## Getting Started
To work on the next phase:
```bash
# Build the workspace
cargo build --workspace
# Run tests
cargo test --workspace
# Start the node (once Phase 1 is complete)
./target/debug/synord run --network testnet
# Use the CLI (once Phase 2 is complete)
./target/debug/synor wallet create
```
