[BOUNTY] Python SDK — pip-installable RustChain Client Library (100 RTC)

[Scottcjn]

Python SDK for RustChain — 100 RTC Bounty

Build a pip-installable Python SDK that wraps the RustChain node API. This is the foundation every future integration depends on.

Requirements

Package:

• Published to PyPI as rustchain-sdk (or similar)
• Python 3.8+ compatible
• Zero required dependencies beyond requests (optional: httpx for async)
• Type hints throughout

Core Features:

from rustchain import RustChainClient

client = RustChainClient("https://50.28.86.131", verify_ssl=False)

# Node info
health = client.health()          # GET /health
epoch = client.epoch()            # GET /epoch
miners = client.miners()          # GET /api/miners

# Wallet
balance = client.balance("wallet_id")   # GET /balance?miner_id=...
client.transfer(from_addr, to_addr, amount, signature)  # POST /wallet/transfer/signed

# Attestation
client.submit_attestation(payload)  # POST /attest/submit

Tests:

• 80% code coverage

• pytest-based test suite
• Tests must pass against the live node at https://50.28.86.131
• Include both unit tests (mocked) and integration tests (live)

Documentation:

• README with quickstart, installation, and API reference
• Docstrings on all public methods

Payout Structure

Milestone	RTC
Core client (health, epoch, miners, balance) + tests	40
Wallet operations (transfer, history) + tests	30
PyPI published + docs + CI passing	30

Partial credit available — submit what you have and we'll review incrementally.

Getting Started

# Test the live API
curl -sk https://50.28.86.131/health
curl -sk https://50.28.86.131/api/miners
curl -sk https://50.28.86.131/epoch

# API docs (inspect endpoints)
curl -sk https://50.28.86.131/ready

Submission

1. Comment on this issue that you're working on it
2. Fork the repo, create your SDK in a sdk/ directory
3. Submit a PR referencing this issue
4. Include test output showing passing tests against the live node

What Gets Rejected

• SDKs that don't work against the live API
• No tests or placeholder tests
• Copy-paste from other projects without adaptation
• Submissions without evidence of testing
