-An online, alloy-backed derivation pipeline, built on [`kona-derive`](../derive).
+An online, alloy-backed derivation pipeline, built on [`kona-derive`][d].
+
+## Usage
+
+The easiest way to use `kona-derive-alloy` to construct a derivation pipeline
+backed by [alloy][a] providers is to use the exported `new_online_pipeline` method.
+
+```rust
+use std::sync::Arc;
+use op_alloy_protocol::BlockInfo;
+use op_alloy_genesis::RollupConfig;
+use kona_derive_alloy::prelude::*;
+
+let rollup_config = Arc::new(RollupConfig::default());
+let chain_provider =
+    AlloyChainProvider::new_http("http://127.0.0.1:8545".try_into().unwrap());
+let l2_chain_provider = AlloyL2ChainProvider::new_http(
+    "http://127.0.0.1:9545".try_into().unwrap(),
+    rollup_config.clone(),
+);
+let beacon_client = OnlineBeaconClient::new_http("http://127.0.0.1:5555".into());
+let blob_provider = OnlineBlobProvider::new(beacon_client, None, None);
+let blob_provider = OnlineBlobProviderWithFallback::new(blob_provider, None);
+let dap_source =
+    EthereumDataSource::new(chain_provider.clone(), blob_provider, &rollup_config);
+let builder = StatefulAttributesBuilder::new(
+    rollup_config.clone(),
+    l2_chain_provider.clone(),
+    chain_provider.clone(),
+);
+let origin = BlockInfo::default();
+
+let pipeline = new_online_pipeline(
+    rollup_config.clone(),
+    chain_provider,
+    dap_source,
+    l2_chain_provider,
+    builder,
+    origin,
+);
+
+assert_eq!(pipeline.rollup_config, rollup_config);
+assert_eq!(pipeline.origin(), Some(origin));
+```
