BlockRun Solana Wallet Setup Guide
This guide explains how to use a Solana wallet to pay for AI usage through BlockRun — no API key required.
What is BlockRun?
BlockRun is a decentralized AI inference gateway that lets you access top AI models (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, etc.) by paying per request with USDC — no monthly subscriptions, no API key signups.
NOFX integrates BlockRun via the x402 micropayment protocol on Solana: each AI inference request automatically pays a small USDC fee directly from your wallet.
Prerequisites
- A Solana wallet with USDC on Solana mainnet
- The wallet private key (base58-encoded, 64 bytes — standard Solana keypair format)
Getting USDC on Solana
- Buy SOL on any exchange and withdraw to your Solana wallet, then swap to USDC on Jupiter, or
- Buy USDC directly on an exchange and withdraw to Solana, or
- Bridge from other chains using Wormhole
Tip: A few dollars of USDC is plenty to start.
Step 1: Export Your Solana Private Key
⚠️ Security Warning: Use a dedicated wallet for NOFX — not your main holdings wallet.
From Phantom Wallet:
- Open Phantom → Settings (gear icon)
- Security & Privacy → Export Private Key
- Enter your password
- Copy the base58 key (looks like:
5J...— a long string of ~88 characters)
From Solflare:
- Settings → Export Private Key
- The key is displayed in base58 format
From CLI (solana-keygen):
# View existing keypair
cat ~/.config/solana/id.json
# This is a JSON array — convert to base58 using:
solana-keygen pubkey ~/.config/solana/id.json
Note: NOFX accepts the base58-encoded 64-byte keypair (as exported by Phantom/Solflare). This is the standard format for Solana private keys.
Step 2: Fund the Wallet with USDC on Solana
Send USDC to your Solana wallet:
- USDC SPL token mint:
EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v - Network: Solana Mainnet
- Recommended starting amount: $5–$20 USDC
Check your balance at solscan.io or in your wallet app.
Step 3: Configure in NOFX
- Open NOFX at
http://localhost:3000 - Log in and go to Config tab
- Click + Add AI Model
- In Step 0, scroll to Via BlockRun Wallet section
- Select BlockRun · Solana Wallet
- In Step 1, configure:
- Wallet Private Key: Your base58-encoded Solana private key
- Select Model: Choose from Claude Opus, GPT-5.4, Gemini 3 Pro, Grok 3, DeepSeek R1, or leave as Auto for best available
- Click Save
How Payment Works
When NOFX sends an AI request:
- Request goes to
https://sol.blockrun.ai/api/v1/chat/completions - Server responds with HTTP
402 Payment Required+ payment details (nonce, recipient, amount) - NOFX signs the payment message
blockrun-payment:{nonce}:{recipient}:{amount}with your Ed25519 private key - Payment signature is attached and request is retried
- BlockRun verifies the Ed25519 signature on-chain and routes to the AI model
Privacy: Your private key never leaves your NOFX instance. Only the cryptographic signature is sent.

Security Best Practices
- ✅ Use a dedicated trading wallet with only your AI budget
- ✅ Keep only a small USDC balance (top up as needed)
- ✅ Your private key is AES-256 encrypted at rest in NOFX's database
- ✅ Ed25519 signatures are one-time — each authorizes only one specific payment
- ❌ Never use your main SOL holdings wallet as the NOFX trading wallet
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
unexpected key length |
Ensure you exported the full 64-byte keypair (not just the 32-byte seed) |
failed to decode base58 |
Key must be base58 encoded (standard Phantom/Solflare export format) |
payment retry failed |
Ensure you have USDC on Solana mainnet (not devnet) |
| No response from server | Check sol.blockrun.ai is reachable from your server |
| Slow responses | Try selecting a specific model instead of "Auto" |
Monitoring Spend
Check your USDC balance and transaction history at:
- Solscan — search your wallet address, filter by USDC token
- BlockRun dashboard — usage history
