+# Discreetly
+## About Discreetly
+Discreetly is an anonymous and federated chat application.
+
+Under the hood it uses a zero-knowledge protocol called RLN (Rate-Limiting Nullifier) to rate limit messages per user.
+
+Read more about [RLN](https://rate-limiting-nullifier.github.io/rln-docs/).
+
+## Features 
+
+* Truly anonymous
+  * It uses RLN to prove you are a member of a room, but not who you are.
+  * If you don't trust the server, run your own
+* Federated
+  * Run your own server, and use the same frontend as everyone else, or run your own frontend too.
+* Spammers are banned
+  * If someone tries to send messages faster than the rate limit allowed, they are automatically banned, and there is no unban.
