 `revme` is a binary crate to execute the evm in multiple ways.
 
-Currently it is mainly used to run ethereum tests with the `statetest` subcommand.
+
+## Usage
+You can run it directly from the command line with the following command:
+```shell
+cargo run -p revme  <FLAGS> <SUBCOMMAND>
+```
+
+or build an optimized bin and re-use with:
+```shell
+cargo build -p revme --profile release
+```
 
 ## State Tests

 is ignored so it won't be checked into git.*
 
 [et]: https://github.com/ethereum/tests
+
+## Evm
+
+`evm` executes any given bytecode and returns the result, for example:
+
+```shell
+cargo run -p revme evm 60FF60005261000F600020
+```
+
+### Benchmarks
+
+Adding the `--bench` flag will run the benchmarks. It is important to run all the benchmarks in the release mode, as the results can be misleading in the debug mode.
+
+Example of running the benchmarks:
+```shell
+cargo run -p revme --profile release evm 60FF60005261000F600020 --bench
+```
+
+The detailed reports and comparisons can be found in the `target/criterion` directory.
