRAIN 🌾 leverages MongoDB for efficient storage and management of events. MongoDB, known for its high performance and scalability, is an ideal choice for handling large volumes of real-time data. GRAIN 🌾 uses MongoDB collections to store events categorized by kind and ensures quick retrieval and manipulation of these events through its robust querying capabilities.
+
+You can get the free Community Server edition of MongoDB from the official MongoDB website:
+[MongoDB Community Server](https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community)  
+MongoDB provides extensive documentation and support to help you get started with installation and configuration, ensuring a smooth integration with GRAIN.
+
 ## Configuration
 
 Grain will automatically create the configurations and relay metadata files necessary if they do not already exist when you first run the program.
 
-They are created in the root directory of Grain. Feel free to change any coinfigurations you want in these files.
+They are created in the root directory of Grain. You can change configurations and relay_metadata here. The relay must be restarted for new configurations to take effect.
 
-### TODO
+## Development
-
-- configurable event purging
-  - by category
-  - by kind
-  - by time since latest
-- create whitelist/blacklist functionality
-  for:
-  - valid nip05 domain
-  - pubkey
-  - npub
-  - kind int
-  - kind 1 wordlist
