+## Continuous modes via Docker Compose
+
+Only one of the two services is meant to run at a time:
+- `continuous`: end-to-end continuous testing
+- `continuous-graffiti`: graffiti-only mode
+
+Defaults (Gnosis Chain):
+- `continuous`: `ENV_FILE=.env`
+- `continuous-graffiti`: `ENV_FILE=.mainnet-graffiti.env`
+- `DOCKER_NETWORK=keyper-metrics_default`
+- `BLAME_DIR=./data/blame`
+
+Chiado runs use `ENV_FILE=chiado.env`, `DOCKER_NETWORK=chiado-observer_default`, and a Chiado-specific `BLAME_DIR=$(pwd)/data/chiado-blame`.
+
+### Run commands
+- Gnosis / continuous: `docker compose up continuous`
+- Gnosis / continuous-graffiti: `docker compose up continuous-graffiti`
+- Chiado / continuous: `ENV_FILE=chiado.env DOCKER_NETWORK=chiado-observer_default BLAME_DIR="$(pwd)/data/chiado-blame" docker compose up continuous`
+- Chiado / continuous-graffiti: `ENV_FILE=chiado-graffiti.env DOCKER_NETWORK=chiado-observer_default BLAME_DIR="$(pwd)/data/chiado-graffiti-blame" docker compose up continuous-graffiti`
+- Custom blame dir (example mainnet graffiti folder): `BLAME_DIR="$(pwd)/data/graffiti-blame" docker compose up continuous-graffiti`
+
+### Run the same test on chiado and gnosis at the same time (using `-p`)
+- Continuous (gnosis): `docker compose -p continuous-gnosis up -d continuous`
+- Continuous (chiado): `ENV_FILE=chiado.env DOCKER_NETWORK=chiado-observer_default BLAME_DIR="$(pwd)/data/chiado-blame" docker compose -p continuous-chiado up -d continuous`
+- Graffiti (gnosis): `docker compose -p graffiti-gnosis up -d continuous-graffiti`
+- Graffiti (chiado): `ENV_FILE=chiado-graffiti.env DOCKER_NETWORK=chiado-observer_default BLAME_DIR="$(pwd)/data/chiado-graffiti-blame" docker compose -p graffiti-chiado up -d continuous-graffiti`
+- Stop both continuous stacks: `docker compose -p continuous-gnosis down && docker compose -p continuous-chiado down`
+- Stop both graffiti stacks: `docker compose -p graffiti-gnosis down && docker compose -p graffiti-chiado down`
+
+### Notes
+- `ENV_FILE` defaults to `.env` for `continuous` and `.mainnet-graffiti.env` for `continuous-graffiti`; override as needed.
+- `DOCKER_NETWORK` defaults to `keyper-metrics_default`; set it when you need `chiado-observer_default` (or any other external network that exists locally).
+- `BLAME_DIR` defaults to `./data/blame` for `continuous` and `./data/graffiti-mainnet-blame` for `continuous-graffiti`; set it per-chain (e.g., `$(pwd)/data/graffiti-chiado-blame`) to keep outputs separated.
