+This repository also contains the Statemint runtime (as well as the canary runtime Statemine and the
+test runtime Westmint).
+Statemint is a common good parachain providing an asset store for the Polkadot ecosystem.

+## Build & Launch a Node
+
+To run a Statemine or Westmint node (Statemint is not deployed, yet) you will need to compile the
+`polkadot-collator` binary:
+
+```sh
+cargo build --release --locked -p polkadot-collator
+```
+
+Once the executable is built, launch the parachain node via:
+
+```sh
+CHAIN=westmint # or statemine
+./target/release/polkadot-collator --chain $CHAIN
+```
+
+Refer to the [setup instructions below](#local-setup) to run a local network for development.
