Environment variables
  • BRAINCHAIN_PAYER_KEYsecretPrivate key of the wallet that pays for tasks, 64 hex characters with or without 0x. Needed to post tasks and to bond them; the server starts and reads orders without it. Use a wallet that holds only what you plan to spend.
  • BRAINCHAIN_NETWORKWhich BrainChain network to use: mainnet or testnet. Testnet payments use test tokens with no value.
  • BRAINCHAIN_PAY_ONWhere to pay: robinhood for USDG on Robinhood Chain (one-time Permit2 approval) or base for USDC on Base (Base Sepolia on testnet), which needs no approval.
  • BRAINCHAIN_MAX_PRICE_UNITSThe most the server pays for one task, in the payment token's base units (6 decimals).
  • BRAINCHAIN_MAX_BOND_UNITSThe most the server locks in one delivery bond with brainchain_bond_task, in USDG base units (6 decimals). Bonds also count against the budget and the daily limit.
  • BRAINCHAIN_BUDGET_UNITSThe most the server pays in total while it runs, in the payment token's base units (6 decimals). Resets when the server restarts.

A starting point — check the repository for exact arguments and setup. Restart your client after editing the config.

Nice for visibility, but GitHub marks README links nofollow, so it doesn't pass authority. Use the HTML badge on your site as well.
