+# mold: A Modern Linker
+
+mold is a faster drop-in replacement for existing Unix linkers. It is several
+times quicker than the LLVM lld linker, the second-fastest open-source linker.
+mold aims to enhance developer productivity by minimizing build time, 
+particularly in rapid debug-edit-rebuild cycles.
+
+You can configure Conan to download the latest version of `mold` and use it as the linker 
+when building your dependencies and projects from source. Currently only supported
+when targeting Linux as the platform.
+
+To use mold automatically as the linker, you can add the following section to your
+_host_ profile that targets Linux. When using gcc, please note that the following
+flags require gcc 12.1 or greater.
+
+```
+[tool_requires]
+*:mold/[*]
+[conf]
+tools.build:exelinkflags=['-fuse-ld=mold']
+tools.build:sharedlinkflags=['-fuse-ld=mold']
+```
