+# RustChain Notification Bot
+
+Real-time monitoring bot for RustChain — get alerts on balance changes and epoch transitions via Telegram or Discord.
+
+## Features
+
+- 🔍 **Balance Monitoring** — track wallet balance changes with configurable thresholds
+- 🔄 **Epoch Tracking** — get notified on epoch transitions
+- 📢 **Multi-channel** — Telegram bot + Discord webhook support
+- ⚙️ **Configurable Rules** — set thresholds, enable/disable channels per rule
+- 🔁 **Polling** — configurable poll interval with graceful error handling
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Copy and edit config
+cp config.example.json config.json
+# Edit config.json with your API URL, wallet addresses, and bot tokens
+
+# Run
+python bot.py -c config.json
+
+# One-shot mode (single check, for testing)
+python bot.py -c config.json --once
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Copy `config.example.json` to `config.json` and fill in:
+
+| Field | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `api.base_url` | RustChain REST API base URL |
+| `api.timeout` | Request timeout in seconds (default: 15) |
+| `poll_interval_seconds` | Seconds between check cycles (default: 30) |
+| `wallets` | List of wallet addresses to monitor |
+| `channels.telegram` | Telegram bot token + chat ID |
+| `channels.discord` | Discord webhook URL |
+| `rules.balance_change.threshold` | Minimum balance delta to trigger notification (0 = any change) |
+
+## Notification Rules
+
+### Balance Change
+Triggers when a wallet's balance changes by at least the configured threshold. Set `threshold: 0` to alert on any change.
+
+### Epoch Change
+Triggers on every epoch transition with full epoch metadata.
+
+### Error Alerts
+Sends error notifications when API calls fail. Disable with `rules.errors.enabled: false`.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+bot.py
+├── RustChainClient   — API wrapper (balance, epoch, network info)
+├── Notifier          — Rule engine + multi-channel dispatch
+├── run_monitor()     — Main polling loop with state tracking
+└── CLI               — argparse entry point
+```

+## General
+
+### Q1: What is RustChain?
+RustChain is a high-performance, Layer-1 blockchain built in Rust. It combines the safety guarantees of Rust's type system with a novel consensus mechanism to deliver fast, secure, and scalable decentralized applications.
+
+### Q2: Why is it written in Rust?
+Rust provides memory safety without garbage collection, making it ideal for blockchain infrastructure where performance and security are critical. Rust's zero-cost abstractions and fearless concurrency enable RustChain to achieve high throughput without compromising safety.
+
+### Q3: How fast is RustChain?
+RustChain achieves sub-second finality with a theoretical throughput of 10,000+ TPS (transactions per second) on the current testnet. Mainnet performance targets are continuously improving with each upgrade.
+
+### Q4: Is RustChain EVM-compatible?
+Yes, RustChain supports an EVM compatibility layer that allows developers to deploy Solidity smart contracts with minimal changes. However, native Rust contracts are recommended for optimal performance.
+
+### Q5: What consensus mechanism does RustChain use?
+RustChain uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus with a BFT (Byzantine Fault Tolerant) finality gadget, providing both fast block production and deterministic finality.
+
+### Q6: How is RustChain different from other blockchains?
+RustChain's key differentiators are:
+- Written entirely in Rust for maximum safety and performance
+- Native smart contract support in Rust (not just EVM)
+- Sub-second finality
+- Low transaction fees ($0.001 average)
+- Built-in cross-chain bridge support
+
+### Q7: Is RustChain open source?
+Yes, RustChain is fully open source under the MIT/Apache 2.0 dual license. All core components are available on GitHub.
+
+### Q8: Where can I find the RustChain whitepaper?
+The whitepaper is available at [docs.rustchain.io/whitepaper](https://docs.rustchain.io/whitepaper) and the technical specification is in the GitHub repository under `/docs/specs/`.
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Q9: How do I set up a RustChain node?
+```bash
+# Install RustChain CLI
+curl -fsSL https://get.rustchain.io | bash
+
+# Initialize a new node
+rustchain-node init --network mainnet
+
+# Start the node
+rustchain-node start
+```
+See the [Node Setup Guide](./node-setup.md) for detailed instructions.
