+# RustChain Python SDK
+
+Official Python client for the [RustChain](https://github.com/Scottcjn/Rustchain) Proof-of-Antiquity network.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install rustchain-sdk
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```python
+from rustchain_sdk import RustChainClient
+
+# Connect to the live node
+client = RustChainClient("https://50.28.86.131", verify_ssl=False)
+
+# Check health
+status = client.health()
+print(f"Node Version: {status.version}")
+
+# Get miner info
+miners = client.miners()
+for m in miners:
+    print(f"Miner: {m.miner} | Multiplier: {m.antiquity_multiplier}")
+
+# Check balance
+balance = client.balance("your_miner_id")
+print(f"Balance: {balance.amount_rtc} RTC")
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- **Node Health**: Check version and uptime.
+- **Epoch Info**: Track slots and reward pots.
+- **Miner List**: Discover active hardware on the network.
+- **Wallet Management**: Query balances and perform signed transfers.
+- **Attestation**: Submit hardware fingerprints for enrollment.
