+# Oracle Node Operational Runbook
+
+## Overview
+
+The Chenaikit Oracle Node (`@chenaikit/oracle-node`) is a persistent daemon service that ingests verified off-chain signals (credit scores, fraud alerts, asset prices) and periodically submits signed observations to the on-chain Soroban `oracle-network` smart contract.
+
+The on-chain contract enforces stake-backed node registration, median aggregation across active quorums within configured freshness windows, and governance-driven slashing with reputation tracking.
+

+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+The oracle node runtime is configured via environment variables.
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|---|---|---|
+| `SOROBAN_RPC_URL` | Soroban RPC endpoint URL | `https://soroban-testnet.stellar.org` |
+| `STELLAR_NETWORK_PASSPHRASE` | Stellar network passphrase | `Test SDF Network ; September 2015` |
+| `ORACLE_CONTRACT_ID` | Address of deployed `oracle-network` contract | Required |
+| `ORACLE_NODE_ADDRESS` | Public key (`G...`) of the registered oracle node | Required |
+| `ORACLE_NODE_SECRET_KEY` | Secret seed (`S...`) used to sign transaction payloads | Required |
+| `BACKEND_API_URL` | Base URL of upstream backend service | `http://localhost:3000` |
+| `POLL_INTERVAL_MS` | Interval between data collection & submission passes | `15000` (15 seconds) |
+| `PORT` | Listening port for HTTP health and metrics server | `8080` |
+| `HOST` | Listening host interface | `0.0.0.0` |

+
+---
+
+## Setup and Key Provisioning
+
+### 1. Generate Stellar Keypair
+
+Generate an Ed25519 keypair for the oracle node using the Stellar CLI:
+
+```bash
+stellar keys generate oracle-node-01 --network testnet
+stellar keys address oracle-node-01
+```
+
+Fund the account with testnet lumens via Friendbot:
+
+```bash
+curl "https://friendbot.stellar.org?addr=$(stellar keys address oracle-node-01)"
+```
+
+### 2. Stake and Register On-Chain
+
+Oracle nodes must deposit the minimum stake (default 10 XLM / `100_000_000` stroops) before submitting data.
+
+Call `register_node` on the contract:
+
+```bash
+stellar contract invoke \
+  --id <ORACLE_CONTRACT_ID> \
+  --source-account oracle-node-01 \
+  --network testnet \
+  -- \
+  register_node \
+  --caller $(stellar keys address oracle-node-01) \
+  --stake 100000000
+```
+
+Verify registration status:
+
+```bash
+stellar contract invoke \
+  --id <ORACLE_CONTRACT_ID> \
+  --source-account oracle-node-01 \
+  --network testnet \
+  -- \
+  get_node \
+  --node $(stellar keys address oracle-node-01)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Starting the Node
+
+### Build from Source
+
+```bash
+cd packages/oracle-node
+pnpm build
+```
+
+### Run the Daemon
+
+Using npm / pnpm scripts:
+
+```bash
+export ORACLE_CONTRACT_ID="CA..."
+export ORACLE_NODE_ADDRESS="GB..."
+export ORACLE_NODE_SECRET_KEY="SB..."
+pnpm start
+```
+
+Or run via the CLI binary directly:
+
+```bash
+npx oracle-node
+```
+
+The daemon outputs structured JSON logs:
+
+```json
+{"timestamp":"2026-09-08T15:20:00.000Z","level":"info","message":"Starting Oracle Node daemon","service":"@chenaikit/oracle-node","nodeAddress":"GB...","contractId":"CA...","pollIntervalMs":15000,"adapters":["backend-credit-score","backend-fraud-alert"]}
+{"timestamp":"2026-09-08T15:20:00.050Z","level":"info","message":"Oracle HTTP server listening","service":"@chenaikit/oracle-node","host":"0.0.0.0","port":8080}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Health and Monitoring
+
+### Health Endpoint
+
+Query `GET /health` to verify service availability:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:8080/health | jq .
+```
+
+Response:
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "service": "@chenaikit/oracle-node",
+  "version": "0.1.0",
+  "uptimeSeconds": 124,
+  "nodeAddress": "GB...",
+  "contractId": "CA...",
+  "registeredFeeds": ["credit_sc", "fraud_flg"]
+}
+```
+
+### Metrics Endpoint
+
+Query `GET /metrics` for JSON metrics:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:8080/metrics | jq .
+```
+
+Response:
+
+```json
+{
+  "submissionsSucceeded": 28,
+  "submissionsFailed": 0,
+  "submissionsRejected": 0,
+  "lastSubmissionTimestamp": 1757344800,
+  "lastSubmissionRound": 9,
+  "uptimeSeconds": 124,
+  "activeFeedsCount": 2
+}
+```
+
+For Prometheus metric format, request with `Accept: text/plain`:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -H "Accept: text/plain" http://localhost:8080/metrics
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```text
+# HELP oracle_submissions_succeeded_total Total successful data submissions
+# TYPE oracle_submissions_succeeded_total counter
+oracle_submissions_succeeded_total 28
+# HELP oracle_submissions_failed_total Total failed data submissions
+# TYPE oracle_submissions_failed_total counter
+oracle_submissions_failed_total 0
+# HELP oracle_submissions_rejected_total Total submissions rejected by contract rules
+# TYPE oracle_submissions_rejected_total counter
+oracle_submissions_rejected_total 0
+# HELP oracle_uptime_seconds Process uptime in seconds
+# TYPE oracle_uptime_seconds gauge
+oracle_uptime_seconds 124
+```
+
+---
+
+## Verification on-Chain
+
+Verify aggregated values on-chain using Soroban CLI:
+
+```bash
+stellar contract invoke \
+  --id <ORACLE_CONTRACT_ID> \
+  --source-account oracle-node-01 \
+  --network testnet \
+  -- \
+  get_aggregated_value \
+  --feed_id credit_sc
+```
+
+---
+
+## Slashing and Governance Operations
+
+The contract permits the contract admin or designated governance contract (`set_governance`) to execute disciplinary slashing when an oracle node misbehaves or submits corrupted data:
+
+```bash
+stellar contract invoke \
+  --id <ORACLE_CONTRACT_ID> \
+  --source-account governance-account \
+  --network testnet \
+  -- \
+  slash_node \
+  --admin $(stellar keys address governance-account) \
+  --node <OFFENDING_NODE_ADDRESS> \
+  --amount 20000000
+```
+
+When stake drops below the minimum stake threshold, the node is deactivated (`is_active: false`) and cannot submit data until re-staked.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### 1. `NodeInactive` or `NodeNotRegistered` Rejections
+- Ensure `register_node` was called and confirmed on-chain.
+- Verify node has not been slashed below minimum stake (`get_node`).
+
+### 2. `StaleData` or `FutureTimestamp` Rejections
+- Ensure host machine NTP clock is synchronized within 5 seconds of real time.
+- Verify `freshness_window` configured for the feed is sufficient.
+
+### 3. Transient RPC Rate Limits (HTTP 429)
+- The submitter automatically applies full-jitter exponential backoff.
+- Tune `POLL_INTERVAL_MS` or use a dedicated Soroban RPC node endpoint.
