+# Contributing to StackChain
+
+We love your input! We want to make contributing to StackChain as easy and transparent as possible.
+
+## Development Process
+
+We use GitHub to host code, to track issues and feature requests, as well as accept pull requests.
+
+1. Fork the repo and create your branch
+2. If you've added code that should be tested, add tests
+3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation
+4. Ensure the test suite passes
+5. Make sure your code lints
+6. Issue that pull request!
+
+## Pull Request Process
+
+1. Update the README.md with details of changes to the interface
+2. Update the docs/ with any necessary changes
+3. The PR will be merged once you have the sign-off of two other developers
+
+## Security Issues
+
+Please review our [Security Policy](SECURITY.md) for reporting security vulnerabilities.

+# StackChain Layer 2 Rollup
+
+A high-performance Layer 2 rollup solution for the Stacks blockchain that enables scalable transactions with security guarantees.
+
+## Features
+
+- High-throughput transaction processing
+- Secure state commitment system
+- Challenge-response mechanism for dispute resolution
+- User deposits and withdrawals
+- Internal transfer capabilities
+- Operator validation
+- Merkle proof verification
+- Balance tracking
+- Comprehensive access controls
+
+## Architecture
+
+StackChain implements a Layer 2 rollup system with the following components:
+
+- **Operator Management**: Trusted operators who submit state commitments
+- **State Commitments**: Periodic submissions of Layer 2 state
+- **Challenge System**: Mechanism to dispute invalid state transitions
+- **Token Bridge**: Deposit and withdrawal functionality
+- **Internal Transfers**: Efficient in-rollup token movements
+
+## Security Features
+
+- Operator validation and registration
+- Challenge periods for dispute resolution
+- Merkle proof verification for withdrawals
+- Balance tracking and validation
+- Comprehensive access controls
+- Bond requirements for operators and challengers
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Stacks blockchain environment
+- Clarity contract deployment tools
+- STX tokens for testing
+
+### Deployment
+
+1. Deploy the contract to the Stacks blockchain
+2. Register initial operator(s)
+3. Configure challenge parameters
+4. Begin accepting deposits
+
+### Usage
+
+```clarity
+;; Register as an operator (contract owner only)
+(contract-call? .stackchain register-operator)
+
+;; Deposit tokens
+(contract-call? .stackchain deposit u1000 u1)
+
+;; Transfer within rollup
+(contract-call? .stackchain transfer-in-rollup tx-sender 'SP2J6ZY48GV1EZ5V2V5RB9MP66SW86PYKKNRV9EJ7 u100 u1)
+
+;; Withdraw tokens
+(contract-call? .stackchain withdraw u100 u1 0x...)
+```
+
+## Documentation
+
+Detailed documentation is available in the `/docs` directory:
+
+- [Technical Specification](docs/technical-specification.md)

+# StackChain Technical Specification
+
+## Overview
+
+StackChain is a Layer 2 rollup solution designed for the Stacks blockchain that enables high-throughput transactions while maintaining security guarantees through a robust challenge-response mechanism.
+
+## System Components
+
+### 1. Operator Management
+
+```clarity
+(define-map operators principal { is-active: bool })
+```
+
+Operators are trusted entities responsible for:
+
+- Submitting state commitments
+- Processing Layer 2 transactions
+- Maintaining rollup state
+
+### 2. State Commitments
+
+```clarity
+(define-map state-commitments
+  { commitment-block: uint, commitment-hash: (buff 32) }
+  { total-transactions: uint, total-value: uint, root-hash: (buff 32) }
+)
+```
+
+State commitments contain:
+
+- Block number
+- State root hash
+- Transaction metadata
+- Value totals
+
+### 3. Challenge System
+
+```clarity
+(define-map challenges
+  { challenge-block: uint, challenger: principal }
+  { commitment-hash: (buff 32), challenge-bond: uint }
+)
+```
+
+Features:
+
+- Challenge submission
+- Bond requirements
+- Resolution mechanism
+- Fraud proof verification
+
+### 4. Token Bridge
+
+Deposit/Withdrawal functionality:
+
+- User deposits tracked on-chain
+- Merkle proof-based withdrawals
+- Balance verification
+- Token identifier support
+
+### 5. Internal Transfers
+
+Efficient in-rollup transfers with:
+
+- Balance tracking
+- Input validation
+- Principal verification
+- Token type support
+
+## Security Model
+
+### Access Controls
+
+- Contract owner privileges
+- Operator registration
+- User balance protection
+
+### Validation
+
+- Input validation
+- Principal verification
+- Balance checks
+- Merkle proof verification
+
+### Challenge Mechanism
+
+- Challenge submission
+- Bond requirements
+- Resolution process
+- Fraud proof verification
+
+## Error Handling
+
+```clarity
+(define-constant ERR_INVALID_OPERATOR (err u1))
+(define-constant ERR_INVALID_COMMITMENT (err u2))
+(define-constant ERR_CHALLENGE_PERIOD (err u3))
+(define-constant ERR_INVALID_PROOF (err u4))
+(define-constant ERR_INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS (err u5))
+(define-constant ERR_INVALID_INPUT (err u6))
+(define-constant ERR_UNAUTHORIZED (err u7))
+```
+
+## Data Structures
+
+### User Balances
+
+```clarity
+(define-map user-balances
+  { user: principal, token-identifier: uint }
+  uint
+)
+```
+
+### State Commitments
+
+```clarity
+(define-map state-commitments
+  { commitment-block: uint, commitment-hash: (buff 32) }
+  { total-transactions: uint, total-value: uint, root-hash: (buff 32) }
+)
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- Efficient state updates
+- Optimized data structures
+- Minimal on-chain footprint
+- Batch processing capability
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+1. Enhanced challenge mechanism
+2. Multiple token support
+3. Optimistic rollup features
+4. Advanced fraud proofs
+5. Cross-chain integration
