+# RustChain Prometheus Exporter
+
+Prometheus exporter for monitoring RustChain blockchain nodes.
+
+## Features
+
+- Scrapes RustChain node RPC endpoints periodically
+- Exposes node health, epoch, miner counts, and per-miner antiquity multipliers
+- Configurable scrape interval and target node URL
+- Built-in `/health` endpoint for liveness probes
+
+## Metrics
+
+| Metric | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `rustchain_node_up` | gauge | 1 if node is reachable, 0 otherwise |
+| `rustchain_node_version_info` | info | Node version string |
+| `rustchain_epoch` | gauge | Current epoch number |
+| `rustchain_miners_total` | gauge | Total registered miners |
+| `rustchain_miners_active` | gauge | Currently active miners |
+| `rustchain_miner_antiquity_multiplier` | gauge | Per-miner antiquity reward multiplier (label: `miner`) |
+| `rustchain_last_scrape_timestamp` | gauge | Unix timestamp of last successful scrape |
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Start with defaults (scrapes localhost:8080, exports on port 9200)
+python rustchain_exporter.py
+
+# Custom configuration
+RUSTCHAIN_NODE_URL=http://10.0.0.5:8080 \
+PROMETHEUS_EXPORTER_PORT=9200 \
+SCRAPE_INTERVAL=30 \
+python rustchain_exporter.py
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Environment Variable | Default | Description |
+|---------------------|---------|-------------|
+| `RUSTCHAIN_NODE_URL` | `http://localhost:8080` | RustChain node base URL |
+| `PROMETHEUS_EXPORTER_HOST` | `0.0.0.0` | Exporter listen address |
+| `PROMETHEUS_EXPORTER_PORT` | `9200` | Exporter listen port |
+| `SCRAPE_INTERVAL` | `15` | Scrape interval in seconds |
+
+## Prometheus Configuration
+
+```yaml
+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: rustchain
+    static_configs:
+      - targets:
+          - localhost:9200
+    scrape_interval: 15s
+```
+
+## Docker
+
+```bash
+docker build -t rustchain-exporter .
+docker run -e RUSTCHAIN_NODE_URL=http://node:8080 -p 9200:9200 rustchain-exporter
+```
