-valueEncodings will be applied to individual blocks, even if you append batches. If you want to control encoding at the batch-level, you can use the `encodeBatch` option, which is a function that takes a batch and returns a binary-encoded batch. If you provide a custom valueEncoding, it will not be applied prior to `encodeBatch`.

 The user may provide a custom encryption module as `opts.encryption`, which should satisfy the [HypercoreEncryption](https://github.com/holepunchto/hypercore-encryption) interface.
 
+##### User Data
+
+User Data is a key-value store that is persisted locally and is not replicated with the Hypercore. This is useful as a quick store for data only used by the current peer. For example, `autobase` uses User Data to store information such as encryption keys and connections between a peer's local writer and the Autobase's bootstrap core.
+
+Keys are always strings and values can be strings or buffers.
+
+See [`core.setUserData(key, value)`](#await-coresetuserdatakey-value) and [`core.getUserData(key)`](#const-value--await-coregetuserdatakey) for updating User Data.

 #### `const { length, byteLength } = await core.append(block)`
 
 Append a block of data (or an array of blocks) to the core.
