-//! Interface for giving wallet processes access to blockchain state.
+//! Interface giving clients (wallet processes, maybe other analysis tools in
+//! the future) ability to access to the chain state, receive notifications,
+//! estimate fees, and submit transactions.
+//!
+//! TODO: Current chain methods are too low level, exposing too much of the
+//! internal workings of the bitcoin node, and not being very convenient to use.
+//! Chain methods should be cleaned up and simplified over time. Examples:
+//!
+//! * The Chain::lock() method, which lets clients delay chain tip updates
+//! should be removed when clients are able to respond to updates
+//! asynchronously
+//! (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10973#issuecomment-380101269).
+//!
+//! * The relayTransactions() and submitToMemoryPool() methods could be replaced
+//! with a higher-level broadcastTransaction method
+//! (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14978#issuecomment-459373984).
+//!
+//! * The initMessages() and loadWallet() methods which the wallet uses to send
+//! notifications to the GUI should go away when GUI and wallet can directly
+//! communicate with each other without going through the node
+//! (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15288#discussion_r253321096).
