# subxt-historic
**This crate is a work in progress and currently is released only as a preview.**
While `subxt` is a library for working at the head of a chain (submitting transactions and obtaining the current state), `subxt-historic` is a library for decoding blocks and state that are anywhere in a chain. To broadly summarize the differences:
| Feature | subxt | subxt-historic |
|-----------------------------------------|------------------------------|-------------------------------|
| Block access | Head of chain | Any block in chain |
| Connection to chain | Light client or RPC node | Archive RPC nodes only |
| Transaction submission | Yes | No |
| Metadata compatibility | V14 and newer | Any version |
# Examples
See the [examples](https://github.com/paritytech/subxt/tree/master/historic/examples) folder for examples of how to use `subxt-historic`.
