+
+```
+🏠 Home > Settings
+```
+
+### Swap History
+
+```
+🏠 Home > Swap History
+```
+
+### Admin Dashboard
+
+```
+🏠 Home > Admin
+```
+
+### Deep Navigation
+
+```
+🏠 Home > Dashboard > Swaps > Swap #ABC123 > Transaction Details
+```
+
+## Component Variants
+
+### With Home Icon (Default)
+
+```tsx
+<Breadcrumb items={breadcrumbs} />
+// Result: 🏠 Home > Dashboard > Settings
+```
+
+### Without Home Icon
+
+```tsx
+<Breadcrumb items={breadcrumbs} showHomeIcon={false} />
+// Result: Home > Dashboard > Settings
+```
+
+### Custom Styling
+
+```tsx
+<Breadcrumb items={breadcrumbs} className="mb-8" />
+// Result: Same breadcrumb with 32px bottom margin
+```
+
+## Animation
+
+### Hover Transition
+
+- Duration: `150ms` (fast)
+- Easing: `ease-in-out`
+- Properties: `color`, `background-color`
+
+### Focus Transition
+
+- Instant ring appearance
+- No animation on focus (accessibility requirement)
+
+## Browser Rendering
+
+### Chrome/Edge
+
+```
+🏠 Home › Dashboard › Settings
+```
+
+### Firefox
+
+```
+🏠 Home › Dashboard › Settings
+```
+
+### Safari
+
+```
+🏠 Home › Dashboard › Settings
+```
+
+All browsers render consistently with the same visual appearance.
+
+## Print Styles
+
+When printed, breadcrumbs:
+
+- Remove hover states
+- Keep link underlines
+- Use black text
+- Maintain hierarchy
+
+## Dark Mode
+
+The breadcrumb automatically adapts to dark mode:
+
+- Lighter text colors
+- Darker backgrounds on hover
+- Same focus ring color (teal)
+- Maintains contrast ratios
+
+## Comparison with Other Patterns
+
+### Breadcrumb (Hierarchical)
+
+```
+Home > Dashboard > Settings
+```
+
+### Tabs (Peer Navigation)
+
+```
+[Overview] [Settings] [Profile]
+```
+
+### Stepper (Sequential)
+
+```
+1. Details → 2. Review → 3. Confirm
+```
+
+Breadcrumbs are best for showing hierarchical location, not for peer navigation or sequential steps.

+
+### Documentation
+
+- `frontend/BREADCRUMB_IMPLEMENTATION.md` - This file
+
+## Files Modified
+
+The following pages have been updated to include breadcrumb navigation:
+
+1. `frontend/src/components/ui/index.ts` - Added breadcrumb exports
+2. `frontend/src/app/settings/page.tsx` - Added breadcrumbs
+3. `frontend/src/app/swaps/page.tsx` - Added breadcrumbs
+4. `frontend/src/app/dashboard/page.tsx` - Added breadcrumbs
+5. `frontend/src/app/admin/page.tsx` - Added breadcrumbs
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage (Automatic)
+
+The simplest way to add breadcrumbs to a page:
+
+```tsx
+import { Breadcrumb } from "@/components/ui";
+import { useBreadcrumbs } from "@/hooks/useBreadcrumbs";
+
+export default function MyPage() {
+  const breadcrumbs = useBreadcrumbs();
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <Breadcrumb items={breadcrumbs} />
+      {/* Page content */}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### With Custom Labels
+
+Override default labels for specific routes:
+
+```tsx
+const breadcrumbs = useBreadcrumbs({
+  "user-123": "John Doe",
+  settings: "User Preferences",
+});
+```
+
+### Manual Control
+
+For complete control over breadcrumb items:
+
+```tsx
+import { useCustomBreadcrumbs } from "@/hooks/useBreadcrumbs";
+
+const breadcrumbs = useCustomBreadcrumbs([
+  { label: "Home", href: "/" },
+  { label: "Dashboard", href: "/dashboard" },
+  { label: "Profile", isCurrent: true },
+]);
+```
+
+## Component API
+
+### Breadcrumb Props
+
+| Prop           | Type               | Default     | Description                  |
+| -------------- | ------------------ | ----------- | ---------------------------- |
+| `items`        | `BreadcrumbItem[]` | required    | Array of breadcrumb items    |
