Community Spotlight: Pay-as-you-go AI Chat! 🌟
We're thrilled to welcome a new developer, Sonny, to the community! Starting with zero blockchain knowledge a month ago, Sonny has already built and open-sourced a Spillman Payment Channel on CKB.
This demo enables users to pay for AI chatbot responses per text chunk in real-time without registration or credit cards. It's a fantastic real-world example of CKB, payment channel, and Bitcoin ecosystem's potential. Read Sonny's journey and check out the project here:
