Functionality of API Key NFTs in CloudAI

Wallet Connection and Portal Access: API Key owners can connect their crypto wallets to the CloudAI portal. This access enables them to view and manage their API keys.

Key Management: Possessing an API Key NFT grants the ability to view the associated API key within the portal. Owners can revoke a compromised key and reissue a new one, incurring only a nominal administrative fee. The platform also allows for the sale of API keys on its marketplace, ensuring authenticity and security without exposing the actual keys.

Integration with Chat Platforms: Developers can copy their API key from the CloudAI portal and register it with the ClaudIA bot on Telegram or Discord. This process links the bot to their user account and the specific API key.

Bot Functionality Linked to API Key Status: The ClaudIA bot remains operational as long as the associated API key is valid and unrevoked. If an API key expires or is revoked, the bot ceases to function until a new, valid API key is provided.

Limitations and Flexibility: Users are permitted to hold multiple API keys, but each ClaudIA bot instance is restricted to operate in only one chat at a time, using a singular API key.

This limitation is managed through the interfaces of the Telegram and Discord bots.

This system ensures that API keys are secure, manageable, and flexible, catering to the needs of developers while maintaining the integrity and functionality of the ClaudIA chatbot.