+| `className`    | `string`           | `undefined` | Optional CSS class           |
+| `showHomeIcon` | `boolean`          | `true`      | Show home icon on first item |
+
+### BreadcrumbItem Type
+
+```typescript
+interface BreadcrumbItem {
+  label: string; // Display text
+  href?: string; // Link URL (omit for current page)
+  isCurrent?: boolean; // Mark as current page
+}
+```
+
+## Accessibility Features
+
+The breadcrumb component is fully accessible and follows WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines:
+
+### Semantic HTML
+
+- `<nav aria-label="Breadcrumb">` - Navigation landmark
+- `<ol>` - Ordered list structure
+- `<li>` - List items for each breadcrumb
+
+### ARIA Attributes
+
+- `aria-current="page"` - Marks the current page
+- `aria-hidden="true"` - Hides decorative separators
+- `aria-label="Breadcrumb"` - Labels the navigation region
+
+### Keyboard Navigation
+
+- **Tab** - Move to next breadcrumb link
+- **Shift+Tab** - Move to previous breadcrumb link
+- **Enter/Space** - Activate focused link
+
+### Visual Indicators
+
+- Visible focus ring on keyboard navigation
+- High contrast focus indicators (2px ring with offset)
+- Hover states for interactive elements
+- Clear visual distinction between current and linked items
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+All tests pass successfully:
+
+- 17 component tests
+- 12 hook tests
+- 29 total tests
+
+Run tests with:
+
+```bash
+npm test -- breadcrumb
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+- ✅ Rendering breadcrumb items
+- ✅ Link generation
+- ✅ Current page indication
+- ✅ ARIA attributes
+- ✅ Home icon display
+- ✅ Separators
+- ✅ Empty state
+- ✅ Custom className
+- ✅ Single item
+- ✅ Deep hierarchy
+- ✅ Route label mappings
+- ✅ Custom labels
+- ✅ Pathname changes
+- ✅ Memoization
+
+## Storybook
+
+View all breadcrumb variations in Storybook:
+
+```bash
+npm run storybook
+```
+
+Navigate to **UI > Breadcrumb** to see:
+
+- Default breadcrumb
+- With/without home icon
+- Deep hierarchy
+- Long labels
+- Keyboard navigation demo
+- Empty state
+
+## Route Label Mappings
+
+The `useBreadcrumbs` hook includes predefined labels for common routes:
+
+```typescript
+const ROUTE_LABELS = {
+  dashboard: "Dashboard",
+  swap: "Swap",
+  swaps: "Swap History",
+  marketplace: "Marketplace",
+  orders: "Orders",
+  htlcs: "HTLCs",
+  settings: "Settings",
+  protocol: "Protocol",
+  transactions: "Transactions",
+  admin: "Admin",
+  analytics: "Analytics",
+  notifications: "Notifications",
+  browse: "Browse",
+  tracking: "Tracking",
+  examples: "Examples",
+  components: "Components",
+};
+```
+
+For unlisted routes, the hook automatically formats the segment:
+
+- Replaces hyphens/underscores with spaces
+- Capitalizes each word
+- Example: `user-profile` → "User Profile"
+

+    {/* Admin dashboard content */}
+  </div>
+);
+```
+
+## Design System Integration
+
+The breadcrumb component follows the existing design system:
+
+### Colors
+
+- `text-text-primary` - Current page text
+- `text-text-secondary` - Link text
+- `text-text-muted` - Separator icons
+- `text-brand-500` - Focus ring
+
+### Spacing
+
+- `gap-1.5` - Space between items and separators
+- `px-2 py-1` - Link padding
+- `mb-6` - Bottom margin in page layouts
+
+### Typography
+
+- `text-sm` - Font size
+- `font-medium` - Current page weight
+
+### Transitions
+
+- `duration-[var(--motion-fast)]` - Hover transitions
+- Smooth color changes on hover/focus
+
+### Focus States
+
+- 2px ring with brand color
+- 2px offset from element
+- Visible on keyboard navigation only
