+
+# Multi-Node Blockchain Deployment Workflow
+
+This workflow sets up a two-node AITBC blockchain network (aitbc1 as genesis authority, aitbc as follower node), creates wallets, and demonstrates cross-node transactions.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- SSH access to both nodes (aitbc1 and aitbc)
+- Both nodes have the AITBC repository cloned
+- Redis available for cross-node gossip
+- Python venv at `/opt/aitbc/venv`
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+- `/opt/aitbc/venv` - Central Python virtual environment
+- `/opt/aitbc/requirements.txt` - Python dependencies
+- `/var/lib/aitbc/data` - Blockchain database files
+- `/var/lib/aitbc/keystore` - Wallet credentials
+- `/etc/aitbc/` - Configuration files
+- `/var/log/aitbc/` - Service logs
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Prepare aitbc1 (Genesis Authority Node)
+
+```bash
+# SSH to aitbc1
+ssh aitbc1
+
+# Pull latest code
+cd /opt/aitbc
+git pull origin main
+
+# Install/update dependencies
+/opt/aitbc/venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Create required directories
+mkdir -p /var/lib/aitbc/data /var/lib/aitbc/keystore /etc/aitbc /var/log/aitbc
+
+# Set up environment configuration
+cat > /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env << 'EOF'
+# Blockchain Node Configuration (aitbc1 - genesis authority)
+chain_id=ait-mainnet
+supported_chains=ait-mainnet
+rpc_bind_host=0.0.0.0
+rpc_bind_port=8006
+p2p_bind_host=0.0.0.0
+p2p_bind_port=7070
+proposer_id=aitbc1genesis
+enable_block_production=true
+block_time_seconds=10
+keystore_path=/var/lib/aitbc/keystore
+keystore_password_file=/var/lib/aitbc/keystore/.password
+gossip_backend=broadcast
+gossip_broadcast_url=redis://localhost:6379
+db_path=/var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/chain.db
+mint_per_unit=0
+coordinator_ratio=0.05
+EOF
+
+# Create genesis block with wallets
+cd /opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node
+/opt/aitbc/venv/bin/python scripts/setup_production.py \
+  --base-dir /opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node \
+  --chain-id ait-mainnet \
+  --total-supply 1000000000
+
+# Copy genesis and allocations to standard location
+mkdir -p /var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet
+cp data/ait-mainnet/genesis.json /var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/
+cp data/ait-mainnet/allocations.json /var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/
+cp keystore/* /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/
+
+# Update systemd services to use new paths
+sed -i 's|EnvironmentFile=/opt/aitbc/.env|EnvironmentFile=/etc/aitbc/blockchain.env|g' /opt/aitbc/systemd/aitbc-blockchain-*.service
+sed -i 's|WorkingDirectory=/opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node|WorkingDirectory=/opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node|g' /opt/aitbc/systemd/aitbc-blockchain-*.service
+sed -i 's|ExecStart=/opt/aitbc/venv/bin/python|ExecStart=/opt/aitbc/venv/bin/python|g' /opt/aitbc/systemd/aitbc-blockchain-*.service
+
+# Enable and start blockchain services
+systemctl daemon-reload
+systemctl enable aitbc-blockchain-node aitbc-blockchain-rpc
+systemctl start aitbc-blockchain-node aitbc-blockchain-rpc
+
+# Monitor startup
+journalctl -f -u aitbc-blockchain-node -u aitbc-blockchain-rpc
+```
+
+### 2. Verify aitbc1 Genesis State
+
+```bash
+# Check blockchain state
+curl -s http://localhost:8006/rpc/head | jq .
+curl -s http://localhost:8006/rpc/info | jq .
+curl -s http://localhost:8006/rpc/supply | jq .
+
+# Check genesis wallet balance
+GENESIS_ADDR=$(cat /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/aitbc1genesis.json | jq -r '.address')
+curl -s "http://localhost:8006/rpc/getBalance/$GENESIS_ADDR" | jq .
