 # zebra 🦓
 
-
 Hello! I am Zebra, an ongoing Rust implementation of a Zcash node.
 
 Zebra is a work in progress.  It is developed as a collection of `zebra-*`
 libraries implementing the different components of a Zcash node (networking,
 chain structures, consensus rules, etc), and a `zebrad` binary which uses them.
 
+Most of our work so far has gone into `zebra-network`, building a new
+networking stack for Zcash, and `zebra-chain`, building foundational data
+structures.
