+# 🔱 Trident Testnet Event Monitor Example
+
+This is a working, production-grade example application that connects to **Trident Indexer** on **Stellar Testnet** using the official `@trident/sdk` TypeScript client.
+
+---
+
+## Features Demonstrated
+
+1. **Client Setup**: Authenticating and configuring the typed TypeScript client for Stellar Testnet.
+2. **Historical Queries**: Querying indexed events by contract ID with limit and keyset pagination.
+3. **Live Streaming**: Real-time event subscription via WebSocket (`client.subscribe`).
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Node.js** (v20 LTS or later)
+- **npm** (v9 or later)
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+### 2. Configure Environment
+
+Create a `.env` file (optional; sensible defaults point to public testnet):
+
+```ini
+TRIDENT_API_URL=https://api.testnet.trident.telocel.com
+TRIDENT_API_KEY=your-api-key
+CONTRACT_ID=CDLZFC3SYJYDZT7K67VZ75HPJVIEUVNIXF47ZG2FB2RMQQVU2HHGCYSC
+```
+
+### 3. Run the Monitor
+
+```bash
+npm start
+```
+
+### 4. CI Dry-Run Validation
+
+```bash
+npm test
+```
