-## Installation
+The `@erc725/erc725.js` package allows you to retrieve, encode and decode data easily from any ERC725Y smart contracts using ERC725Y JSON Schemas.
 
-```bash
-npm install @erc725/erc725.js

-## Instantiation
-
-You need to initialise the ERC725 object with a [schema](https://docs.lukso.tech/tools/erc725js/schemas), a contract address, and an RPC URL.
-
-```js
-const address = '0x0Dc07C77985fE31996Ed612F568eb441afe5768D';
-const RPC_URL = 'https://rpc.testnet.lukso.network';
-const config = {
-  ipfsGateway: 'https://YOUR-IPFS-GATEWAY/ipfs/',
-  gas: 20_000_000, // optional, default is 1_000_000
-};
+```bash
+npm install @erc725/erc725.js
 ```

+## Usage
 
 > If you are using ES6 `import` statements in Node.js, make sure your file has a `.mjs` extension, or that your project is set up to support ES6 modules.

+There are 3 main ways to use _erc725.js_.
