+## Overview
+
+Tokio is an event-driven, non-blocking I/O platform for writing asynchronous I/O
+backed applications. It is used for implementing networking clients and servers.
 
-## Usage
+Tokio uses the [`futures`] crate as a foundation to build on, providing
+networking types and other utilities needed for building a production ready
+application.
 
-This project is a **work in progress**, more information will be added here as
-it progresses.
