Description

Currently, the client API is channel based, via crossbeam-channel. It would be worth exploring what a futures-based API might look like around Client and client::Handle.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Understand the existing channel based client API and then research how to implement a futures based alternative using Rust async primitives like futures or tokio.
