+# RPC Node
+
+This folder contains the documentation for setting up and using the RPC Node in the TapTrade Core repository.
+
+Any developer can use this to test this repository in an isolated Regtest node.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before using the RPC Node, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:
+
+- docker
+- docker compose
+
+## Installation
+
+To install the RPC Node, follow these steps:
+
+1. Clone the TapTrade Core repository to your local machine.
+
+### Build the Docker Containers:
+1. Navigate to the `rpc_node` folder in the repository.
+    ```
+    cd rpc_node/regtest
+    ```
+
+2. Run the following command to build the services:
+    ```
+    docker compose build
+    ```
+
+### Start the Services:
+
+1. Once the containers are built, you can start the Bitcoin and Electrs services:
+    ```
+    docker compose up -d
+    ```
+2. This command will run the containers in detached mode. To see the logs in real-time, use:
+    ```
+    docker compose logs -f
+    ```
+### Check If the Services Are Running:
+    You can check the status of your containers by running:
+    ```
+    docker ps
+    ```
+
+## Usage
+
+The mine-blocks.sh script is designed to automatically create a wallet, generate initial blocks, and then continue generating blocks at intervals.
+```
+docker exec -it bitcoin ./mine-blocks.sh bcrt1pcc5nx64a9d6rpk5fkvr6v2lnk06cwxqmgpv3894ehgwkeeal2qusjgjrk3
