+## About
+
+The `magical` library aims to be the core building block for Bitcoin wallets of any kind.
+
+* It uses [Miniscript](https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-miniscript) to support descriptors with generalized conditions. This exact same library can be used to build
+  single-sig wallets, multisigs, timelocked contracts and more.
+* It supports multiple blockchain backends and databases, allowing developers to choose exactly what's right for their projects.
+* It's built to be cross-platform: the core logic works on desktop, mobile, and even WebAssembly.
+* It's very easy to extend: developers can implement customized logic for blockchain backends, databases, signers, coin selection, and more, without having to fork and modify this library.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Sync the balance of a descriptor
