 - 📡 No direct on-chain awareness: Relies entirely on indexer and internal attestation state
 - ⏳ Straightforward finalization: Uses a simple, time-based approach per chain for determining transaction finality
 
+## UI Usage
+
+A basic frontend is available at the root path (`GET /`), or at `localhost:3001/` when running locally in dev mode. While the primary intended mechanism of interaction with Smallocator is via the API, the UI serves as a convenient and direct secondary access point.
+
+It supports:
+ - viewing the health status of the server
+ - managing session key via EIP-4361 (Sign in with Ethereum)
+ - depositing Native tokens and ERC20 tokens
+ - viewing allocatable and allocated balances
+ - performing allocated transfers and withdrawals
+ - initiating, executing, and disabling forced withdrawals
+
+Note that the frontend is still relatively unstable (any contributions here are welcome).
