+## Home
+### Welcome to the rechain_coin Wiki!
+The **rechain_coin** repository is a cryptocurrency project developed using **C**, **C++**, **Qt**, and **Python**. It implements core blockchain functionality, including decentralized transactions, wallet management, and secure peer-to-peer communication. This Wiki provides guidance for setting up, using, and contributing to the project.
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+### Prerequisites
+To set up and build the project, ensure you have the following installed:
+1. **C++ Compiler**: GCC (Linux), Clang (macOS), or MSVC (Windows).
+2. **Qt Framework**: Latest version for GUI development.
+3. **Python**: Version 3.8 or above for scripting and API utilities.
+4. **CMake**: For building the project.
+5. **OpenSSL**: For secure communication.
+
+### Installation
+1. Clone the repository:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/sorydima/rechain_coin.git
+   cd rechain_coin
+   ```
+
+2. Install dependencies:
+   - On Debian/Ubuntu:
+     ```bash
+     sudo apt-get install build-essential qt5-default libssl-dev cmake python3
+     ```
+   - On macOS:
+     ```bash
+     brew install qt openssl cmake python
+     ```
+   - On Windows:
+     Use **vcpkg** or manually download Qt and OpenSSL.
+
+3. Build the project:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir build && cd build
+   cmake ..

+
+## Architecture
+### System Overview
+The project follows a modular architecture:
+
+1. **Core Blockchain Logic**:
+   Written in **C/C++**, responsible for ledger management, transaction validation, and consensus.
+
+2. **Qt GUI**:
+   User interface for wallet operations and blockchain interactions.
+
+3. **Python Scripts**:
+   Used for automation and API integration.
+
+4. **Networking Module**:
+   Handles peer discovery, message routing, and encryption via OpenSSL.
+

+
+## Usage Guide
+### Running the GUI Application
+1. Launch the compiled executable:
+   ```bash
+   ./rechain_coin
+   ```
+
+2. Features available in the GUI:
+   - **Create Wallet**: Generate a new wallet.
+   - **Send Coins**: Initiate transactions.
+   - **Transaction History**: View past transactions.
+
+### Using the Python API
+1. Import the Python bindings:
+   ```python
+   from rechain_coin import BlockchainAPI
+   api = BlockchainAPI()
+   ```
+2. Example: Create a new wallet:
+   ```python
+   wallet = api.create_wallet("password123")
+   print(f"Wallet Address: {wallet['address']}")
+   ```
+
+3. Example: Send coins:
+   ```python
+   tx = api.send_coins(sender="wallet_address", recipient="recipient_address", amount=10.0)
+   print(f"Transaction ID: {tx['id']}")
+   ```