+
+## Browser Support
+
+The breadcrumb component works in all modern browsers:
+
+- Chrome/Edge 90+
+- Firefox 88+
+- Safari 14+
+- Mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Chrome Mobile)
+
+## Performance
+
+The breadcrumb component is optimized for performance:
+
+### Memoization
+
+- `useBreadcrumbs` uses `useMemo` to prevent unnecessary recalculations
+- Only recalculates when pathname or custom labels change
+
+### Bundle Size
+
+- Minimal impact on bundle size
+- Uses existing dependencies (lucide-react, Next.js)
+- No additional external dependencies
+
+### Rendering
+
+- Lightweight component with minimal DOM nodes
+- No expensive computations
+- Fast initial render and updates
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements for future iterations:
+
+1. **Breadcrumb Truncation** - Collapse middle items on very deep hierarchies
+2. **Mobile Optimization** - Show only last 2-3 items on small screens
+3. **Schema.org Markup** - Add structured data for SEO
+4. **Breadcrumb Dropdown** - Allow navigation to any parent level via dropdown
+5. **Animation** - Subtle transitions when breadcrumbs change
+6. **Customizable Separators** - Allow custom separator icons/text
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### Adding New Route Labels
+
+To add labels for new routes, update the `ROUTE_LABELS` object in `frontend/src/hooks/useBreadcrumbs.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+const ROUTE_LABELS: Record<string, string> = {
+  // ... existing labels
+  "new-route": "New Route Label",
+};
+```
+
+### Updating Styles
+
+Breadcrumb styles are defined in `frontend/src/components/ui/breadcrumb.tsx`. Use Tailwind utility classes and follow the existing design system patterns.
+
+### Testing Changes
+
+After making changes:
+
+1. Run unit tests: `npm test -- breadcrumb`
+2. Check TypeScript: `npm run type-check`
+3. View in Storybook: `npm run storybook`
+4. Test keyboard navigation manually
+

+# Breadcrumb Navigation - Quick Start Guide
+
+## 5-Minute Integration Guide
+
+### Step 1: Import the Components
+
+```tsx
+import { Breadcrumb } from "@/components/ui";
+import { useBreadcrumbs } from "@/hooks/useBreadcrumbs";
+```
+
+### Step 2: Add to Your Page
+
+```tsx
+export default function MyPage() {
+  const breadcrumbs = useBreadcrumbs();
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <Breadcrumb items={breadcrumbs} />
+      {/* Your page content */}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+That's it! The breadcrumbs will automatically reflect your route hierarchy.
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Basic Page (Most Common)
+
+```tsx
+"use client";
+
+import { Breadcrumb } from "@/components/ui";
+import { useBreadcrumbs } from "@/hooks/useBreadcrumbs";
+
+export default function SettingsPage() {
+  const breadcrumbs = useBreadcrumbs();
+
+  return (
+    <div className="container mx-auto max-w-5xl px-4 py-12">
+      <Breadcrumb items={breadcrumbs} />
+      <h1>Settings</h1>
+      {/* Page content */}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: With Custom Labels
+
+```tsx
+export default function UserProfilePage({ params }: { params: { id: string } }) {
+  const breadcrumbs = useBreadcrumbs({
+    [params.id]: "John Doe", // Replace ID with user name
+  });
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <Breadcrumb items={breadcrumbs} />
+      {/* Page content */}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Manual Control
+
+```tsx
+import { useCustomBreadcrumbs } from "@/hooks/useBreadcrumbs";
+
+export default function CustomPage() {
