contribution rate to the project is expected to lead to a high quality, stable,
production-worthy implementation in 2021.

+Crates
+-----------
+1. [lightning](./lightning)
+ The Core of the LDK library, implements the lightning protocol, channel state machine,
+ and on-chain logic. Supports no-std and exposes on relatively low-level interfaces.
+2. [lightning-background-processor](./lightning-background-processor)
+ Utilities to perform required background tasks for Rust Lightning.
+3. [lightning-block-sync](./lightning-block-sync)
+ Utilities to fetch the chain data from a block source and feed them into Rust Lightning.
+4. [lightning-invoice](./lightning-invoice)
+ Data structures to parse and serialize BOLT11 lightning invoices.
+5. [lightning-net-tokio](./lightning-net-tokio)
+ Implementation of the rust-lightning network stack using Tokio.
+ For Rust-Lightning clients which wish to make direct connections to Lightning P2P nodes,
+ this is a simple alternative to implementing the required network stack, especially for those already using Tokio.
+6. [lightning-persister](./lightning-persister)
+ Utilities to manage Rust-Lightning channel data persistence and retrieval.
