Getting Started

Quick Start

1. Docker Deployment

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/rctlabs/ecosystem.git
cd ecosystem

# Start all services
docker-compose up -d

# Verify health
curl http://localhost:8003/health

2. SDK Usage

import { RCT } from '@rctlabs/sdk';

const client = new RCT({
  apiKey: process.env.RCT_API_KEY
});

// JITNA Protocol: I/D/Delta/A/R/M
const result = await client.execute({
  I: "analyze",
  D: data,
  A: "summarize",
  verify: true  // SignedAI consensus
});
