You pay USD or stablecoin. Orogen routes your inference to a TEE-attested operator on the tier you asked for, returns an OpenAI-shaped response, and hands you a signed receipt that anyone — including you — can verify. The integration cost is zero: every SDK is a drop-in OpenAI client plus four optional fields.

If you want a free chatbot, this is not for you. Orogen is metered compute priced against real GPU cost.

In this section

• Python SDK — orogen-sdk install, snippet, and the client-side verify_receipt helper.
• TypeScript SDK — @orogen/sdk install and snippet for browser or Node.
• Receipts (RFC-0001) — the signed receipt format and how the two verification paths (client-side best-effort, on-chain authoritative) compose.

What is OpenAI-shaped, and what is new

The wire format is OpenAI Chat Completions. Existing code that constructs a messages array, sets model, and reads choices[0].message.content works unchanged. The four additions are all optional and prefixed useful_*:

Field	Purpose
useful_nonce	Anti-replay nonce (see RFC-0007). The SDKs generate this for you.
useful_tier	Operator tier preference: dc-premium, dc-standard, cloud-rented, prosumer, edge, embed-only.
useful_region	Geo region. ISO 3166-1 alpha-2.
useful_max_price_per_million	Price cap, denominated in CUC per million tokens.
useful_verify_receipt	Opt-in client-side receipt verification on the response.

The response carries a useful_receipt blob (the RFC-0001 record) and, when useful_verify_receipt=true, a useful_verification summary with signature_valid, attestation_fresh, nonce_unique, model_in_registry, and overall.

LiteLLM provider

For stacks already on LiteLLM, the litellm-orogen-provider package plugs in without code changes:

model_list:
  - model_name: llama-3.1-70b
    litellm_params:
      model: orogen/llama-3.1-70b-instruct
      api_base: https://gateway.orogen.network/v1
      api_key: os.environ/OROGEN_API_KEY

What you cannot do today

• Pre-buy CUC beyond the 30-day expiry. CUC is non-transferable and expires; pre-buying months in advance defeats the burn-and-mint loop.
• Get a free tier. The lowest tier (embed-only) is priced at 0.10× of base — cheap, not free.
• Choose a specific operator by hotkey. The router picks; you constrain by tier, region, and price cap. The receipt tells you which operator served.
