+## Usage
+
+It's recommanded to use PNG files. They are smaller and faster to load, come in two sizes (32x32 and 128x128) and are supported by all browsers.
+SVG files are also available, but they are larger and slower to load and can hurt performances for poorly optimized assets or very complex ones (ex: curvefi icon).
+
+## (Self) Hosting
+
+The repo comes with two different server systems in `_config`:
+- a `golang` server, that serve the assets from github
+- a `node` server, configured to work with Vercel. If you want to self host, here is the config we are using:
+```
+Framework Preset: Next.js
+Build Command: yarn --cwd _config/nodeAPI/ run build
+Output Directory: _config/nodeAPI/.next
+Install Command: yarn install && yarn --cwd _config/nodeAPI/ install
+Development Command: next
+Node Version: 18.x
+Environment Variables: None
+```
