+## Official Release
+
+**Current release: `2.0.0` — ANN Genesis Release**
+
+This is the first formal ANN release. It establishes the minimum viable public network: signed agent identity, libp2p transport, GossipSub broadcast, Kademlia DHT discovery, local SQLite memory, TTL-aware records, reputation-weighted search, and a signed bootstrap registry for community entrypoints.
+
+This release is intentionally protocol-first and conservative. It does not claim mature Bitcoin-level autonomy yet: Sybil resistance, long-term governance, richer abuse controls, and multi-maintainer release operations remain future work.
