 a stable state.
 
+## Supported platforms
+
+Like [Rust platform support tiers][rustps], supports for MMTk core on different platforms (targets) are organized into three tiers.
+
+-   Tier 1 platforms are guaranteed to work.
+-   Tier 2 platforms are guaranteed to build.
+-   Tier 3 platforms have support in the mmtk-core code base, but we make no guarantee whether they will build or work.
+
+Here is a list of supported platforms.
+
+| Platform                    | Rust tier | MMTk tier | Notes |
+|-----------------------------|-----------|-----------|-------|
