-# Contract Standards
+# Contract standards
 
-Standard interfaces and patterns for Koinos smart contracts.
+Koinos Contract Standards (KCSs) describe interfaces intended to improve
+interoperability between contracts and applications. They are separate from
+governance proposals.
 
-## Overview
+The titles and statuses below were checked on **2026-07-25** against commit
+[`ef6f3d8`](https://github.com/koinos/koinos-contract-standards/commit/ef6f3d8edc75673842e927edba1232fe47df51e4)
+of the canonical
+[koinos/koinos-contract-standards](https://github.com/koinos/koinos-contract-standards)
+repository.
 
-Contract standards ensure interoperability between different applications and provide consistent interfaces for common functionality.

+Use the immutable links above when reviewing the version summarized here. Check
+the [latest KCS directory](https://github.com/koinos/koinos-contract-standards/tree/master/KCSs)
+before implementing a standard because titles, statuses, and specifications can
+change.
 
+These summaries are only a directory. Read the complete standard, its status,
+and its linked definitions before implementation. For contract development,
+continue with [Smart Contracts](../contracts/index.md); for API details, see

+contracts.
+
+## Block-production pools
+
+These services provide interfaces for participating in pooled block production.
+They are not part of the Koinos protocol or the official node software.
+
+- [Fogata](https://fogata.io/) — pool discovery and participation interface
+  maintained by Julián González; related source is available in
+  [joticajulian/fogata](https://github.com/joticajulian/fogata). It is
+  third-party.
+- [BurnKoin](https://burnkoin.com/) — block-production pool interface
+  maintained by the BurnKoin project/Luke Willis. The site links its
+  [pool contracts](https://github.com/lukemwillis/koinos-burn-pool) and
+  [web interface](https://github.com/lukemwillis/koinos-burn-pool-ui)
+  repositories. It is third-party.
+
+This directory makes no claim about rewards, returns, uptime, performance, or
+the safety of funds. For protocol-level block production and Proof of Burn, see
+[Node Operators](../nodes/index.md) and
+[Proof of Burn](../architecture/proof-of-burn.md).
+
+## Node software and operator applications
+
+The official Koinos reference node remains the
+[microservice-based Koinos node](https://github.com/koinos/koinos). The
+projects below are community-led, experimental alternatives. Follow the
+[Node Operators](../nodes/index.md) documentation for the standard production
+path.
 
-## DeFi Applications
