+# Monzero reproducible-build signatures
+
+This repository stores signed Gitian build assertions for Monzero releases.
+It must not contain release binaries, wallet files, recovery seeds, private
+keys, or unsigned claims presented as release verification.
+
+## Layout
+
+- `gitian-pubkeys/`: reviewed public keys belonging to independent builders.
+- `<release>-<platform>/<builder>/`: assertions produced by Gitian `gsign`.
+- `POLICY.md`: acceptance and release-signing policy.
+
+At least two independent builders must reproduce a release before its hashes
+are published as verified. A builder signs only artifacts built from the exact
+reviewed source commit or annotated release tag.
+
+This repository is initially empty by design. Create release assertions only
+after the public Monzero source repository exists and builders have exchanged
+and verified their public-key fingerprints out of band.
+