+
+### Q10: What are the minimum system requirements?
+- **CPU:** 4 cores
+- **RAM:** 8 GB (16 GB recommended)
+- **Storage:** 500 GB SSD (NVMe preferred)
+- **Network:** 100 Mbps stable connection
+- **OS:** Ubuntu 20.04+ or macOS 12+
+
+### Q11: How do I get test tokens?
+Use the faucet:
+```bash
+rustchain faucet --address rc1qyour_address_here
+```
+Or visit [faucet.rustchain.io](https://faucet.rustchain.io).
+
+### Q12: Which programming languages can I use?
+- **Native contracts:** Rust (recommended)
+- **EVM contracts:** Solidity, Vyper
+- **SDKs:** Rust, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go
+- **CLI:** Shell scripting via `rustchain` CLI
+
+### Q13: Is there a testnet I can use?
+Yes. Connect to testnet:
+```bash
+rustchain config set network testnet
+rustchain config set rpc https://rpc.testnet.rustchain.io
+```
+
+---
+
+## Wallet & Accounts
+
+### Q14: How do I create a wallet?
+```bash
+# CLI wallet
+rustchain-wallet create --name my-wallet
+
+# Or use the SDK
+```
+```rust
+use rustchain_sdk::wallet::Wallet;
+let wallet = Wallet::generate();
+println!("Address: {}", wallet.address());
+```
+
+### Q15: What is the address format?
+RustChain uses Bech32-encoded addresses starting with `rc1`. Example:
+```
+rc1qalphanumericaddress40characterslongexample
+```
+
+### Q16: Can I import an Ethereum wallet?
+Yes, via private key import:
+```bash
+rustchain-wallet import --private-key 0x... --name imported-wallet
+```
+Note: The address will be different as RustChain uses its own derivation path.
+
+### Q17: How do I back up my wallet?
+Your seed phrase (12 or 24 words) is the backup. Store it:
+- On metal backup plates (fire/water resistant)
+- In multiple secure physical locations
+- **Never** digitally (no screenshots, photos, or cloud storage)
+
+### Q18: What happens if I lose my seed phrase?
+Without the seed phrase, access to your funds is permanently lost. There is no recovery mechanism 鈥?this is by design. Always maintain secure backups.
+
+### Q19: Can I have multiple wallets?
+Yes. Create as many as needed:
+```bash
+rustchain-wallet create --name wallet-1
+rustchain-wallet create --name wallet-2
+rustchain-wallet list
+```
+
+### Q20: How do I check my balance?
+```bash
+rustchain-wallet balance --name my-wallet
+# Or
+rustchain query balance rc1qyour_address
+```
+
+---
+
+## Transactions
+
+### Q21: How long does a transaction take to confirm?
+RustChain achieves sub-second finality. Most transactions are confirmed within 1-2 seconds under normal network conditions.
+
+### Q22: What are the transaction fees?
+Average transaction fee is approximately $0.001. Fees vary based on:
+- Transaction complexity
+- Network congestion
+- Gas price settings
+
+### Q23: How do I send tokens?
+```bash
+rustchain send --to rc1qrecipient --amount 100 --from my-wallet
+```
+Or programmatically:
+```rust
+let tx = client.send_transaction(SendParams {
+    from: wallet.address(),
+    to: "rc1q...".parse()?,
+    amount: 100_000_000, // in smallest unit
+    gas_price: None,     // auto
+}).await?;
+```
+
+### Q24: Can I cancel a pending transaction?
+Yes, if it hasn't been finalized yet:
+```bash
+rustchain tx cancel --hash 0x... --from my-wallet
+```
+This replaces the transaction with a zero-value transfer to yourself.
+
+### Q25: What is gas and how does it work?
+Gas measures computational work. Each transaction consumes gas based on its complexity. Total fee = gas_used 脳 gas_price. You can set a max gas limit to cap spending.
+
+### Q26: Why is my transaction pending?
