Developer Setup

Configure your application to authenticate via rNet, empowering users to connect their wallets and spend their own AI credits directly within your product.

Unified Accounts & Developer Upgrades

rNet features a unified sign-in and registration flow. By default, every account is provisioned as a standard User. To access powerful developer tools, you must explicitly upgrade your account role from your profile settings.

Initialize Your Account

Visit the rNet platform and register or log in using your email address. There are no separate developer and user accounts—everyone uses the same unified portal.

Upgrade to Developer Role

Click on your Profile in the top navigation bar. From the account menu, select Upgrade to Developer. You will be prompted to insert your password and confirm the role update. Once confirmed, your account instantly unlocks full dashboard access.

1. Click on your profile and select 'Upgrade to Developer'.

Upgrade to Developer Confirmation — 2. Confirm the upgrade by entering your password.

Access the Command Center

Click Dashboard in the top navigation bar. You will be routed to your primary developer dashboard, displaying real-time wallet balances, registered client applications, and integration resources.

Dashboard Capabilities

Your dashboard provides absolute control:

Wallet Balance: Monitor your centralized rNet credit pool, universally accessible across all connected apps.
Application Registry: View all active applications and their associated Client IDs. Provision new applications by clicking + New.
Developer Resources: Instant access to SDKs, API references, and integration guides.

Integration Checklist

Create and verify your rNet account.
Upgrade your role to Developer from your profile settings.
Access the Dashboard from the top navigation.
Provision your first application (see App Registration).
Securely export your Client ID and Client Secret into your backend environment.
Initialize the official rNet SDK for your stack (SDK Overview).
Implement the OAuth2 flow to allow users to authenticate and authorize credit usage.

Credential Security

Your Client Secret is generated and displayed only once during registration. It must be immediately stored in your backend environment variables (e.g., .env). Never commit this secret to version control or expose it to client-side code.
