+
+The chainntnfs package implements a set of interfaces which allow callers to
+receive notifications in response to specific on-chain events. The set of
+notifications available include: 
+
+  * Notifications for each new block connected to the current best chain.
+  * Notifications once a `txid` has reached a specified number of
+    confirmations.
+  * Notifications once a target outpoint (`txid:index`) has been spent.
+
+These notifications are used within `lnd` in order to properly handle the
+workflows for: channel funding, cooperative channel closures, forced channel
+closures, channel contract breaches, sweeping time-locked outputs, and finally
+pruning the channel graph. 
+
+This package is intentionally general enough to be applicable outside the
+specific use cases within `lnd` outlined above. The current sole concrete
+implementation of the `ChainNotifier` interface depends on `btcd`.
