+* **key-wallet**: Low-level cryptographic primitives for HD wallets, mnemonic generation, and key derivation
+* **[key-wallet-manager](key-wallet-manager/README.md)**: High-level wallet management with transaction building, UTXO tracking, and coin selection

+* **dash-spv**: SPV (Simplified Payment Verification) client implementation
+
+For most applications, start with [key-wallet-manager](key-wallet-manager/README.md) which provides a complete, easy-to-use interface for wallet operations.

+# TODOs for Rust Dashcore Key Wallet System
+
+## Critical Issues (Prevent Compilation)
+
+### dashcore crate compilation errors
+The underlying `dashcore` crate has pre-existing compilation errors that prevent `key-wallet-manager` from building:
+
+1. **Missing imports in crypto/sighash.rs**: Two unresolved imports are causing E0432 errors
+2. **65 warnings in dashcore**: Various deprecated method usage and unused variables
+
+**Impact**: key-wallet-manager cannot compile until dashcore is fixed.
+**Priority**: Critical - blocks all high-level wallet functionality.
+
+## Remaining Features (Optional)
+
+### Serialization support
+The last pending feature from the original plan:
+
+1. **Create wallet serialization**: Add serde support for saving/loading wallets from disk
+2. **Encrypted wallet storage**: Add password protection for saved wallets
+3. **Backup and restore**: Implement mnemonic and xprv/xpub backup functionality
+
+**Impact**: Wallets cannot be persisted between application runs.
+**Priority**: Medium - useful for production applications.
+
+### Testing improvements
+1. **Multi-language mnemonic tests**: Currently marked as `#[ignore]` - need actual multi-language support
+2. **Integration tests**: More comprehensive testing of key-wallet + key-wallet-manager integration
+3. **Transaction building tests**: Test actual transaction creation and signing
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+### Watch-only wallet derivation
+The current watch-only wallet implementation creates its own derivation paths rather than using the exact same addresses as the original wallet. This is due to the separation between account-level xpubs and the AddressPool API requirements.
+
+### dashcore dependency issues
+The architecture assumes dashcore will eventually compile. If dashcore continues to have issues, key-wallet-manager may need to:
+1. Use a different transaction library
+2. Implement transaction types internally
+3. Wait for dashcore fixes
+
+## Status Summary
+
+✅ **Completed Successfully:**
+- Restructured crate architecture (key-wallet + key-wallet-manager)
+- Fixed all key-wallet compilation issues
+- Added comprehensive tests for mnemonics and address management
+- Created watch-only wallet functionality
+- Enhanced derivation module with builder pattern
+- Separated low-level primitives from high-level operations
+
+❌ **Blocked by External Issues:**
+- key-wallet-manager compilation (blocked by dashcore)
+- Transaction building functionality (blocked by dashcore)
+- Integration tests (blocked by dashcore)
+
+✅ **Architecture Goals Met:**
+- Clean separation of concerns
+- No circular dependencies
+- Proper use of existing dashcore types
+- Extensible design for future features
