 This package comes with serialization & deserialization of data structures related to Cardano
 blockchain transactions and useful utility functions.
+
+The goal of the package is to generate an unsigned transaction cbor that
+can be signed and submitted to the blockchain. The package communicates neither with the wallet
+nor with the blockchain therefore signing and submission are outside of scope of this package.
+
+## Usage
+
+Import `package:catalyst_cardano_serialization/catalyst_cardano_serialization.dart`,
+instantiate `TransactionBuilder`, provide transaction inputs, outputs, add change address
+for any remaining unspent UTXOs and build the transaction body.
+
+The transaction body must be signed by witnesses in order to be submitted to the blockchain.
+Otherwise the validity of the transaction could not be established and such transaction
+would be rejected. The caller must prove that they are eligible to spend the input UTXOs.
+
+Example:
+
+```dart
+import 'package:catalyst_cardano_serialization/catalyst_cardano_serialization.dart';
+import 'package:cbor/cbor.dart';
+import 'package:convert/convert.dart';

+
+
+## Limitations
+
+This package supports a minimal `TransactionBuilder` that does not yet work with
+Smart Contracts, scripts or NFTs. However AuxiliaryMetadata is already supported thus
+it's possible to fulfill some of the use cases.
+
+Only Shelley era bech32 base and stake addresses are supported. Byron era addresses are not supported.
