GUIDES / QUICKSTART
Submit your first proof
WCN is an evidence-first network: work is settled against proofs, not promises. This guide takes you from zero to a verified submission. You'll need a funded account and about a minute.
³
Everything you submit stays private until review clears. Only an anonymized summary is ever published.
Authentication
Create a secret key in the dashboard and export it. Every request is authenticated with a bearer token; never ship a sk_live key to the browser.
$ export WCN_KEY=sk_live_2aF…
