    Venice.ai is an OpenAI-compatible inference API supporting text, image,
    audio, and video generation.


    **Authentication options:**

    - API Key: Use Bearer token in Authorization header

    - x402 Wallet: Use USDC credits via EVM or Solana wallet (no account
    required)


    **For x402 wallet access:**

    1. POST /x402/top-up without headers to get payment requirements

    2. Choose one of the returned Base or Solana payment options and sign a USDC
    payment using the x402 SDK

    3. POST /x402/top-up with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header to add credits

    4. Call any inference endpoint with SIGN-IN-WITH-X header


    **Pricing:** Prepaid credits consumed per request. Check /models for
    available models and their capabilities.

      Wallet-based API access using the x402 protocol. No API key required —
      authenticate with an EVM or Solana wallet.


      **How it works:**

      1. **Authenticate** — Send a `SIGN-IN-WITH-X` header (base64-encoded
      signed SIWX payload) with any request. EVM wallets sign an EIP-4361 SIWE
      message; Solana wallets sign the Solana SIWX message with Ed25519. See the
      `siwx` security scheme for the exact format.

      2. **Top up** — `POST /x402/top-up` without a payment header returns an
      `accepts` array with Base and Solana USDC payment options. Choose one
      entry, sign it using the x402 SDK (`npm install x402`), and re-submit with
      the `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header (the legacy `X-402-Payment` and `X-PAYMENT`
      names are also accepted).

      3. **Use any endpoint** — All inference endpoints (chat, image, audio,
      video, embeddings) accept `siwx` as an alternative to `BearerAuth`.
      Charges are deducted from your USDC credit balance.

      4. **Monitor balance** — `GET /x402/balance/{walletAddress}` returns your
      current balance. The `X-Balance-Remaining` response header on inference
      calls also reports it.


      **Quick start (5 lines):**

      ```

      import { VeniceClient } from '@venice-ai/x402-client'

      const venice = new VeniceClient(process.env.WALLET_KEY)

      await venice.topUp(10) // $10 USDC on a supported x402 rail

      const res = await venice.chat({ model: 'zai-org-glm-5-1', messages: [{
      role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }] })

      ```


      **Payment:** USDC on Base (chain ID 8453) or Solana mainnet. Minimum
      top-up: $5. Alternatively, stake DIEM tokens for daily credits (1 DIEM =
      $1/day).
