+To control the regtest nodes, some useful aliases are provided.
+
+```bash
+source boltz/aliases.sh
+```
+
+After setting up the aliases, you can access the following commands:
+
+```bash
+# Mine blocks on both Bitcoin and Elements chains
+mine-block
+
+# Interact with bitcoind
+bitcoin-cli-sim-client getblockchaininfo
+
+# Interact with elements
+elements-cli-sim-client getblockchaininfo
+
+# Interact with Lightning nodes
+lightning-cli-sim 1 getinfo
+lncli-sim 1 getinfo
+```
+
+Useful commands for trying out the SDK:
+
+```bash
+# Get a bolt11 invoice
+lncli-sim 1 addinvoice <amount_sat>
+
+# Pay a bolt11 invoice
+lncli-sim 1 payinvoice --force <invoice>
+
+# Get a Bitcoin address
+bitcoin-cli-sim-client getnewaddress
+
+# Send bitcoin to a Bitcoin address
+bitcoin-cli-sim-client sendtoaddress <address> <amount_btc>
+
+# Get a Liquid address
+elements-cli-sim-client getnewaddress
+
+# Send L-BTC to a Liquid address
+elements-cli-sim-client sendtoaddress <address> <amount_lbtc>
