+# Contributing to EpochSend Frontend
+
+Thank you for your interest in building the UI for the future of intent-based payments on Stellar! This guide will help you contribute effectively.
+
+## 🛠 Tech Stack
+
+- **Frontend:** Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Freighter Wallet
+- **Network:** Stellar (Testnet)
+
+## 📝 Commit Guidelines
+
+We follow a **Modular Commit** philosophy to ensure history is readable and revertable.
+
+**The Golden Rule:**
+
+> "Commit after every meaningful change, not every line."
+
+- **Meaningful Change:** Completing a function, finishing a fix, adding a feature block, creating a file, or making a significant modification.
+- **Avoid:** Micro-commits for single-line edits unless they are standalone fixes.
+- **Frequency:** Commit often, but only when you finish a logical piece of work.
+
+### Example Commit Messages
+
+- `feat(ui): add payment creation flow dashboard`
+- `fix(hooks): correct wallet auto-connect logic`
+- `docs: update deployment guide`
+- `chore: update dependencies`
+
