+Heimdall is an advanced EVM smart contract toolkit specializing in bytecode analysis and extracting information from unverified contracts. Heimdall is written in Rust and is designed to be fast, modular, and more accurate than other existing tools.
 
 Currently, Heimdall supports the following operations:
  * EVM Bytecode Disassembly
  * EVM Smart-Contract Control Flow Graph Generation
  * EVM Smart-Contract Decompilation
  * Smart-Contract Storage Dumping
- * Transaction Calldata Decoding
+ * Raw Transaction Calldata Decoding
+ * Raw Transaction Trace Decoding
