+# Stellar Horizon API Wrapper
+
+A comprehensive TypeScript wrapper for the Stellar Horizon API that provides strongly-typed interfaces, rate limiting, error handling, and retry logic.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ **Account Data Fetching**: Get account information, balances, and metadata
+- ✅ **Transaction History**: Retrieve transaction history with pagination support
+- ✅ **Payment Operations**: Fetch payment operations and transaction details
+- ✅ **Ledger Information**: Access ledger data and network statistics
+- ✅ **Rate Limiting**: Built-in rate limiting to prevent API throttling
+- ✅ **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error handling with meaningful messages
+- ✅ **Retry Logic**: Automatic retry with exponential backoff
+- ✅ **TypeScript Support**: Fully typed interfaces for all API responses
+- ✅ **Streaming Support**: Real-time account updates (polling-based)
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @chenaikit/core
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```typescript
+import { HorizonConnector, HorizonConfig } from '@chenaikit/core';
+
+// Configuration
+const config: HorizonConfig = {
+  horizonUrl: 'https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org',
+  networkPassphrase: 'Test SDF Network ; September 2015',
+  apiKey: process.env.STELLAR_API_KEY, // Optional
+  rateLimit: {
+    requestsPerMinute: 60,
+    burstLimit: 10,
+    retryAfterMs: 1000
+  },
+  timeout: 30000,
+  retryAttempts: 3,
+  retryDelay: 1000
+};
+
+// Create connector
+const horizon = new HorizonConnector(config);
+
+// Fetch account data

+
+## TypeScript Interfaces
+
+### Core Types
+
+```typescript
+interface HorizonAccount {
+  id: string;
+  account_id: string;
+  sequence: string;
+  subentry_count: number;
+  num_sponsoring: number;

+
+### Pagination Options
+
+```typescript
+interface PaginationOptions {
+  cursor?: string;        // Pagination cursor
+  order?: 'asc' | 'desc'; // Sort order
+  limit?: number;         // Number of records (max 200)
+}
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+The wrapper provides comprehensive error handling with meaningful error messages:
+
+```typescript
+try {
+  const account = await horizon.getAccount('INVALID_ADDRESS');
+} catch (error) {
+  console.error('Error:', error.message);
+  // Output: "Invalid Stellar address format"
+}
+
+try {
+  const account = await horizon.getAccount('GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWHF');
+} catch (error) {
+  console.error('Error:', error.message);
+  // Output: "Account not found: GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWHF"
+}
+```
+
+## Rate Limiting
+
+The connector includes built-in rate limiting to prevent API throttling:
+
+```typescript
+const config: HorizonConfig = {
+  horizonUrl: 'https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org',
+  networkPassphrase: 'Test SDF Network ; September 2015',
+  rateLimit: {
+    requestsPerMinute: 60,    // Max 60 requests per minute
+    burstLimit: 10,           // Allow bursts of 10 requests
+    retryAfterMs: 1000        // Wait 1 second on rate limit
+  }
+};
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Basic Account Operations
+
+```typescript
+import { HorizonConnector } from '@chenaikit/core';
+
+const horizon = new HorizonConnector({
+  horizonUrl: 'https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org',
+  networkPassphrase: 'Test SDF Network ; September 2015'
+});
+
+// Get account information
+const account = await horizon.getAccount('GALPCCZN4YXA3YMJHKL6CVIECKPLJJCTVMSNYWBTKJW4K5HQLYLDMZ3J');
+console.log('Account sequence:', account.sequence);
+
+// Get account balances
+const balances = await horizon.getAccountBalances('GALPCCZN4YXA3YMJHKL6CVIECKPLJJCTVMSNYWBTKJW4K5HQLYLDMZ3J');
+balances.forEach(balance => {
+  if (balance.asset_type === 'native') {
+    console.log(`XLM Balance: ${balance.balance}`);
+  } else {
+    console.log(`${balance.asset_code} Balance: ${balance.balance}`);
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### Transaction History with Pagination
+
+```typescript
+// Get recent transactions
+const transactions = await horizon.getAccountTransactions('GALPCCZN4YXA3YMJHKL6CVIECKPLJJCTVMSNYWBTKJW4K5HQLYLDMZ3J', {
+  limit: 10,
+  order: 'desc'
+});
+
+console.log(`Found ${transactions.records.length} transactions:`);
+transactions.records.forEach(tx => {
+  console.log(`- ${tx.hash}: ${tx.successful ? 'SUCCESS' : 'FAILED'}`);
+});
+
+// Get next page
+if (transactions.next) {
+  const nextPage = await horizon.getAccountTransactions('GALPCCZN4YXA3YMJHKL6CVIECKPLJJCTVMSNYWBTKJW4K5HQLYLDMZ3J', {
+    cursor: transactions.records[transactions.records.length - 1].paging_token,
+    limit: 10,
+    order: 'desc'
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### Real-time Account Monitoring
+
+```typescript
+// Stream account updates
+const streamPromise = horizon.streamAccount('GALPCCZN4YXA3YMJHKL6CVIECKPLJJCTVMSNYWBTKJW4K5HQLYLDMZ3J', (accountData) => {
+  console.log('Account updated:', {
+    sequence: accountData.sequence,
+    balances: accountData.balances.length,
+    lastModified: accountData.last_modified_time
+  });
+});
+
+// Stop streaming after 30 seconds
+setTimeout(() => {
+  horizon.stopStreaming();
+}, 30000);
+
+await streamPromise;
+```
+
