vlayer Grant Project: API Key Access & zkTLS Integration
Summary
This announcement on the vlayer server addresses developer queries regarding API key access for grant projects and vlayer 2.0 dashboard waitlists. It highlights a technical use case involving an autonomous trading agent that utilizes zkTLS to verify Fear & Greed index data and DexScreener prices. The discussion provides valuable insight into how developers can implement web proofs to enhance on-chain identity and project functionality for the vlayer grants program.
I tried using the vlayer dashboard for creation of the API Key.
There is a no method through which I can currently access the API key as the dashboard has waitlist for 2.0.
If the API key token is provided I can successfully fully integrate the project to vlayer implementaiton so that the project is fully functional and valid for the grants program. Also if the token is absent, can I still submit the project without the proper integration and just leave it as a future progress for vlayer2.0 tech?
Please resolve the query regarding it.
Hello what project are you building?
I am building an autonomous, self-custody trading agent on BSC that doesn't just trade, it runs a two-sided agent economy on one on-chain identity: it buys its own CoinMarketCap data with
native x402 micropayments and sells its market analysis to other agents via ERC-8183, while Trust Wallet Agent Kit is the only key that ever signs.

if the api key is provided then I will wire up the project and make it fit for the vlayer grants program. Also you can share your valuable feedback by reviewing the full product.
what data would you like to verify with vlayer?
- alternative.me Fear & Greed the lead proof (M1)
This is the data we verify first. RegimeProver.sol targets:
DATA_URL = https://api.alternative.me/fng/?limit=1 → data.0.value (integer 0–100)
A vlayer Web Proof (zkTLS) attests that this specific HTTPS response was genuinely served by api.alternative.me over TLS — keyless (no API secret to hide). The prover extracts the F&G value + classification via _parseUint; the verifier records the on-chain attestation. It's chosen first because it's free, keyless, and a clean integer (robust to prove), and it's a core input to the regime score the agent sells. Your DataSourcesBadge already seals alternative.me specifically for this reason.

DexScreener price — the planned extension
A Web Proof of a token's DEX price/liquidity from DexScreener. It's the second step (its priceUsd is a decimal string → needs fixed-point parsing, so it comes after the clean-integer path is proven). -
Historical drawdown — the stretch (M3, Time Travel)
Not a Web Proof but vlayer Time Travel: verify the headline survival claim (13.2% worst-week drawdown) against historical on-chain NAV heartbeats — "verify our track record," not "trust our backtest."
Should I submit without the api key integration and just as a future intgeration of API for the grant program at vlayer
