 ## Why Tempel?
 
 - **Easy-to-use, high-level API** focused on [common tasks](../../wiki/2-Examples) like logins, encryption, signing, etc.
-- **Reasonable defaults** including choice of algorithms and work factors
-- **Future-proof data formats** with auto-updated algorithms and work factors over time
-- Support for [⧉ symmetric](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric-key_algorithm), [⧉ asymmetric](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography) (public-key), and [⧉ end-to-end](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_encryption) (E2EE) encryption
-- Automatic [⧉ scrypt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrypt) and [⧉ pbkdf2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2) support for easy **password-based key stretching**

+## Quick example
+
+```clojure
+(require
+  '[taoensso.tempel :as tempel]
+  '[taoensso.nippy  :as nippy])
+
+;; Create a new private `KeyChain`:
+(def my-keychain! (tempel/keychain))
+;; => {:n-sym 1, :n-prv 2, :n-pub 2, :secret? true}
+
+;; Use our `KeyChain` to encrypt some data:
+(def my-encrypted-data
+  (tempel/encrypt-with-symmetric-key
+    (nippy/freeze "My secret data")
+    my-keychain!)) ; => Encrypted bytes
+
+;; Get back the original unencrypted data:
+(nippy/thaw
+  (tempel/decrypt-with-symmetric-key
+    my-encrypted-data my-keychain!)) ; => "My secret data"
+
+;; It's safe to store encrypted `KeyChain`s:
+(def my-encrypted-keychain
+  (tempel/encrypt-keychain my-keychain!
+    {:password "My password"})) ; => Encrypted bytes
+
+;; Get back the original unencrypted `KeyChain`:
+(= my-keychain!
+  (tempel/decrypt-keychain my-encrypted-keychain
+    {:password "My password"})) ; => true
+
+;; `KeyChain`s also support:
+;;   - `encrypt-with-1-keypair`
+;;   - `encrypt-with-2-keypairs`
+;;   - `sign`
+
+;; See docstrings and/or wiki for more info!