+```
+
+### 3. Prepare aitbc (Follower Node)
+
+```bash
+# SSH to aitbc
+ssh aitbc
+
+# Pull latest code
+cd /opt/aitbc
+git pull origin main
+
+# Install/update dependencies
+/opt/aitbc/venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Create required directories
+mkdir -p /var/lib/aitbc/data /var/lib/aitbc/keystore /etc/aitbc /var/log/aitbc
+
+# Set up follower configuration
+cat > /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env << 'EOF'
+# Blockchain Node Configuration (aitbc - follower node)
+chain_id=ait-mainnet
+supported_chains=ait-mainnet
+rpc_bind_host=0.0.0.0
+rpc_bind_port=8006
+p2p_bind_host=0.0.0.0
+p2p_bind_port=7070
+proposer_id=follower-node-aitbc
+enable_block_production=false
+block_time_seconds=10
+keystore_path=/var/lib/aitbc/keystore
+keystore_password_file=/var/lib/aitbc/keystore/.password
+gossip_backend=broadcast
+gossip_broadcast_url=redis://10.1.223.40:6379
+db_path=/var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/chain.db
+mint_per_unit=0
+coordinator_ratio=0.05
+EOF
+
+# Copy genesis from aitbc1
+scp aitbc1:/var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/genesis.json /var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/
+scp aitbc1:/var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/allocations.json /var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/
+
+# Update systemd services
+sed -i 's|EnvironmentFile=/opt/aitbc/.env|EnvironmentFile=/etc/aitbc/blockchain.env|g' /opt/aitbc/systemd/aitbc-blockchain-*.service
+
+# Stop any existing services and clear old data
+systemctl stop aitbc-blockchain-* 2>/dev/null || true
+rm -f /var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/chain.db*
+
+# Start follower services
+systemctl daemon-reload
+systemctl enable aitbc-blockchain-node aitbc-blockchain-rpc
+systemctl start aitbc-blockchain-node aitbc-blockchain-rpc
+
+# Monitor sync
+journalctl -f -u aitbc-blockchain-node -u aitbc-blockchain-rpc
+```
+
+### 4. Watch Blockchain Sync
+
+```bash
+# On aitbc, monitor sync progress
+watch -n 2 'curl -s http://localhost:8006/rpc/head | jq .height'
+
+# Compare with aitbc1
+ssh aitbc1 'curl -s http://localhost:8006/rpc/head | jq .height'
+```
+
+### 5. Create Wallet on aitbc
+
+```bash
+# On aitbc, create a new wallet
+cd /opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node
+/opt/aitbc/venv/bin/python scripts/keystore.py \
+  --name aitbc-user \
+  --create \
+  --password $(cat /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/.password)
+
+# Note the new wallet address
+WALLET_ADDR=$(cat /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/aitbc-user.json | jq -r '.address')
+echo "New wallet: $WALLET_ADDR"
+```
+
+### 6. Send 1000 AIT from Genesis to aitbc Wallet
+
+```bash
+# On aitbc1, create and sign transaction
+cd /opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node
+
+# Get genesis wallet private key
+PASSWORD=$(cat /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/.password)
+GENESIS_KEY=$(/opt/aitbc/venv/bin/python -c "
+import json, sys
+from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric import ed25519
+from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.aead import AESGCM
+from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.pbkdf2 import PBKDF2HMAC
+from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import hashes
+import base64
+
+with open('/var/lib/aitbc/keystore/aitbc1genesis.json') as f:
+    ks = json.load(f)
+
+# Decrypt private key
+crypto = ks['crypto']
+salt = bytes.fromhex(crypto['kdfparams']['salt'])
+kdf = PBKDF2HMAC(hashes.SHA256(), 32, salt, crypto['kdfparams']['c'])
+key = kdf.derive('$PASSWORD'.encode())
+aesgcm = AESGCM(key)
+nonce = bytes.fromhex(crypto['cipherparams']['nonce'])
+priv = aesgcm.decrypt(nonce, bytes.fromhex(crypto['ciphertext']), None)
+print(priv.hex())
+")
+
+# Create transaction to send 1000 AIT
+TX_JSON=$(cat << EOF
+{
+  "sender": "$(cat /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/aitbc1genesis.json | jq -r '.address')",
+  "recipient": "$WALLET_ADDR",
+  "value": 1000,
+  "fee": 10,
+  "nonce": 0,
+  "type": "transfer",
+  "payload": {}
+}
+EOF
+)
+
+# Submit transaction via RPC
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8006/sendTx \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d "$TX_JSON"
+
+# Wait for transaction to be mined
+sleep 15
+
+# Verify balance on aitbc
+curl -s "http://localhost:8006/rpc/getBalance/$WALLET_ADDR" | jq .
+```
+
+### 7. Final Verification
+
+```bash
+# Check both nodes are in sync
+echo "=== aitbc1 height ==="
+ssh aitbc1 'curl -s http://localhost:8006/rpc/head | jq .height'
+
+echo "=== aitbc height ==="
+curl -s http://localhost:8006/rpc/head | jq .height
+
+echo "=== aitbc wallet balance ==="
+curl -s "http://localhost:8006/rpc/getBalance/$WALLET_ADDR" | jq .
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **Services won't start**: Check `/var/log/aitbc/` for service logs
+- **Sync issues**: Verify Redis connectivity between nodes
+- **Transaction failures**: Check wallet nonce and balance
+- **Permission errors**: Ensure `/var/lib/aitbc/` is owned by root with proper permissions
+
+## Notes
+
+- Only one `.env` file is used at `/etc/aitbc/blockchain.env`
+- All services use the central venv at `/opt/aitbc/venv`
+- Database files are stored in `/var/lib/aitbc/data`
+- Wallet credentials are in `/var/lib/aitbc/keystore`
+- Service logs go to `/var/log/aitbc/` via journald
