For developers who want to call Lightchain AI inference from their own code. Read these in order.

The Developer API is live on Testnet (chain 8200) only. It is not live on Mainnet yet.

Quickstart: the first call from the OpenAI SDK, and the two things it needs first: an API key and a funded prepaid balance.
API Keys: sign in with your wallet, mint a key, and cap what it can spend.
TypeScript SDK: @lightchainai/sdk sets the network for you and, given a wallet, tops up your prepaid balance by itself.
