+# Code of Conduct - Movement
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to make participation in our project and
+our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression,
+level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal
+appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behaviour 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 apologising 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 behaviour include:
+
+* The use of sexualised language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances
+* 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

+## Code of Conduct
+
+This project and everyone participating in it is governed by the
+[Movement Code of Conduct](https://github.com/movementlabsxyz/movement/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior
+to <[email protected]>.
+
+
+## I Have a Question
+
+> If you want to ask a question, we assume that you have read the available [Documentation](https://docs.movementnetwork.xyz/).
+
+Before you ask a question, it is best to search for existing [Issues](https://github.com/movementlabsxyz/movement/issues) that might help you. In case you have found a suitable issue and still need clarification, you can write your question in this issue. It is also advisable to search the internet for answers first.
+
+If you then still feel the need to ask a question and need clarification, we recommend the following:
+
+- Open an [Issue](https://github.com/movementlabsxyz/movement/issues/new/choose).
+- Provide as much context as you can about what you're running into.
+- Provide project and platform versions (nodejs, npm, etc), depending on what seems relevant.
+
+We will then take care of the issue as soon as possible.
+
+<!--
+You might want to create a separate issue tag for questions and include it in this description. People should then tag their issues accordingly.
+
+Depending on how large the project is, you may want to outsource the questioning, e.g. to Stack Overflow or Gitter. You may add additional contact and information possibilities:
+- IRC
+- Slack
+- Gitter
+- Stack Overflow tag
+- Blog
+- FAQ
+- Roadmap
+- E-Mail List
+- Forum

+
+## I Want To Contribute
+
+> ### Legal Notice <!-- omit in toc -->
+> When contributing to this project, you must agree that you have authored 100% of the content, that you have the necessary rights to the content and that the content you contribute may be provided under the project licence.
+
+### Reporting Bugs
+
+<!-- omit in toc -->
+#### Before Submitting a Bug Report
+
+A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more information. Therefore, we ask you to investigate carefully, collect information and describe the issue in detail in your report. Please complete the following steps in advance to help us fix any potential bug as fast as possible.
+
+- Make sure that you are using the latest version.
+- Determine if your bug is really a bug and not an error on your side e.g. using incompatible environment components/versions (Make sure that you have read the [documentation](https://docs.movementnetwork.xyz/). If you are looking for support, you might want to check [this section](#i-have-a-question)).
+- To see if other users have experienced (and potentially already solved) the same issue you are having, check if there is not already a bug report existing for your bug or error in the [bug tracker](https://github.com/movementlabsxyz/movement/issues?q=label%3Abug).
+- Also make sure to search the internet (including Stack Overflow) to see if users outside of the GitHub community have discussed the issue.
+- Collect information about the bug:
+  - Stack trace (Traceback)
+  - OS, Platform and Version (Windows, Linux, macOS, x86, ARM)
+  - Version of the interpreter, compiler, SDK, runtime environment, package manager, depending on what seems relevant.
+  - Possibly your input and the output
+  - Can you reliably reproduce the issue? And can you also reproduce it with older versions?
+
+<!-- omit in toc -->
+#### How Do I Submit a Good Bug Report?
+
+> You must never report security related issues, vulnerabilities or bugs including sensitive information to the issue tracker, or elsewhere in public. Instead sensitive bugs must be sent by email to <[email protected]>.
+<!-- You may add a PGP key to allow the messages to be sent encrypted as well. -->
+
+We use GitHub issues to track bugs and errors. If you run into an issue with the project:
+
+- Open an [Issue](https://github.com/movementlabsxyz/movement/issues/new?template=bug_report.md). (Since we can't be sure at this point whether it is a bug or not, we ask you not to talk about a bug yet and not to label the issue.)
+- Explain the behavior you would expect and the actual behavior.
+- Please provide as much context as possible and describe the *reproduction steps* that someone else can follow to recreate the issue on their own. This usually includes your code. For good bug reports you should isolate the problem and create a reduced test case.
+- Provide the information you collected in the previous section.
+
+Once it's filed:
+
+- The project team will label the issue accordingly.
+- A team member will try to reproduce the issue with your provided steps. If there are no reproduction steps or no obvious way to reproduce the issue, the team will ask you for those steps and mark the issue as `needs-repro`. Bugs with the `needs-repro` tag will not be addressed until they are reproduced.
+- If the team is able to reproduce the issue, it will be marked `needs-fix`, as well as possibly other tags (such as `critical`), and the issue will be left to be [implemented by someone](#your-first-code-contribution).
+
+<!-- You might want to create an issue template for bugs and errors that can be used as a guide and that defines the structure of the information to be included. If you do so, reference it here in the description. -->
+
+
+### Suggesting Enhancements
+
+This section guides you through submitting an enhancement suggestion for Movement, **including completely new features and minor improvements to existing functionality**. Following these guidelines will help maintainers and the community to understand your suggestion and find related suggestions.
+
+<!-- omit in toc -->
+#### Before Submitting an Enhancement
+
+- Make sure that you are using the latest version.
+- Read the [documentation](https://docs.movementnetwork.xyz/) carefully and find out if the functionality is already covered, maybe by an individual configuration.
+- Perform a [search](https://github.com/movementlabsxyz/movement/issues) to see if the enhancement has already been suggested. If it has, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one.
