Getting Started

Perceptron is a Crypto-native NeoCloud. It gives you frontier AI models, AI agents, and agentic tools behind a single API, billed in USDT. No account, no email, no credit card. Your EVM wallet address is your identity.

You can use Perceptron through any of these frontends:

The Perceptron web app (primary) at perceptron.cloud/web. A browser dashboard with wallet login, credits, API keys, personas, domains, feeds, and metrics.
The Perceptron TUI, an optional keyboard-driven terminal UI. See TUI Installation.
The Perceptron Telegram bot at t.me/perceptrontgbot. Chat with personas, manage credits and keys from Telegram.
The Perceptron API directly, from any agent harness, SDK, or curl. See API Reference.

Get Started in the Web App

1. Log in

Open perceptron.cloud/web and connect an EVM wallet (MetaMask, Phantom, Trust, Base wallet, etc.). On mobile, the page offers deep-links to wallet apps. Your wallet address becomes your username.

2. Buy credits

All services bill from a single prepaid credits balance. 1 credit = $1.

Open the Wallet page in the web app.
Send USDT to the Perceptron receiving address shown on the Wallet page, on one of the supported chains (Base is recommended for low gas). Send at least $5, in whole dollars.
Open Buy Credits, enter the whole-dollar amount you sent (e.g. 25), select the chain you sent on, paste your transaction hash, and confirm.

Credits appear in your balance after a few seconds of on-chain confirmation and can immediately be used across all services. See Billing for the full flow and supported networks.

3. Generate an API key

Open the Keys page in the web app.
Click New Key, choose a label, and confirm.
Copy the pct-... key. It is shown once.

You can manage multiple API keys and revoke them from the same page. Track usage on the Metrics page.

4. Make your first API call

curl https://perceptron.cloud/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PERCEPTRON_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
  "model": "moonshotai/kimi-k2.6",
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "What is the capital of Japan?"
    }
  ]
}'
