+# Code of Conduct
+
+The Sigyn project has a [Code of Conduct](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) that *all* contributors are
+expected to follow. This code describes the *minimum* behavior expectations
+for all contributors.
+
+As a contributor to Sigyn, how you choose to act and interact towards your
+fellow contributors, as well as to the community, will reflect back not only
+on yourself but on the project as a whole. The Code of Conduct is designed and
+intended, above all else, to help establish a culture within the project that
+allows anyone and everyone who wants to contribute to feel safe doing so.
+
+Should any individual act in any way that is considered in violation of the
+[Code of Conduct](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md), corrective actions will be taken. It is possible, however,
+for any individual to *act* in such a manner that is not in violation of the
+strict letter of the Code of Conduct guidelines while still going completely
+against the spirit of what that Code is intended to accomplish.
+
+Open, diverse, and inclusive communities live and die on the basis of trust.
+Contributors can disagree with one another so long as they trust that those
+disagreements are in good faith and everyone is working towards a common goal.
+
+## Bad actors
+
+All contributors to Sigyn tacitly agree to abide by both the letter and
+spirit of the [Code of Conduct](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). Failure, or unwillingness, to do so will
+result in contributions being respectfully declined.
+
+A *bad actor* is someone who repeatedly violates the *spirit* of the Code of
+Conduct through consistent failure to self-regulate the way in which they
+interact with other contributors in the project. In doing so, bad actors
+alienate other contributors, discourage collaboration, and generally reflect
+poorly on the project as a whole.
+
+Being a bad actor may be intentional or unintentional. Typically, unintentional
+bad behavior can be easily corrected by being quick to apologize and correct
+course *even if you are not entirely convinced you need to*. Giving other
+contributors the benefit of the doubt and having a sincere willingness to admit
+that you *might* be wrong is critical for any successful open collaboration.
+
+Don't be a bad actor.

+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+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
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail 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 community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+[INSERT CONTACT METHOD].
+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.
+
+## 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. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. 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.
