 ### Enhancements
 
+- Added `miden-genesis` tool for generating canonical AggLayer genesis accounts and configuration ([#1797](https://github.com/0xMiden/node/pull/1797)).
+- Expose per-tree RocksDB tuning options ([#1782](https://github.com/0xMiden/node/pull/1782)).
 - Added verbose `info!`-level logging to the network transaction builder for transaction execution, note filtering failures, and transaction outcomes ([#1770](https://github.com/0xMiden/node/pull/1770)).
 - [BREAKING] Move block proving from Blocker Producer to the Store ([#1579](https://github.com/0xMiden/node/pull/1579)).
 - [BREAKING] Updated miden-base dependencies to use `next` branch; renamed `NoteInputs` to `NoteStorage`, `.inputs()` to `.storage()`, and database `inputs` column to `storage` ([#1595](https://github.com/0xMiden/node/pull/1595)).

+# Miden Genesis
+
+A tool for generating canonical Miden genesis accounts and configuration.
+
+## Usage
+
+Generate all genesis accounts with fresh keypairs:
+
+```bash
+miden-genesis --output-dir ./genesis
+```
+
+Provide existing Falcon512 public keys (both must be specified together):
+
+```bash
+miden-genesis --output-dir ./genesis \
+  --bridge-admin-public-key <HEX> \
+  --ger-manager-public-key <HEX>
+```
+
+## Output
+
+The tool generates the following files in the output directory:
+
+- `bridge_admin.mac` - Bridge admin wallet (nonce=0, deployed later via transaction)
+- `ger_manager.mac` - GER manager wallet (nonce=0, deployed later via transaction)
+- `bridge.mac` - AggLayer bridge account (nonce=1, included in genesis block)
+- `genesis.toml` - Genesis configuration referencing only `bridge.mac`
+
+When public keys are omitted, the `.mac` files for bridge admin and GER manager include generated secret keys. When public keys are provided, no secret keys are included.
+
+The bridge account always uses NoAuth and has no secret keys.
+
+## Bootstrapping a node
+
+```bash
+# 1. Generate genesis accounts
+miden-genesis --output-dir ./genesis
+
+# 2. Bootstrap the genesis block
+miden-node validator bootstrap \
+  --genesis-block-directory ./data \
+  --accounts-directory ./accounts \
+  --genesis-config-file ./genesis/genesis.toml \
+  --validator.key.hex <validator_key>
+
+# 3. Bootstrap the store
+miden-node store bootstrap --data-directory ./data
+
+# 4. Start the node
+miden-node bundled start --data-directory ./data ...
+```
+
+## TODO
+
+- Support ECDSA (secp256k1) public keys in addition to Falcon512 (e.g. `--bridge-admin-public-key ecdsa:<HEX>`)
+
+## License
+
