 - [`chain`](./crates/chain): Tools for storing and indexing chain data
-- [`persist`](./crates/persist): Types that define data persistence of a BDK wallet
 - [`file_store`](./crates/file_store): A (experimental) persistence backend for storing chain data in a single file.
 - [`esplora`](./crates/esplora): Extends the [`esplora-client`] crate with methods to fetch chain data from an esplora HTTP server in the form that [`bdk_chain`] and `Wallet` can consume.
 - [`electrum`](./crates/electrum): Extends the [`electrum-client`] crate with methods to fetch chain data from an electrum server in the form that [`bdk_chain`] and `Wallet` can consume.
