+## 🔬 Sandboxes - Diagnostics & Simulations
+
+The project includes comprehensive sandboxes for transparent testing and validation:
+
+### Backend Sandboxes
+
+```bash
+# AI Model Diagnostics
+python sandboxes/backend/ai_diagnostics.py
+
+# Blockchain Interaction Simulation
+python sandboxes/backend/blockchain_simulation.py
+
+# Custom AI prompt testing
+python sandboxes/backend/ai_diagnostics.py --prompt "Your custom prompt"
+```
+
+### Frontend Sandboxes
+
+```bash
+# Web3 wallet connection testing (interactive UI)
+# Copy sandboxes/frontend/Web3Sandbox.tsx to your app
+
+# AI chat simulation (interactive UI)
+# Copy sandboxes/frontend/AIChatSimulation.tsx to your app
+```
+
+### Contract Sandboxes
+
+```bash
+cd contracts
+
+# Copy sandbox files
+cp ../sandboxes/contracts/SimpleStorage.sol contracts/
+cp ../sandboxes/contracts/SimpleStorage.test.js test/
+
+# Run sandbox tests
+npm test test/SimpleStorage.test.js
+
+# Deploy with diagnostics
+npx hardhat run ../sandboxes/contracts/deploy_sandbox.js --network localhost
+```
+
+**For detailed documentation**, see [sandboxes/README.md](sandboxes/README.md)
+
+**Purpose**: Sandboxes provide transparency in:
+- AI model behavior and responses
+- Blockchain connectivity and transactions
+- Web3 wallet interactions
+- Smart contract execution and gas usage
+
