+# `async-std` has been discontinued; use `smol` instead
 
-<br />
+We created `async-std` to demonstrate the value of making a library as close to
+`std` as possible, but async. We think that demonstration was successful, and
+we hope it will influence future design and development directions of async in
+`std`. However, in the meantime, the [`smol`](https://github.com/smol-rs/smol/)
+project came about and provided a great executor and libraries for asynchronous
+use in the Rust ecosystem. We think that resources would be better spent
+consolidating around `smol`, rather than continuing to provide occasional
+maintenance of `async-std`. As such, we recommend that all users of
+`async-std`, and all libraries built on `async-std`, switch to `smol` instead.
+
+In addition to the `smol` project as a direct replacement, you may find other
+parts of the futures ecosystem useful, including `futures-concurrency`,
+`async-io`, `futures-lite`, and `async-compat`.
