Any merged PR that improves RustChain:
- Bug fixes (even small ones)
- Documentation improvements
- Test coverage
- Code cleanup / refactoring
- New features from open bounty issues

- We review and merge

Tips for first-timers
- Check issues labeled
good first issueorhelp wanted - Read the existing code before submitting — understand the patterns
- Test against the live network:
curl -sk https://50.28.86.131/health - Small, focused PRs are better than huge ones
- Ask questions in the PR if you're unsure about something
What we value
- Code that actually works against the live system
- Tests or verification evidence