+  const breadcrumbs = useCustomBreadcrumbs([
+    { label: "Home", href: "/" },
+    { label: "Custom Section", href: "/custom" },
+    { label: "Current Page", isCurrent: true },
+  ]);
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <Breadcrumb items={breadcrumbs} />
+      {/* Page content */}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Props Reference
+
+### Breadcrumb Component
+
+```tsx
+<Breadcrumb
+  items={breadcrumbs} // Required: Array of breadcrumb items
+  showHomeIcon={true} // Optional: Show home icon (default: true)
+  className="custom-class" // Optional: Additional CSS classes
+/>
+```
+
+### BreadcrumbItem Type
+
+```typescript
+interface BreadcrumbItem {
+  label: string; // Display text
+  href?: string; // Link URL (omit for current page)
+  isCurrent?: boolean; // Mark as current page
+}
+```
+
+## Examples by Route Type
+
+### Static Route
+
+```tsx
+// Route: /settings
+const breadcrumbs = useBreadcrumbs();
+// Result: Home > Settings
+```
+
+### Nested Route
+
+```tsx
+// Route: /dashboard/settings
+const breadcrumbs = useBreadcrumbs();
+// Result: Home > Dashboard > Settings
+```
+
+### Dynamic Route
+
+```tsx
+// Route: /users/[id]
+const breadcrumbs = useBreadcrumbs({
+  [userId]: userName,
+});
+// Result: Home > Users > John Doe
+```
+
+### Deep Hierarchy
+
+```tsx
+// Route: /dashboard/swaps/abc123/details
+const breadcrumbs = useBreadcrumbs({
+  abc123: "Swap #ABC123",
+});
+// Result: Home > Dashboard > Swap History > Swap #ABC123 > Details
+```
+
+## Styling Tips
+
+### Standard Layout (Recommended)
+
+```tsx
+<div className="container mx-auto max-w-5xl px-4 py-12">
+  <div className="mb-6">
+    <Breadcrumb items={breadcrumbs} />
+  </div>
+  {/* Page content */}
+</div>
+```
+
+### Compact Layout
+
+```tsx
+<div className="mb-4">
+  <Breadcrumb items={breadcrumbs} />
+</div>
+```
+
+### Without Home Icon
+
+```tsx
+<Breadcrumb items={breadcrumbs} showHomeIcon={false} />
+```
+
+## Predefined Route Labels
+
+These routes have predefined labels:
+
+| Route            | Label         |
+| ---------------- | ------------- |
+| `/dashboard`     | Dashboard     |
+| `/swap`          | Swap          |
+| `/swaps`         | Swap History  |
+| `/marketplace`   | Marketplace   |
+| `/orders`        | Orders        |
+| `/htlcs`         | HTLCs         |
+| `/settings`      | Settings      |
+| `/protocol`      | Protocol      |
+| `/transactions`  | Transactions  |
+| `/admin`         | Admin         |
+| `/analytics`     | Analytics     |
+| `/notifications` | Notifications |
+
+Other routes are automatically formatted (e.g., `user-profile` → "User Profile").
+
+## Testing Your Implementation
+
+### Visual Check
+
+1. Navigate to your page
+2. Verify breadcrumbs appear at the top
+3. Check that the current page is not a link
+4. Verify all parent pages are clickable links
+
+### Keyboard Navigation
+
+1. Press Tab to focus on first breadcrumb link
+2. Verify visible focus ring appears
+3. Press Tab again to move to next link
+4. Press Enter to navigate
+
+### Screen Reader
+
+1. Enable screen reader
+2. Navigate to breadcrumbs
+3. Verify "Breadcrumb navigation" is announced
+4. Verify current page is marked as "current page"
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Breadcrumbs not showing?
+
+- Check that you're not on the home page (`/`)
+- Verify the import paths are correct
+- Ensure the component is inside a client component (`"use client"`)
+
+### Wrong labels?
+
+- Add custom labels via `useBreadcrumbs({ "route": "Label" })`
+- Check the predefined labels in `useBreadcrumbs.ts`
+
+### Styling issues?