+- Find out whether your idea fits with the scope and aims of the project. It's up to you to make a strong case to convince the project's developers of the merits of this feature. Keep in mind that we want features that will be useful to the majority of our users and not just a small subset. If you're just targeting a minority of users, consider writing an add-on/plugin library.
+
+<!-- omit in toc -->
+#### How Do I Submit a Good Enhancement Suggestion?
+
+Enhancement suggestions are tracked as [GitHub issues](https://github.com/movementlabsxyz/movement/issues). You can create a new enhancement issue via this [Template](https://github.com/movementlabsxyz/movement/issues/new?template=feature_request.md)
+
+- Use a **clear and descriptive title** for the issue to identify the suggestion.
+- Provide a **step-by-step description of the suggested enhancement** in as many details as possible.
+- **Describe the current behavior** and **explain which behavior you expected to see instead** and why. At this point you can also tell which alternatives do not work for you.
+- You may want to **include screenshots or screen recordings** which help you demonstrate the steps or point out the part which the suggestion is related to. You can use [LICEcap](https://www.cockos.com/licecap/) to record GIFs on macOS and Windows, and the built-in [screen recorder in GNOME](https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/screen-shot-record.html.en) or [SimpleScreenRecorder](https://github.com/MaartenBaert/ssr) on Linux. <!-- this should only be included if the project has a GUI -->
+- **Explain why this enhancement would be useful** to most Movement users. You may also want to point out the other projects that solved it better and which could serve as inspiration.
+
+<!-- You might want to create an issue template for enhancement suggestions that can be used as a guide and that defines the structure of the information to be included. If you do so, reference it here in the description. -->
+
+### Your First Code Contribution
+<!-- TODO
+include Setup of env, IDE and typical getting started instructions?
+
+-->
+If you’re new to contributing to open source or unsure where to start, we’ve got you covered. We recommend the following steps for your first code contribution:
+
+- **Find a “good first issue”** – These issues are marked to help new contributors start with smaller, manageable contributions.
+- **Set up the project** – Follow the instructions in the repository’s [README](https://github.com/movementlabsxyz/movement/blob/main/README.md) to set up the project locally.
+- **Get in touch** – Comment on the issue you’re interested in working on. Our maintainers will assist if you need any guidance.
+- **Make the changes** – Start small; fix a bug, update documentation, or work on a minor feature.
+- **Submit a Pull Request (PR)** – Once you’re ready, open a PR with a clear description of your changes.
+
+We’ll review your code, offer feedback, and help with any questions.
+
+### Improving The Documentation
+<!-- TODO
+Updating, improving and correcting the documentation
+
+-->
+Documentation improvements are always appreciated and highly valuable to the project. Here are some ways to improve documentation:
+
+- **Correcting typos or grammar** – Small changes can make a big difference in readability.
+- **Clarifying confusing sections** – If anything seems unclear to you, it likely will to others as well.
+- **Adding examples** – Code examples are incredibly helpful in showing how things work in practice.
+- **Updating outdated information** – Ensure everything reflects the current state of the project.
+
+When making documentation updates, remember to follow the **Styleguides** below.
+
+### Styleguides
+#### Code Style
+
+For Rust, we follow the standard Rust style guidelines, which include the following:
+
+- **Indentation**: Use 4 spaces for indentation, no tabs.
+- **Naming Conventions**: 
+  - Use `snake_case` for variables, functions, and file names.
+  - Use `PascalCase` for structs, enums, and traits.
+  - Use `ALL_CAPS` with underscores for constants.
+- **Module Organization**: Keep modules organized logically, typically grouping related structs, enums, and functions together.
+- **Error Handling**: Prefer `Result` and `Option` types over panics where possible.
+- **Documentation Comments**: Use `///` for public-facing functions and modules, and `//` for inline comments.
+- **Linting and Formatting**: Ensure your code passes `cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy` checks.
+
+#### Documentation Style
+
+When documenting Rust code, follow these conventions:
+
+- **Doc Comments**: Use `///` for public API documentation, describing the purpose, parameters, and return values.
+- **Examples**: Provide usage examples within the documentation, especially for public-facing functions and modules.
+- **Consistency**: Follow Rust’s documentation guidelines and maintain a clear and consistent tone.
+
+### Commit Messages
+
+We follow the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) specification for structuring commit messages, and **signed commits** are required. This helps in keeping a clear, structured, and verified commit history.
+
+#### Structure
+
+A Conventional Commit message consists of three parts: **type**, **scope** (optional), and **description**. The format is as follows:
+
+```
+<type>(<scope>): <description>
+```
+
+- **Type**: Describes the purpose of the commit. Examples: `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `style`, `refactor`, `test`, `chore`.
+- **Scope**: Optional, specifies the part of the codebase the commit affects (e.g., `api`, `docs`, `cli`).
+- **Description**: A brief summary of the changes, written in imperative mood (e.g., "Add new feature").
+
+Examples:
+- `feat(api): add new authentication method`
+- `fix(parser): handle null values correctly`
+- `docs: update contributing guide`
+
+#### Signing Commits
+
+To sign a commit, use:
+
+```bash
+git commit -S -m "feat(api): add new authentication method"
+```
+
+This ensures that each commit is verified and follows the project’s security standards.
+
+This style guide should help contributors maintain a consistent and idiomatic Rust codebase!
