-### Swift Package (Recommended)
+### Swift Package
 The [Swift Package Manager](https://swift.org/package-manager/ "") is a tool for automating the distribution of Swift code that is well integrated with Swift build system.
 
 Once you have your Swift package set up, adding `web3swift` as a dependency is as easy as adding it to the `dependencies` value of your `Package.swift`.

 ### CocoaPods
 
-[CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org) is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:
+CocoaPods is not supported.
 
-```bash
-$ sudo gem install cocoapods
+### Create Web3 Provider
+Currently, web3swift supports only HTTP providers. WebSocket provider support was removed and is planned to be rebuilt from scratch.
+To create a Web3HttpProvider you only need an RPC URL:
+```swift
+try await Web3HttpProvider(url: rpcUrl)
 ```
 
-To integrate web3swift into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your `Podfile`:
+But if you know chain ID upfront it's better to specify one as well as with chain ID, the initializer won't have to ask the RPC for it and thus you guarantee that the initializer completes successfully without any asynchronous calls, considering your URL using `http/s` scheme:
+```swift
+let optionalChainId: Networks = .Custom(networkID: 42)
+try await Web3HttpProvider(url: rpcUrl, network: optionalChainId)
+```
 
-```ruby
-source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
-platform :ios, '13.0'
+Specify a keystore manager for the Web3HttpProvider if you want `web3.personal` namespace to work as it relies on use of the keystore:
+```swift
+try await Web3HttpProvider(url: rpcUrl, network: optionalChainId, keystoreManager: optionalKeystoreManager)
+```
 
-target '<Your Target Name>' do
-    use_frameworks!
-    pod 'web3swift'
-end
+### Create Web3 Object
+Creating a Web3 object is quite simple once you have a Web3 HTTP provider:
+```swift
+Web3(provider: provider)
 ```
 
-Then, run the following command:
-```bash
-$ pod install
+Or if you are a user of Infura:
+```swift
+try await Web3.InfuraMainnetWeb3(accessToken: optionalInfuraToken)
+try await Web3.InfuraGoerliWeb3(accessToken: optionalInfuraToken)
 ```
 
-> **WARNING**: CocoaPods is a powerful tool for managing dependencies in iOS development, but it also has some limitations that preventing us of providing first class support there. We highly recommend using SPM first as using CocoaPods will delay new updates and bug fixes being delivered to you.
+If you have a URL or you are using Infura you can use the following:
+```swift
+try await Web3.new(url, network: chainIdHere)
+// or
+let web3 = try await Web3.InfuraMainnetWeb3(accessToken: optionalInfuraToken)
+let web3 = try await Web3.InfuraGoerliWeb3(accessToken: optionalGoerliToken)
