TODO

• Develop multi-language SDKs (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, Rust, etc.)
• Implement full-stack components: client, server, discovery, evaluation server, chat API
• Provide unified interfaces for Cashu wallet management, API key rotation, proxy/anonymity
• Expose high-level abstractions in SDKs (token management, API key rotation, provider selection, proxy/Tor integration, secure flows)
• Smart clients: automated token cycling/top-up, per-request API key rotation, proxy/Tor circuit selection
• Dynamic provider discovery and scoring (price, latency, rating, reliability)
• Pluggable architecture for custom scoring, proxy, or wallet backends
• Reference implementations for server, discovery, and evaluation endpoints in each language
• Standardized APIs for provider registration, health, and metrics
• Modular evaluation server for benchmarking and rating providers
• Chat API reference implementations (real-time and batch)
• Built-in proxy and Tor routing in all SDKs and clients
• Automated rotation of API keys and tokens
• Rate limiting and circuit rotation to prevent fingerprinting
• Define core protocol interfaces and data models in each language
• Maintain open-source SDKs and reference servers
• Ensure feature parity and cross-language test suites
• Document integration patterns and privacy best practices

RIP-05: SDKs & Smart Clients

This RIP proposes a comprehensive suite of SDKs and Smart Client libraries across multiple programming languages, enabling seamless integration with the protocol and ensuring robust privacy, payment, and provider management.

Scope

• Multi-language SDKs: Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, Rust, and others as needed.
• Full-stack implementations for:
  • Client
  • Server
  • Discovery
  • Evaluation Server
  • Chat API
• Unified interfaces for Cashu wallet management, API key rotation, and proxy/anonymity features.

Components

1. SDKs

• Provide idiomatic libraries in each language for all protocol operations.
• Expose high-level abstractions for:
  • Token management (Cashu wallets)
  • API key rotation
  • Provider selection and scoring
  • Proxy/Tor integration for request anonymization
  • Secure, stateless request/response flows

2. Smart Clients

• Automated token cycling and top-up from Cashu wallets.
• Per-request API key rotation and proxy/Tor circuit selection.
• Dynamic provider discovery and scoring (price, latency, rating, reliability).
• Pluggable architecture for custom scoring, proxy, or wallet backends.

3. Server & Discovery

• Reference implementations for server, discovery, and evaluation endpoints in each supported language.
• Standardized APIs for provider registration, health, and metrics reporting.

4. Evaluation Server & Chat API

• Modular evaluation server for benchmarking and rating providers.
• Chat API reference implementations for real-time and batch inference.

Privacy & Security

• Built-in support for proxy and Tor routing in all SDKs and clients.
• Automated rotation of API keys and tokens to minimize linkability.
• Rate limiting and circuit rotation to prevent fingerprinting.

Implementation Plan

• Define core protocol interfaces and data models in each language.
• Develop and maintain open-source SDKs and reference servers.
• Ensure feature parity and cross-language test suites.
• Document integration patterns and privacy best practices.
