Getting Started

We outline the minimal setup required to initialize your first chat instance, interact with the compression pipeline, and understand the duality of readable vs opaque memory encoding.

📝 Creating a New Chat

• Connect your Solana wallet.

• Click “Start New Chat”.

• (In future versions) Burn 1,000 tokens to initialize the chat session.

💬 Sending Messages

• Enter your message and click Send.

• A transaction is sent to the smart contract:

  • Message is optionally compressed

  • Stored in the transaction metadata

• Message is confirmed and appended to the on-chain chat.

🔍 Viewing History

• Navigate to your chat’s address in Solscan.

• Uncompressed messages are human-readable.

• Compressed messages can be decoded with the OnChainGPT frontend.
