-This is a local daemon which can be attached to with any IRC frontend.
-It uses the darkfi p2p engine to synchronize chats between hosts.
+In DarkFi, we organise our communication using resilient and
+censorship-resistant infrastructure. For chatting, `ircd` is a
+peer-to-peer implementation of an IRC server in which any user can
+participate anonymously using any IRC frontend and by running the
+IRC daemon. `ircd` uses the DarkFi P2P engine to synchronize chats
+between hosts.