+Common reasons:
+- Gas price too low (increase with `--gas-price`)
+- Network congestion
+- Invalid nonce (use `--nonce latest`)
+- Transaction size exceeds block limit
+
+### Q27: How do I track a transaction?
+```bash
+rustchain tx status 0xTransactionHash
+```
+Or use the block explorer at [explorer.rustchain.io](https://explorer.rustchain.io).
+
+---
+
+## Smart Contracts
+
+### Q28: How do I deploy a smart contract?
+```bash
+# Compile
+rustchain compile ./my-contract/
+
+# Deploy
+rustchain deploy ./my-contract/ --from my-wallet --network mainnet
+```
+
+### Q29: What languages can I write contracts in?
+- **Rust** (native, recommended) 鈥?best performance and safety
+- **Solidity** (via EVM compatibility layer)
+- **Vyper** (via EVM compatibility layer)
+
+### Q30: How much does it cost to deploy a contract?
+Deployment costs depend on contract size and complexity. Simple contracts cost ~$0.10-1.00, while complex contracts with large bytecode can cost more.
+
+### Q31: Can I upgrade a deployed contract?
+Yes, using the proxy pattern:
+```rust
+#[contract(proxy = "my_proxy")]
+struct UpgradeableToken {
+    // State stored in proxy
+}
+```
+Direct contract upgrades are also supported for native Rust contracts with the `#[upgradeable]` attribute.
+
+### Q32: How do I interact with a deployed contract?
+```bash
+# CLI
+rustchain call --contract rc1q... --function balance_of --args '["rc1quser"]'
+
+# SDK
+```
+```rust
+let result: u64 = client.call_contract(
+    "rc1qcontract_address",
+    "balance_of",
+    &[user_address.to_param()]
+).await?;
+```
+
+### Q33: How do I view contract events?
+```bash
+rustchain events --contract rc1q... --from-block 100000
+```
+Or via WebSocket subscription:
+```rust
+let mut events = client.subscribe_events("rc1qcontract").await?;
+while let Some(event) = events.next().await {
+    println!("{:?}", event);
+}
+```
+
+### Q34: Are there contract size limits?
+Yes:
+- **Native Rust contracts:** 2 MB compiled
+- **EVM contracts:** 24 KB (same as Ethereum)
+- **Contract state:** Unlimited (charged per byte)
+
+---
+
+## Staking & Validation
+
+### Q35: How do I become a validator?
+1. Stake minimum 10,000 RTC tokens
+2. Run a validator node
+3. Register on-chain:
+```bash
+rustchain staking register-validator --name "My Validator" --from my-wallet
+```
+
+### Q36: What is the minimum staking amount?
+- **Validator:** 10,000 RTC (self-stake)
+- **Delegator:** 1 RTC (no minimum for delegation)
+
+### Q37: What are the staking rewards?
+Current annual percentage yield (APY) ranges from 8-15% depending on:
+- Total network stake
+- Validator performance
+- Commission rate set by validator
+
+### Q38: How do I delegate my stake?
+```bash
+rustchain staking delegate --validator rc1qvalidator --amount 1000 --from my-wallet
+```
+
+### Q39: Can I unstake at any time?
+Yes, but there's an unbonding period of 21 days. During unbonding:
+- Tokens are locked and cannot be used
+- You stop earning rewards
+- You can still be slashed if the validator misbehaves during this period
+
+### Q40: What is slashing?
+Slashing is a penalty mechanism for validators who misbehave (double signing, downtime). Penalties range from 0.1% to 100% of staked tokens depending on severity.
+
+### Q41: How do I choose a good validator?
+Consider:
+- **Uptime:** > 99.9%
+- **Commission rate:** 5-15% is typical
+- **Total stake:** Not too concentrated (decentralization)
+- **Track record:** History of reliable validation
+- **Communication:** Active in governance and community
+
+---
+
+## Security
+
+### Q42: Has RustChain been audited?
+Yes, by multiple firms including Trail of Bits, Certik, and independent community audits. Audit reports are available at [github.com/rustchain/audits](https://github.com/rustchain/audits).
