blockchain/.env.example (1)
11-14: Reorder RPC URLs for consistency.The RPC URL environment variables are not in alphabetical order. Alphabetizing these keys improves consistency and readability. Reorder them: AMOY, BSC, FUJI, SEPOLIA.
Apply this diff:
- RPC_URL_AMOY=http://127.0.0.1:8545 - RPC_URL_SEPOLIA=http://127.0.0.1:8545 - RPC_URL_FUJI=http://127.0.0.1:8545 - RPC_URL_BSC=http://127.0.0.1:8545 + RPC_URL_AMOY=http://127.0.0.1:8545 + RPC_URL_BSC=http://127.0.0.1:8545 + RPC_URL_FUJI=http://127.0.0.1:8545 + RPC_URL_SEPOLIA=http://127.0.0.1:8545README.md (2)
112-113: Wrap bare URLs in markdown syntax.Lines 112 and 113 contain bare URLs that should be wrapped for proper markdown rendering. Use backticks or markdown link syntax:
- - Frontend: http://localhost:3000 - - Blockchain Node: http://localhost:8545 + - Frontend: `http://localhost:3000` + - Blockchain Node: `http://localhost:8545`
68-68: Add language specifiers to fenced code blocks.Fenced code blocks should specify their language for proper syntax highlighting. The blocks at lines 68, 78, 149, and 179 are missing language identifiers. Add the appropriate language specifiers:
- Line 68 & 78: Use
```plaintext(or omit if showing config structure)- Line 149 & 179: Use
```plaintext(or omit if showing config structure)Alternatively, if these blocks represent shell/bash examples, use
```bash.Example for line 68:
- ``` + ```plaintext PRIVATE_KEY=<your_real_private_key> RPC_URL_AMOY=<your_amoy_rpc> ... - ``` + ```Also applies to: 78-78, 149-149, 179-179

🔇 Additional comments (3)
client/.env.example (1)
1-6: Clean example file structure.The consolidated client environment file is well-documented with clear placeholder and explanatory comment. The removal of RPC URL variables (now handled in blockchain/.env.example) aligns with the PR objective of consolidating backend configuration.
README.md (2)
38-84: Excellent environment setup documentation.The new environment files section clearly explains the distinction between dummy values for local development and real keys for deployments, with concrete copy commands. This significantly improves onboarding clarity and directly addresses the PR objective. The structure and tone are appropriate for contributor guidance.
86-189: Well-organized setup instructions.The separation of Docker and manual setup flows with clear step-by-step instructions (clone, environment setup, install, run) provides excellent guidance for new contributors. Both paths are comprehensive and the examples are concrete and actionable.
