5 | | -Basecoin is an [ABCI application](https://github.com/tendermint/abci) designed to be used with the [Tendermint consensus engine](https://tendermint.com/) to form a Proof-of-Stake cryptocurrency. |
6 | | -It also provides a general purpose framework for extending the feature-set of the cryptocurrency |
7 | | -by implementing plugins. |
| 6 | +Potential release maybe late September. Please watch this space for details, |
| 7 | +but please don't build on it yet. |

|
9 | | -Basecoin serves as a reference implementation for how we build ABCI applications in Go, |
10 | | -and is the framework in which we implement the [Cosmos Hub](https://cosmos.network). |
11 | | -**It's easy to use, and doesn't require any forking** - just implement your plugin, import the basecoin libraries, |
12 | | -and away you go with a full-stack blockchain and command line tool for transacting. |

14 | | -WARNING: Currently uses plain-text private keys for transactions and is otherwise not production ready. |
