+**echoIRCd** is a modern IRC daemon, written from scratch in Rust. It is original code — not a fork
+of another ircd — and the entire tree compiles with `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]`.
+
+Accounts and channels are handled by **echo services**, a *separate* companion package that links
+to the daemon over the server-to-server protocol — the daemon itself is a pure ircd and does not
+have services built in.
## What you get
-- **echoIRCd** — the server: a single-threaded core with an epoll reactor pool, the full channel
- and user mode set, host cloaking, connection classes, and an operator privilege model.
-- **echo services** — NickServ, ChanServ, OperServ, MemoServ and more, linked over a standard
- server-to-server protocol and backed by an event-sourced store.
