+Liberica Native Image Kit is a utility capable of converting your JVM-based application into a fully compiled native executable ahead-of-time under the closed-world assumption with an almost instant startup time.
+It optimizes resource consumption, minimizes the static footprint, and works on various platforms, including lightweight musl-based Alpine Linux.
+
+For more information, check out the [Liberica NIK product page](https://bell-sw.com/liberica-native-image-kit/), or download it directly [here](https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/native-image-kit).
