+
+We have been applying hax to verify several Rust pieces of software
+recently. hax was used to verify [Libcrux's implementation of
+ML-KEM](https://cryspen.com/post/ml-kem-verification/) with F*, but
+also for [smart
+contracts](https://popl24.sigplan.org/details/CoqPL-2024-papers/9/Specifying-Smart-Contract-with-Hax-and-ConCert)
+verification with Coq, and even on
+[protocols](https://github.com/cryspen/bertie) with F\* and our new
+ProVerif backend.
+
+Meanwhile, we also presented hax at several conferences and
+workshops. The need for more documentation and guidance was becoming
+apparent: it was about time to have a tutorial!
+
+## New resources to learn more about hax
+
+The [hax book](https://hacspec.org/book/) has three new chapters:
+ - The [Quick start](https://hacspec.org/book/quick_start/intro.html)
+   chapter explains how to go from a simple Rust crate to an F*
+   extraction via hax, including how to install the tooling.
+ - The [Tutorial](https://hacspec.org/book/tutorial/index.html)
+   chapter goes more in depth into using hax and F* together in order
+   to prove various properties about Rust code.
+ - The [FAQ](https://hacspec.org/book/faq/into.html) chapter is a work
+   in progress, but is intended to anwser pragmatically and with
+   examples to precise common issues or questions. Feel free to open
+   an issue on the [book
+   repository](https://github.com/hacspec/book/issues) if you feel like a topic should be addressed!
+
+We also added several examples of Rust verification via hax and F* in
+the [example
+directory](https://github.com/hacspec/hax/tree/main/examples) of hax,
+please check them out!