+
+- Ensure Tailwind CSS is configured
+- Check that design system tokens are available
+- Verify no conflicting CSS

+# Breadcrumb Component
+
+A breadcrumb navigation component for displaying hierarchical page structure with full accessibility support.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ **Route Hierarchy**: Automatically reflects the current route structure
+- ✅ **Current Page Indication**: Properly marks the active page with `aria-current="page"`
+- ✅ **Keyboard Navigation**: Full keyboard support with visible focus indicators
+- ✅ **Accessibility**: WCAG compliant with proper ARIA labels and semantic HTML
+- ✅ **Customizable**: Support for custom labels and manual breadcrumb control
+- ✅ **Responsive**: Wraps gracefully on smaller screens
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Automatic Breadcrumbs
+
+The simplest way to use breadcrumbs is with the `useBreadcrumbs()` hook, which automatically generates breadcrumbs from the current route:
+
+```tsx
+import { Breadcrumb } from "@/components/ui";
+import { useBreadcrumbs } from "@/hooks/useBreadcrumbs";
+
+export default function MyPage() {
+  const breadcrumbs = useBreadcrumbs();
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <Breadcrumb items={breadcrumbs} />
+      {/* Page content */}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Custom Labels
+
+Override default route labels with custom text:
+
+```tsx
+const breadcrumbs = useBreadcrumbs({
+  "user-123": "John Doe",
+  settings: "User Settings",
+});
+```
+
+### Manual Control
+
+For complete control over breadcrumb items:
+
+```tsx
+import { useCustomBreadcrumbs } from "@/hooks/useBreadcrumbs";
+
+const breadcrumbs = useCustomBreadcrumbs([
+  { label: "Home", href: "/" },
+  { label: "Dashboard", href: "/dashboard" },
+  { label: "Profile", isCurrent: true },
+]);
+```
+
+## Props
+
+### Breadcrumb Component
+
+| Prop           | Type               | Default     | Description                                    |
+| -------------- | ------------------ | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| `items`        | `BreadcrumbItem[]` | required    | Array of breadcrumb items to display           |
+| `className`    | `string`           | `undefined` | Optional className for the container           |
+| `showHomeIcon` | `boolean`          | `true`      | Whether to show a home icon for the first item |
+
+### BreadcrumbItem Type
+
+```typescript
+interface BreadcrumbItem {
+  label: string; // Display label for the breadcrumb
+  href?: string; // URL path for the breadcrumb link
+  isCurrent?: boolean; // Whether this is the current/active page
+}
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Basic Three-Level Breadcrumb
+
+```tsx
+<Breadcrumb
+  items={[
+    { label: "Home", href: "/" },
+    { label: "Dashboard", href: "/dashboard" },
+    { label: "Settings", isCurrent: true },
+  ]}
+/>
+```
+
+### Deep Hierarchy
+
+```tsx
+<Breadcrumb
+  items={[
+    { label: "Home", href: "/" },
+    { label: "Dashboard", href: "/dashboard" },
+    { label: "Swaps", href: "/swaps" },
+    { label: "Swap #12345", href: "/swaps/12345" },
+    { label: "Transaction Details", isCurrent: true },
+  ]}
+/>
+```
+
+### Without Home Icon
+
+```tsx
+<Breadcrumb items={breadcrumbs} showHomeIcon={false} />
+```
+
+## Accessibility
+
+The breadcrumb component follows WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines:
+
+### Keyboard Navigation
+
+- **Tab**: Navigate between breadcrumb links
+- **Enter/Space**: Activate the focused link
+- **Shift+Tab**: Navigate backwards
+
+### ARIA Attributes
+
+- `<nav aria-label="Breadcrumb">`: Identifies the navigation landmark
+- `aria-current="page"`: Marks the current page
+- `aria-hidden="true"`: Hides decorative separators from screen readers
+
+### Semantic HTML
+
+- Uses `<nav>` element for navigation landmark
+- Uses `<ol>` (ordered list) for breadcrumb structure
+- Uses `<li>` for each breadcrumb item
+
+### Focus Indicators
+
+- Visible focus ring on keyboard navigation
+- High contrast focus indicators
+- Consistent with the design system
+
+## Hooks
+
+### useBreadcrumbs(customLabels?)
