📡 API Endpoints Used

The widget fetches data from these RustChain API endpoints:

1. Health Check - https://50.28.86.131/health

   • Network status (healthy/degraded)

2. Epoch Info - https://50.28.86.131/epoch

   • Current epoch number
   • Total RTC distributed (if available)

3. Active Miners - https://50.28.86.131/api/miners

   • Count of active miners
   • Miner details

📊 Displayed Metrics

Metric	Source	Description
Current Epoch	/epoch	Current epoch number
Active Miners	/api/miners	Number of active miners
Network Status	/health	Healthy / Degraded / Offline
Total RTC Distributed	/epoch	Cumulative RTC distributed (if available)

🎨 Customization

Change Colors

Edit the CSS variables in the <style> section:

/* Primary color (orange) */
color: #ff6b35;

/* Background gradient */
background: linear-gradient(135deg, #1a1a2e 0%, #16213e 100%);

/* Status colors */
.status-online { color: #4cd137; }     /* Green */
.status-degraded { color: #ffb800; }   /* Yellow */
.status-offline { color: #ff4757; }    /* Red */

Adjust Refresh Interval

Change the REFRESH_INTERVAL constant in JavaScript:

const REFRESH_INTERVAL = 30000; // 30 seconds instead of 60

Customize Widget Size

Modify the .rustchain-widget CSS:

.rustchain-widget {
    max-width: 500px;  /* Make wider */
    padding: 30px;     /* More padding */
}

🔧 JavaScript API

Control the widget programmatically:

// Manual refresh
window.RustChainWidget.refresh();

// Start auto-refresh (60s interval)
window.RustChainWidget.startAutoRefresh();

// Stop auto-refresh
window.RustChainWidget.stopAutoRefresh();

🌐 CORS Handling

The RustChain API endpoints use self-signed SSL certificates and have CORS enabled.

If you encounter CORS issues when embedding:

1. Host on the same domain as your site
2. Use a CORS proxy (not recommended for production)
3. Run via HTTPS (mixed content blocking)

The widget includes error handling for network failures and will retry on the next refresh cycle.

📱 Mobile Responsive

The widget automatically adapts to mobile screens:

• Smaller font sizes on <480px screens
• Maintains readability and touch targets
• Gracefully handles narrow viewports

♿ Accessibility

• Semantic HTML structure
• High contrast text
• Color is not the only indicator (icons + text for status)
• Keyboard navigation support

🎭 Animations

The widget includes several smooth animations:

1. Rotating Logo - 8-second rotation cycle
2. Pulsing Background - 4-second fade in/out
3. Blinking Miner Dots - 2-second blink cycle
4. Hover Effects - Link underline on hover

Animations are CSS-based (no JavaScript) for performance.
