```

Manual Installation

Add to your zexus.json:

```json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "zexus-blockchain": "^3.0.0"
  }
}
```

🚀 Quick Start

Basic Wallet Creation

```zexus
use "zexus-blockchain" as blockchain

// Create quantum-resistant wallet
let keypair = blockchain.generate_quantum_keypair(blockchain.ChainType.ZIVER)
let address = keypair.get_address()

print("Wallet address: " + address.toString())
print("Public key: " + bytes_to_hex(keypair.public_key))

// Create bounce-back transaction
let recipient = blockchain.create_address("0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b8D", blockchain.ChainType.ETHEREUM)
let tx = blockchain.create_bounceback_transaction(address, recipient, 1000000, blockchain.ChainType.ZIVER)

// Sign and send
let signature = keypair.sign_transaction(tx)
tx.sign(signature)

if tx.execute() {
    print("Transaction sent with bounce-back protection!")
}
```

Smart Contract Deployment

```zexus
// Create ERC-20 token with SEB-DeFi features
let token = blockchain.create_erc20_token("ZiverToken", "ZIV", 1000000000)

// Enable SEB-DeFi protocol
let defi = blockchain.create_seb_defi_protocol()
await defi.initialize_user(address)

// Social Capital Score determines borrowing power
let scs = await defi.get_or_create_scs(address)
print("Social Capital Score: " + string(scs.score))
print("Borrowing tier: " + scs.tier)
print("Max borrow power: " + string(scs.get_borrowing_power()))
```

Cross-Chain Operations

```zexus
// Transfer assets between chains
let bridge = blockchain.create_cross_chain_bridge()
await bridge.initialize_bridge()

let transfer_id = await bridge.transfer_assets(
    blockchain.ChainType.ZIVER,
    blockchain.ChainType.ETHEREUM,
    "ZIV",
    1000,
    recipient
)

print("Cross-chain transfer initiated: " + transfer_id)

// Monitor transfer status
while true {
    let transfer = bridge.pending_transfers[transfer_id]
    print("Transfer status: " + string(transfer.status))
    
    if transfer.status == blockchain.BridgeTransferStatus.COMPLETED {
        print("Transfer completed! TX: " + transfer.release_tx_hash)
        break
    }
    
    await blockchain.sleep(10) // Check every 10 seconds
}
```

AI-Enhanced Transactions

```zexus
// Create explainable transaction
let explainable_tx = blockchain.ExplainableTransaction{
    from_addr: address,
    to_addr: recipient, 
    amount: 500000,
    chain: blockchain.ChainType.ZIVER
}

// Generate AI explanation
let explanation = await explainable_tx.generate_explanation()
print("AI Explanation: " + explanation)

// Get risk assessment
let risk = explainable_tx.get_risk_assessment()
print("Risk Level: " + risk.overall_risk)
print("Confidence: " + string(risk.confidence))

// Get improvement suggestions
let improvements = explainable_tx.get_suggested_improvements()
for each suggestion in improvements {
    print("Suggestion: " + suggestion)
}
```

Private Transactions with ZK-SNARKs

```zexus
// Create private transaction
let zk_system = blockchain.ZKSNARKSystem{}
let private_tx_circuit = zk_system.circuit_registry["private_transaction"]

let private_inputs = {
    sender_balance: 1000000,
    amount: 500000,
    receiver_address: recipient.toString(),
    sender_private_key: keypair.private_key
}

let public_inputs = {
    sender_public_key: keypair.public_key,
    transaction_hash: explainable_tx.hash()
}

// Generate zero-knowledge proof
let proof = await zk_system.generate_proof("private_transaction", private_inputs, public_inputs)

// Verify proof on-chain
if proof.verify() {
    print("ZK proof verified! Transaction is valid without revealing details.")
} else {
    print("ZK proof verification failed!")
}
```

## **How to Use with `zexus.json`**

When you run `zpm init`, it creates a `zexus.json` file. To use the entire standard library ecosystem:

### **1. Project `zexus.json`**
```json
{
  "name": "my-blockchain-app",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "zexus-blockchain": "^3.0.0",
    "zexus-math": "^1.0.0",
    "zexus-network": "^1.0.0"
  },
  "type": "module"
}
```

2. Import in Your Code

```zexus
use "zexus-blockchain" as blockchain
use "zexus-math" as math
use "zexus-network" as net

// Now you have access to everything!
let keypair = blockchain.generate_quantum_keypair(blockchain.ChainType.ZIVER)
let complex_calc = math.complex(3, 4)
let http_client = net.http_client("https://api.example.com")
```

3. Installation Flow

```bash
# Initialize project
zpm init

# Install dependencies (automatically reads zexus.json)
zpm install

# Now you can import and use!
```
