-## Protobuf Compilation
-
-The `lnd` project uses `protobuf`, and its extension [`gRPC`](www.grpc.io) in
-several areas and as the primary RPC interface. In order to ensure uniformity
-of all protos checked, in we require that all contributors pin against the
-_exact same_ version of `protoc`. As of the writing of this article, the `lnd`
-project uses [v3.4.0](https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/tag/v3.4.0)
-of `protoc`.
-
-For detailed instructions on how to compile modifications to `lnd`'s `protobuf`
-definitions, check out the [lnrpc README](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/lnrpc/README.md).
