+# Contributor Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our Talus
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual
+identity and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall
+  community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of
+  any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address,
+  without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Designated project maintainers and a moderation team (collectively "the enforcers") are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior. They will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful within the community spaces defined in this Code of Conduct.
+
+The enforcers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions on project-managed platforms that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct. They will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate. This Code of Conduct governs behavior within our community spaces; it does not extend to governing on-chain interactions which are subject to the rules of the protocol itself.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all project-managed community spaces, including but not limited to our GitHub repositories, official Discord server, community forums, Telegram groups, and during project-related events. It also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces. Examples of representing our community include using an official project email address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the enforcers (as defined in "Enforcement Responsibilities") at
+[email protected].
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident. We strive to apply this Code of Conduct consistently, but acknowledge that the permissionless and pseudonymous nature of some blockchain interactions may present challenges to enforcement beyond project-controlled platforms. Our focus is on maintaining a healthy environment within the community spaces we manage.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of
+actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent
+ban.
+
+### 3. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the
+community on project-managed platforms (e.g., GitHub, Discord). We acknowledge that individuals may attempt to evade such bans using new pseudonymous identities in a permissionless ecosystem; however, we will enforce these consequences to the best of our ability on the platforms we control.