+
+### Q43: Is there a bug bounty program?
+Yes. Rewards range from $100 to $100,000 depending on severity. Details at [github.com/rustchain/bounty-program](https://github.com/rustchain/bounty-program).
+
+### Q44: How do I report a security vulnerability?
+Email security@rustchain.io with:
+- Description of the vulnerability
+- Steps to reproduce
+- Potential impact
+- Suggested fix (if available)
+
+**Do not** publicly disclose vulnerabilities before the team has addressed them.
+
+### Q45: Are smart contracts safe on RustChain?
+Rust's type system provides compile-time safety guarantees that significantly reduce common vulnerabilities. However, always:
+- Get contracts professionally audited
+- Use well-tested libraries
+- Implement emergency pause mechanisms
+- Start with small deployments
+
+---
+
+## Development
+
+### Q46: How do I set up the development environment?
+```bash
+# Install Rust
+curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
+
+# Install RustChain SDK
+cargo install rustchain-sdk
+
+# Create a new project
+rustchain project create my-dapp
+cd my-dapp
+```
+
+### Q47: Are there SDKs available?
+Yes:
+- **Rust:** `rustchain-sdk` (native, full-featured)
+- **Python:** `pip install rustchain`
+- **JavaScript/TypeScript:** `npm install @rustchain/sdk`
+- **Go:** `go get github.com/rustchain/go-sdk`
+
+### Q48: How do I write tests for my contract?
+```rust
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod tests {
+    use super::*;
+    
+    #[test]
+    fn test_transfer() {
+        let mut contract = TokenContract::new();
+        contract.mint(alice(), 1000).unwrap();
+        contract.transfer(alice(), bob(), 500).unwrap();
+        assert_eq!(contract.balance_of(alice()), 500);
+        assert_eq!(contract.balance_of(bob()), 500);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Q49: Is there a block explorer?
+Yes: [explorer.rustchain.io](https://explorer.rustchain.io) for mainnet, [testnet.explorer.rustchain.io](https://testnet.explorer.rustchain.io) for testnet.
+
+### Q50: Where can I find documentation?
+- Official docs: [docs.rustchain.io](https://docs.rustchain.io)
+- API reference: [api-docs.rustchain.io](https://api-docs.rustchain.io)
+- GitHub: [github.com/rustchain](https://github.com/rustchain)
+- Discord community: [discord.gg/rustchain](https://discord.gg/rustchain)
+
+---
+
+## Network & Infrastructure
+
+### Q51: How many validators does RustChain have?
+The active validator set is currently 100 validators, expandable through governance proposals.
+
+### Q52: What is the block time?
+RustChain produces blocks every ~1 second with sub-second finality.
+
+### Q53: Does RustChain support cross-chain bridges?
+Yes. Built-in bridges to:
+- Ethereum (bi-directional)
+- Bitcoin (one-way peg)
+- Solana (bi-directional)
+- Cosmos ecosystem (via IBC)
+
+### Q54: Can I run an RPC node?
+Yes, and it's encouraged for decentralization:
+```bash
+rustchain-node start --mode rpc --rpc-port 8545
+```
+
+### Q55: What is the current chain size?
+As of the latest update, the full chain data is approximately 200 GB, growing at ~2 GB per week. Pruned nodes require ~50 GB.
+
+---
+
+## Tokenomics
+
+### Q56: What is the total supply of RTC?
+Total supply: 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) RTC.
+- 30% 鈥?Community & Ecosystem
+- 25% 鈥?Staking Rewards
+- 20% 鈥?Team & Advisors (4-year vesting)
+- 15% 鈥?Treasury & Development
+- 10% 鈥?Initial Sale
+
+### Q57: Is RTC inflationary?
+There is a controlled inflation of ~3% annually for staking rewards, which decreases over time according to the emission schedule.
+
+### Q58: Where can I buy RTC?
+RTC is available on major exchanges. Check [rustchain.io/exchanges](https://rustchain.io/exchanges) for the current list.
+
+### Q59: What is the governance process?
