Setup (one-time)
-
Install the SDK:
pip install blockrun-llm -
Get USDC on Base network:
- Bridge from Ethereum: https://bridge.base.org
- Or buy directly on Coinbase and withdraw to Base
- You need ~$1-5 USDC to start generating images
-
Set your wallet private key:
# Copy .env.example to .env and add your key cp .env.example .env # Or export directly export BLOCKRUN_WALLET_KEY=0x...
Network: Base (Chain ID: 8453) Payment: USDC only
Generate an Image
from blockrun_llm import ImageClient
client = ImageClient()
result = client.generate("a cute cat wearing a space helmet")
print(result.data[0].url)
Or use the script:
python scripts/generate.py "a cute cat wearing a space helmet"
# Save to a specific directory

How It Works
- Your request goes to BlockRun API (https://blockrun.ai)
- BlockRun returns HTTP 402 Payment Required
- SDK signs USDC payment locally (key never leaves your machine)
- Only the signature is sent to server
- Image is generated and returned
No API keys, no subscriptions - just crypto micropayments.
Security
Your private key NEVER leaves your machine.
The SDK uses EIP-712 typed data signing locally. Only the signature is transmitted. Same security as signing any MetaMask transaction.
