## Environment Configuration Review and Updates

### ✅ Updates Applied

1. **Frontend Configuration**:
   - Updated `.env.local` with Chain 138 as primary network
   - Added `NEXT_PUBLIC_CHAIN_ID=138` for explicit chain identification
   - Network name display updated to recognize Chain 138
   - Chain indicator component created for better UX

2. **Backend Configuration**:
   - Indexer defaults to Chain 138 (was Sepolia)
   - Added environment variable validation on startup
   - Better error messages for missing configuration

3. **Contracts Configuration**:
   - Already configured for Chain 138 deployment

   - Deployment scripts ready for Chain 138

4. **Documentation**:
   - Created comprehensive `ENV_CONFIGURATION.md`
   - Documents all environment variables
   - Includes setup instructions and security notes

### 📋 Environment Variables from .env Files

   pnpm run deploy:chain138
   ```

2. Update contract addresses in environment files:
   - `frontend/.env.local`: Add deployed addresses