+- **Phase 1:** Discussion (7 days) 鈥?Forum post
+- **Phase 2:** Vote (5 days) 鈥?On-chain voting
+- **Phase 3:** Execution (2 days) 鈥?Automatic if passed
+
+Token holders with 鈮?100 RTC can vote. Quorum requirement: 30% of total stake.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Q60: My node won't sync. What should I do?
+1. Check network connectivity: `rustchain-node ping`
+2. Verify peer count: `rustchain-node peers`
+3. Try a snapshot sync: `rustchain-node sync --mode snapshot`
+4. Check disk space: full sync requires 200+ GB
+5. Join [Discord #node-support](https://discord.gg/rustchain) for help
+
+### Q61: I'm getting "insufficient funds" but I have tokens.
+Check:
+- Are you on the right network? (mainnet vs testnet)
+- Do you have enough for gas fees?
+- Is there a pending transaction using those funds?
+
+### Q62: My transaction keeps failing. Why?
+Common causes:
+- **Out of gas:** Increase gas limit
+- **Invalid nonce:** Use `rustchain tx nonce <address>` to check
+- **Contract revert:** Check contract logic and parameters
+- **Network congestion:** Wait or increase gas price
+
+### Q63: How do I reset my local node?
+```bash
+# Stop the node
+rustchain-node stop
+
+# Reset to genesis (WARNING: deletes all local chain data)
+rustchain-node reset --dangerous
+
+# Restart
+rustchain-node start
+```
+
+### Q64: The SDK throws "connection refused." What's wrong?
+- Verify the RPC endpoint is correct and accessible
+- Check if the node is running: `rustchain-node status`
+- Try a public endpoint: `https://rpc.rustchain.io`
+- Check firewall rules
+
+### Q65: Where can I get help?
+- **Documentation:** [docs.rustchain.io](https://docs.rustchain.io)
+- **Discord:** [discord.gg/rustchain](https://discord.gg/rustchain)
+- **GitHub Issues:** [github.com/rustchain/rustchain/issues](https://github.com/rustchain/rustchain/issues)

-# RustChain Notification Bot
-
-Real-time monitoring bot for RustChain — get alerts on balance changes and epoch transitions via Telegram or Discord.
-
-## Features
-
-- 🔍 **Balance Monitoring** — track wallet balance changes with configurable thresholds
-- 🔄 **Epoch Tracking** — get notified on epoch transitions
-- 📢 **Multi-channel** — Telegram bot + Discord webhook support
-- ⚙️ **Configurable Rules** — set thresholds, enable/disable channels per rule
-- 🔁 **Polling** — configurable poll interval with graceful error handling
-
-## Quick Start
-
-```bash
-# Install dependencies
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-
-# Copy and edit config
-cp config.example.json config.json
-# Edit config.json with your API URL, wallet addresses, and bot tokens
-
-# Run
-python bot.py -c config.json
-
-# One-shot mode (single check, for testing)
-python bot.py -c config.json --once
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-Copy `config.example.json` to `config.json` and fill in:
-
-| Field | Description |
-|---|---|
-| `api.base_url` | RustChain REST API base URL |
-| `api.timeout` | Request timeout in seconds (default: 15) |
-| `poll_interval_seconds` | Seconds between check cycles (default: 30) |
-| `wallets` | List of wallet addresses to monitor |
-| `channels.telegram` | Telegram bot token + chat ID |
-| `channels.discord` | Discord webhook URL |
-| `rules.balance_change.threshold` | Minimum balance delta to trigger notification (0 = any change) |
-
-## Notification Rules
-
-### Balance Change
-Triggers when a wallet's balance changes by at least the configured threshold. Set `threshold: 0` to alert on any change.
-
-### Epoch Change
-Triggers on every epoch transition with full epoch metadata.
-
-### Error Alerts
-Sends error notifications when API calls fail. Disable with `rules.errors.enabled: false`.
-
-## Architecture
-
-```
-bot.py
-├── RustChainClient   — API wrapper (balance, epoch, network info)
-├── Notifier          — Rule engine + multi-channel dispatch
