 ## About Perimeter
 
-A project by [Circle Research](https://www.circle.com/en/circle-research), Perimeter offers several important features, such as the ability to delegate loan management and monitoring, integration with [open identity standards](https://www.circle.com/en/verite), and the flexibility to accommodate different types of credit instruments. Perimeter stands out for not relying on a protocol token and its adaptability to various scenarios.

+Please note: Perimeter Protocol is a Proof-of-Concept by Circle Research and is provided “as-is” as an open-source contribution. As a research project, it has not been productionized nor does Circle have intentions to productionize it. Anyone using or extending Perimeter Protocol does so at their own risk, and should carefully consider whether additional security audits, reviews, or testing are needed before production use.
