+## Examples of how to use the Reth SDK
+
+This directory contains a number of examples showcasing various capabilities of
+the `reth-*` crates.
+
+All examples can be executed with:
+
+```
+cargo run --example $name
+```
+
+A good starting point for the examples would be [`db-access`](db-access.rs)
+and [`rpc-db`](rpc-db.rs).
+
+If you've got an example you'd like to see here, please feel free to open an
+issue. Otherwise if you've got an example you'd like to add, please feel free
+to make a PR!
