README for alpha version
-# REMME Core
+# REMME Core 0.1.0-alpha
+
+**This is alpha version! It is not suitable for any use in production and is intended to demonstrate capabilities of Hyperledger Sawtooth in the scope of REMME.**
+
+## How to run
+
+You will need Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine.
+
+When you have this repository cloned run the following commands:
+
+* `make build_docker`
+* `make run`
+
+After all the package are started up run `docker exec -it $(docker-compose ps -q shell) bash` to enter the console.
+
+You can try `rem-token` and `rem-crt` commands to run operations related to token and certificates respectively.
+
+## To be done in the next releases
+
+* Automated testing (needed to initialize MockValidator with the genesis batch). It is possible, that MockValidator will be replaced with real validator until genesis batches are implemented in MockValidator.
+* Massive refactoring related to payments for the process of registration of new certificates.
+* First deploy of test network based on PoET consensus.
+* Research on implementation of a custom consensus in Sawtooth.
+* Architecture of the process of token migration between REMME (test network) and Ethereum networks (Kovan testnet).
