+## Inventory
 
-## About The Project
+The Construct-X EDC is split into a Control Plane and a Data Plane.
 
-The project provides pre-built control- and data-plane [docker](https://www.docker.com/) images
-and [helm](https://helm.sh/) charts of
-the [Eclipse DataSpaceConnector Project](https://github.com/eclipse-edc/Connector).
+The Control Plane is responsible for resource management,
+contract negotiation and transfer orchestration.
 
-## Inventory
+The Data Plane handles the actual transfer of data streams.
 
-The eclipse data space connector is split up into Control-Plane and Data-Plane, whereas the Control-Plane functions as
-administration layer and has responsibility of resource management, contract negotiation and administer data transfer.
-The Data-Plane does the heavy lifting of transferring and receiving data streams.
+### Control Plane distributions
 
-Control-Plane distribution:
-
-- [edc-controlplane-postgresql-hashicorp-vault](edc-controlplane/edc-controlplane-postgresql-hashicorp-vault) with
-  dependency onto
+- [edc-controlplane-postgresql-hashicorp-vault](edc-controlplane/edc-controlplane-construct-x/con-x-controlplane-postgresql-hashicorp-vault) with
+  dependencies on
   - [Hashicorp Vault](https://www.vaultproject.io/)
   - [PostgreSQL 8.2 or newer](https://www.postgresql.org/)
+- [edc-runtime-memory](edc-controlplane/edc-runtime-memory)
 
-Data-Plane distribution:
+### Data Plane distributions
 
-- [edc-dataplane-hashicorp-vault](edc-dataplane/edc-dataplane-hashicorp-vault) with dependency onto

+- [Eclipse Dataspace Components](https://github.com/eclipse-edc/Connector)
 
-### Build
+## Construct-X Extensions
 
-Build Tractus-X EDC together with its Container Images
+Construct-X adds custom integrations and runtime extensions
+on top of the Eclipse Tractus-X EDC.
 
-```shell
-./gradlew dockerize
-```
+This includes:
+- Construct-X specific policy extensions
+- Custom credential handling
+- Wallet integration support
+- Local testbed environments
 
-## Known Incompatibilities
+## Getting Started
 
-- Hashicorp Vault 1.18.1 is not compatible with the EDC due to a bug in the vault concerning path handling
-  - [Internal Issue](https://github.com/eclipse-tractusx/tractusx-edc/issues/1772)
-  - [Hashicorp Vault Issue](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/issues/29357)
+The local testbed provides a lightweight environment for local Construct-X EDC development and integration testing.
+It is the recommended starting point for developers getting started with the Construct-X EDC.
