+# RustChain Postman Collection Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This Postman Collection provides a complete set of API requests for testing and interacting with the RustChain blockchain platform. The collection is generated from the official OpenAPI 3.0 specification and includes pre-configured tests, environment variables, and authentication setup.
+
+## Installation
+
+### Step 1: Import the Collection
+
+1. Open Postman
+2. Click **Import** (top left)
+3. Select `RustChain_Postman_Collection.json`
+4. Click **Import**
+
+### Step 2: Configure Environment Variables
+
+The collection uses the following variables:
+
+| Variable | Default Value | Description |
+|----------|--------------|-------------|
+| `base_url` | `https://api.rustchain.org/v1` | Production API endpoint |
+| `testnet_url` | `https://testnet-api.rustchain.org/v1` | Testnet API endpoint |
+| `api_key` | (empty) | Your API key for authenticated requests |
+| `wallet_address` | (empty) | Wallet address for balance/transaction queries |
+| `block_number` | `1` | Block number for block queries |
+| `limit` | `20` | Pagination limit for list endpoints |
+| `offset` | `0` | Pagination offset for list endpoints |
+
+### Step 3: Set Up Authentication
+
+The collection supports two authentication methods:
+
+#### API Key Authentication (Default)
+- Header: `X-API-Key: {{api_key}}`
+- Set your API key in the `api_key` environment variable
+
+#### Bearer Token Authentication
+- Header: `Authorization: Bearer <JWT_TOKEN>`
+- Replace the auth type in specific requests as needed
+
+## Collection Structure
+
+### 📁 System
+System health and status endpoints.
+
+- **Health Check** - Verify node health and version
+  - Method: `GET /health`
+  - Response: Status, version, timestamp
+
+### 📁 Blockchain
+Blockchain data endpoints.
+
+- **Get Current Epoch** - Retrieve current epoch information
+  - Method: `GET /epoch`
+  - Response: Epoch number, block height, timestamp
+
+- **Get Block by Number** - Fetch specific block details
+  - Method: `GET /block/{block_number}`
+  - Parameters: `block_number` (path)
+  - Response: Block hash, transactions, miner info
+
+### 📁 Mining
+Mining-related endpoints.
+
+- **List Miners** - Get active miners on the network
+  - Method: `GET /api/miners`
+  - Parameters: `limit`, `offset` (query)
+  - Response: Array of miners with address, hashrate, blocks mined
+
+### 📁 Wallet
+Wallet and transaction endpoints.
+
+- **Get Wallet Balance** - Check wallet balance
+  - Method: `GET /wallet/balance`
+  - Parameters: `address` (query, required)
+  - Response: Balance in RTC and wei
+
+- **List Transactions** - Get transaction history
+  - Method: `GET /transactions`
+  - Parameters: `address` (required), `limit` (query)
+  - Response: Array of transactions with hash, from, to, value, timestamp
+
+### 📁 Attestation
+Attestation-related endpoints.
+
+- **Submit Attestation** - Submit new attestation to network
+  - Method: `POST /attest/submit`
+  - Body: JSON with `data` and `signature`
+  - Response: Transaction hash and status
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Example 1: Check Node Health
+
+```bash
+curl -X GET "https://api.rustchain.org/v1/health"
+```
+
+Expected Response:
+```json
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "timestamp": 1640000000
+}
+```
+
+### Example 2: Get Wallet Balance
+
+1. Set `wallet_address` variable to your wallet address
+2. Send request to **Get Wallet Balance**
+3. View balance in RTC and wei
+
+### Example 3: Submit Attestation
+
+1. Prepare your attestation data and signature
+2. Update the request body with your data:
+```json
+{
+  "data": {
+    "type": "your_attestation_type",
+    "payload": "your_payload"
+  },
+  "signature": "0x_your_signature"
+}
+```
+3. Send POST request
+4. Receive transaction hash
+
+## Automated Tests
+
+Each request includes built-in test scripts that validate:
+- ✅ HTTP status code (200)
+- ✅ Required response fields exist
+- ✅ Data type correctness
+- ✅ Expected value ranges
+
+### Running Tests
+
+1. Select the collection or folder
+2. Click **Runner** (bottom left)
+3. Configure iterations and delay
+4. Click **Run**
+
+### Test Results
+
+Tests will show:
+- ✅ Passed tests (green)
+- ❌ Failed tests (red)
+- ⏱️ Response times
+- 📊 Response sizes
+
+## Environment Switching
+
+### Production
+```json
+{
+  "base_url": "https://api.rustchain.org/v1"
+}
+```
+
+### Testnet
+```json
+{
+  "base_url": "https://testnet-api.rustchain.org/v1"
+}
+```
+
+To switch environments:
+1. Click environment selector (top right)
+2. Choose **Production** or **Testnet**
+3. Variables update automatically
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: 401 Unauthorized
+**Solution:** Set your API key in the `api_key` variable
+
+### Issue: 404 Not Found
+**Solution:** 
+- Verify `base_url` is correct
+- Check that the endpoint path matches the API version
+
+### Issue: 400 Bad Request
+**Solution:**
+- Verify required parameters are set
+- Check request body JSON syntax
+- Ensure wallet addresses are valid format
+
+### Issue: Tests Failing
+**Solution:**
+- Check response structure matches expected schema
+- Verify API endpoint is returning valid JSON
+- Review test script for custom validation logic
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Collection Variables
+
+Use collection variables for dynamic values:
+```javascript
+// In pre-request script
+pm.collectionVariables.set("last_block", pm.response.json().number);
+```
+
+### Chaining Requests
+
+Use response data in subsequent requests:
+```javascript
+// In test script
+var jsonData = pm.response.json();
+pm.collectionVariables.set("tx_hash", jsonData.tx_hash);
+```
+
+### Custom Test Scripts
+
+Add custom validations in the **Tests** tab:
+```javascript
+pm.test("Balance is positive", function () {
+    var jsonData = pm.response.json();
+    pm.expect(parseFloat(jsonData.balance)).to.be.above(0);
+});
+```
