-## PGP keys of Gitian builders and Tendermint Developers
-
-The file `keys.txt` contains fingerprints of the public keys of Gitian builders
-and active developers.
-
-The associated keys are mainly used to sign git commits or the build results
-of Gitian builds.
-
-The most recent version of each pgp key can be found on most PGP key servers.
-
-Fetch the latest version from the key server to see if any key was revoked in
-the meantime.
-To fetch the latest version of all pgp keys in your gpg homedir,
-
-```bash
-gpg --refresh-keys
-```
-
-To fetch keys of Gitian builders and active core developers, feed the list of
-fingerprints of the primary keys into gpg:
-
-```bash
-while read fingerprint keyholder_name; \
-do gpg --keyserver hkp://subset.pool.sks-keyservers.net \
---recv-keys ${fingerprint}; done < ./keys.txt
-```
-
-Add your key to the list if you are a Tendermint core developer or you have
-provided Gitian signatures for two major or minor releases of Tendermint.
