+# Our Libraries
+
+The primary purpose of the Foundation is to:
+
+1. advance the Bitcoin software development industry by fostering innovation, promoting best practices, and improving the overall ecosystem; 
+2. support the promotion, research, development, maintenance, and security of the Bitcoin Dev Kit (BDK) libraries and other projects supporting the Bitcoin software industry (the "Projects"); 
+3. support and empower Bitcoin software developers through educational initiatives, open-source project support, and industry-wide collaboration; 
+4. manage the technical infrastructure underlying the development of the Projects; 
+5. manage and steward the BDK trademark and other assets of the Foundation;
+6. undertake such other activities as may from time to time be appropriate to further the purposes and achieve the goals set forth above. 
+
+In furtherance of these efforts, the Foundation shall seek to solicit the participation of all interested parties on a fair, equitable, and open basis.
+
+To these ends we provide the technical infrastructure to maintain a number of software projects across different maturity levels. To help you navigate these projects we've categorized them into three distinct groups. 
+
+## Library Categories
+
+### The `Foundational` Tier
+
+The libraries that form the core of the BDK ecosystem. These repositories receive the highest level of attention and maintenance.
+
+**What to expect:**
+
+- Two official maintainers
+- Maintainers are supported by grant funding from the BDK Foundation
+- A robust community of users and volunteer maintainers
+- Comprehensive test coverage and CI/CD
+- Security updates and dependency maintenance
+- Security updates back ported to prior major release
+- Active monitoring and fast response to issues
+- Semantic versioning with clear release notes
+- Data schema stability guarantees and clear migration paths
+- Extensive documentation (API, tutorials, guides, etc.) with code examples
+- Example applications
+
+### The `Community` Tier
+
+Well-maintained libraries that serve more specific use cases and see less frequent updates. These repositories rely more on community contributions for maintenance.
+
+**What to expect:**
+
+- Two official maintainers
+- Maintained by volunteers from the community
+- Maintainers may receive grant funding from the BDK Foundation
+- A robust community of users and volunteer maintainers
+- Comprehensive test coverage and CI/CD
+- Security updates and dependency maintenance
+- Semantic versioning with clear release notes
+- Response to issues within a reasonable timeframe
+- Documentation (API) with code examples
+
+### The `Experimental` Tier
+
+Early-stage projects. These may be unstable or undergoing rapid iteration. These projects aim to over time become either `Foundational` or `Community` projects, but are not yet ready.
+
+**What to expect:**
+
+- At least one official maintainer
+- Maintained by volunteers from the community
+- Incomplete or evolving APIs
+- Only basic test coverage and CI/CD
+- Limited or no backward compatibility guarantees
+- Minimal documentation
+- Potential for major changes or deprecation

+## Where to Find This Information
+
+You can find the tiers assigned to each library in our [GitHub Org](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit) under the [Libraries heading](https://github.com/bitcoindevkit#our-core-libraries). There you'll also find information on the specific maintainers assigned to each library.
