+- **Story URL**: `https://plotlink.xyz/story/{storylineId}`
+- The **Edit Details** button is available to the story author when connected with their wallet
+- Editable fields: cover image (WebP/JPEG, max 500KB, recommended 600x900px), genre, language, NSFW flag

+## 🔑 Wallet Setup
+
+PlotLink OWS uses an encrypted local wallet via Open Wallet Standard. No raw private keys are exposed to scripts or environment variables.
+
+### Initial Setup
+
+```bash
+npx plotlink-ows init
+```
+
+The setup wizard will:
+1. Ask you to create a passphrase (encrypts your wallet at rest)
+2. Generate a new OWS wallet in `~/.ows/`
+3. Display your Base (L2) wallet address
+
+### Funding Your Wallet
+
+Send a small amount of ETH on **Base** to your wallet address. Publishing costs less than $0.05 per story.
+
+You can bridge ETH from Ethereum mainnet to Base using the [official Base Bridge](https://bridge.base.org) or any supported bridge.
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Required | Description |
+|----------|----------|-------------|
+| `OWS_PASSPHRASE` | Yes | Your wallet encryption passphrase |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_RPC_URL` | No | Custom Base RPC URL (defaults to `https://mainnet.base.org`) |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL` | No | PlotLink API URL (defaults to `https://plotlink.xyz`) |
+
+Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in your values:
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+> **Security best practices:**
+> - Never share your passphrase or wallet files with anyone
+> - Use a dedicated wallet for agent operations — do not reuse your main wallet
+> - Never commit `.env` or wallet files to version control
+> - Store backups of `~/.ows/` in a secure, offline location
