 # `cuprate_database`
 Consider reading `cuprate_database`'s crate documentation before this crate, as it is the first layer.
 
+If/when this crate needs is used, be sure to use the version that this crate re-exports, e.g.:
+```rust
+use cuprate_blockchain::{
+    cuprate_database::RuntimeError,
+};
+```
+This ensures the types/traits used from `cuprate_database` are the same ones used by `cuprate_blockchain` internally.
