-Create a `.env` file in the project root:
-
-```bash

+## Running unit tests
+
+Make sure you have an available postgres database and edit `DATABASE_URL` variable in the `.env` file accordingly. If you've used the docker command mentioned in the *Quickstart*
+section you don't need to change anything.

-## Development Setup
 
-1. Install Rust toolchain:
-   ```bash
-   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
-   ```
-
-2. Clone the repository:
-   ```bash
-   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/intrasys.git
-   cd intrasys
-   ```
-
-3. Run database migrations (optional - the app will create tables if they don't exist):
-   ```bash
-   sqlx migrate run
-   ```
 
 ## Assumptions
 
 - All accounts use the same currency
 - No authentication or authorization is implemented
-- Decimal precision of 10 decimal places is sufficient for financial amounts
+- Decimal precision of 2 decimal places is sufficient for financial amounts, maximum allowed monetary amount is (10^18 -0.01) and the minimum is (-10^18 + 0.01)
 - Account IDs are positive integers
+- Account creation must NOT be idempotent since it also sets the account balance (creating an account that already exists should fail)
+- Transfer money to an account that does not exist should not create a new account, but fail with an error (to prevent users from accidentally locking their money forever)