+
+Automatically generates breadcrumb items from the current route.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `customLabels` (optional): Record of custom labels to override defaults
+
+**Returns:** `BreadcrumbItem[]`
+
+**Example:**
+
+```tsx
+const breadcrumbs = useBreadcrumbs({
+  dashboard: "My Dashboard",
+  settings: "Preferences",
+});
+```
+
+### useCustomBreadcrumbs(items)
+
+Returns the provided breadcrumb items unchanged. Useful for manual control.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `items`: Array of `BreadcrumbItem` objects
+
+**Returns:** `BreadcrumbItem[]`
+
+**Example:**
+
+```tsx
+const breadcrumbs = useCustomBreadcrumbs([
+  { label: "Home", href: "/" },
+  { label: "Custom Page", isCurrent: true },
+]);
+```
+
+## Route Label Mappings
+
+The `useBreadcrumbs` hook includes predefined labels for common routes:
+
+- `dashboard` → "Dashboard"
+- `swap` → "Swap"
+- `swaps` → "Swap History"
+- `marketplace` → "Marketplace"
+- `orders` → "Orders"
+- `htlcs` → "HTLCs"
+- `settings` → "Settings"
+- `protocol` → "Protocol"
+- `transactions` → "Transactions"
+- `admin` → "Admin"
+- `analytics` → "Analytics"
+- `notifications` → "Notifications"
+
+For routes not in this list, the hook will automatically format the segment by:
+
+1. Replacing hyphens and underscores with spaces
+2. Capitalizing each word
+
+Example: `user-profile` → "User Profile"
+
+## Styling
+
+The breadcrumb component uses Tailwind CSS classes and follows the design system:
+
+- **Colors**: Uses semantic color tokens (`text-text-primary`, `text-text-secondary`, etc.)
+- **Spacing**: Consistent with the design system spacing scale
+- **Typography**: Uses the default font stack with appropriate sizes
+- **Transitions**: Smooth hover and focus transitions
+- **Responsive**: Wraps gracefully on smaller screens
+
+## Testing
+
+The component includes comprehensive unit tests covering:
+
+- Rendering breadcrumb items
+- Link generation
+- Current page indication
+- ARIA attributes
+- Keyboard navigation
+- Custom labels
+- Edge cases (empty, single item, deep hierarchy)
+
+Run tests with:
+
+```bash
+npm test breadcrumb
+```
+
+## Storybook
+
+View all breadcrumb variations in Storybook:
+
+```bash
+npm run storybook
+```
+
+Navigate to **UI > Breadcrumb** to see:
+
+- Default breadcrumb
+- With/without home icon
+- Deep hierarchy
+- Custom labels
+- Keyboard navigation demo
+
+## Integration Examples
+
+See the following pages for real-world usage:
+
+- `/app/settings/page.tsx` - Settings page with breadcrumbs
+- `/app/swaps/page.tsx` - Swap history with breadcrumbs
+- `/app/dashboard/page.tsx` - Dashboard with breadcrumbs
+- `/app/admin/page.tsx` - Admin dashboard with breadcrumbs
+- `/app/examples/breadcrumbs/page.tsx` - Comprehensive examples
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always include breadcrumbs on detail pages** - They help users understand their location in the site hierarchy
+2. **Use automatic breadcrumbs when possible** - The `useBreadcrumbs()` hook handles most cases
+3. **Provide custom labels for dynamic routes** - Use the `customLabels` parameter for user-specific or ID-based routes
+4. **Don't use breadcrumbs on top-level pages** - The home page doesn't need breadcrumbs
+5. **Keep labels concise** - Long labels can wrap awkwardly on mobile devices
+6. **Test keyboard navigation** - Ensure all links are reachable via Tab key
+
+## Browser Support
+
+The breadcrumb component works in all modern browsers:
+
+- Chrome/Edge 90+
+- Firefox 88+
+- Safari 14+
+- Mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Chrome Mobile)
+
+## Related Components
+
+- **Navbar** - Top-level navigation
+- **Sidebar** - Primary navigation menu
+- **Pagination** - Navigate through lists
