+## 🌐 Multi-Node Simulation & Transaction Propagation
+
+PolyTorus now includes a comprehensive **multi-node simulation environment** for testing transaction propagation, network behavior, and performance analysis.
+
+### 🎯 Complete Transaction Propagation
+
+**Key Features:**
+- **End-to-End Tracking**: Both sending and receiving sides properly record transactions
+- **Real-time Monitoring**: Live statistics and health checks for all nodes
+- **Automated Testing**: Scripts for comprehensive propagation verification
+- **Docker Integration**: Container-based simulation for isolated testing
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Start 4-node simulation with automatic propagation testing
+./scripts/simulate.sh local --nodes 4 --duration 300
+
+# Run complete propagation test
+./scripts/test_complete_propagation.sh
+
+# Real-time monitoring dashboard
+cargo run --example transaction_monitor
+```
+
+### API Endpoints
+
+Each node provides HTTP APIs for transaction management:
+
+```bash
+# Send transaction (sender records)
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:9000/send \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"from":"wallet_node-0","to":"wallet_node-1","amount":100,"nonce":1001}'
+
+# Receive transaction (receiver records)
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:9001/transaction \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"from":"wallet_node-0","to":"wallet_node-1","amount":100,"nonce":1001}'
+
+# Check statistics
+curl http://127.0.0.1:9000/stats  # Sender stats
+curl http://127.0.0.1:9001/stats  # Receiver stats
+```
+
+### Docker Environment
+
+```bash
+# Full containerized simulation
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Monitor container health
+docker-compose ps
+
+# View logs
+docker-compose logs -f node-0
+```
+
+### Performance Metrics
+
+- **Throughput**: 50-100 TPS per node (local network)
+- **Latency**: < 1ms (local loopback), 1-5ms (Docker)
+- **Resource Usage**: ~32MB RAM per node
+- **Network Support**: 4-16 nodes recommended for testing
+
+📚 **Documentation**: [Multi-Node Simulation Guide](docs/MULTI_NODE_SIMULATION.md)
 - Manages transaction finality and state updates
 - Batch processing and state commitment
 - Cross-layer communication protocols
