In-product currency is not developer prepaid tokens
ChefSphere wallet and currency APIs cover balances, purchases, gifts, and creator earnings so tips, coins, and payouts are not a fragile spreadsheet beside your app database. Creator food apps and live shows need a ledger users understand when they tip a host or unlock a digital reward inside the product. This guide is about end-user wallet balances—not the prepaid API token packs you buy to call ChefSphere modules.
Subscriptions and billing cover plans and entitlements; marketplace covers listings through payouts; wallets cover spendable balances and gifts inside the experience. Confusing those three money surfaces creates support debt and finance arguments nobody enjoys after launch week with real users. Keep search intent clean: this page is wallet currency product behavior on the same platform prepaid meter as everything else.
Balances, gifts, and creator earnings
Balances need clear credit and debit semantics, idempotent purchases, and statements users can trust when they dispute a gift that never arrived on screen. Gifts during live or social moments need product rules for refunds and abuse, especially when minors or regulated markets are in scope for your launch. Creator earnings need a path that respects seller KYC trust limits before money leaves your platform into a bank account.
Wallet transactions sit above catalog reads on the prepaid developer token table because ledger mutations are risk-bearing and operationally expensive to run honestly. That burn is how you pay ChefSphere for wallet API calls; it is separate from the coin balance your end user sees in the app. Packs start at $29 for 200,000 tokens once early access is granted, shared across wallets, live, social, and commerce.
Pair wallets with live when tipping matters, and pair with social when gifts appear in feed contexts that need moderation for spam and scams. Pair with seller KYC and marketplace when earnings must convert to payouts under trust limits your policy can defend in writing. Early access onboarding is where we align which wallet journeys are version one versus later monetization experiments.
X-API-Key metering and early access
Authenticate with an X-API-Key in the Firebase-style model and burn prepaid developer tokens per wallet operation on one shared platform balance. Unused tokens stay available when gift campaigns cool off between seasons, which is common for food and creator products with uneven traffic. request access and we email when onboarding opens.
Illustrative OpenAPI samples help you plan purchase and gift flows without treating fictional paths as production contracts for money movement. Production environments arrive with access so you integrate against the real ledger surface for balances and creator earnings. Enterprise from $300 per month exists when dedicated limits or custom weights are needed for high-volume wallet traffic.
Design wallet UX before you mint coins
Define denominations, purchase limits, and gift abuse rules before marketing unlimited tipping that attracts fraud rings and app-store scrutiny you cannot ignore. Those product decisions matter more than decorative coin animations and more than any sample snippet in illustrative OpenAPI docs. A wallet without policy is a liability dressed as engagement, and finance will notice before your users do.
Related guides on live streaming, seller KYC, and subscriptions help you place wallets next to the right monetization path instead of inventing a fourth ledger. Request early access with your intended coin economy and whether earnings convert to payouts in version one of the product. We contact you when keys and packs are available.

Common questions
- Is my prepaid API balance the same as a user wallet?
- No. Prepaid API tokens meter ChefSphere platform calls. User wallets hold in-product balances, gifts, and creator earnings. Subscriptions handle plan entitlements. Keep the three ledgers conceptually separate.
- Can creators cash out wallet earnings?
- Creator earnings are part of the wallet module’s marketed surface, and payout trust typically depends on seller KYC limits. Confirm payout rails and markets during early-access onboarding.
- How should I budget API tokens for gifts during live?
- Model wallet transactions plus live session access using the published weights. Campaign spikes can justify Growth or Scale even if quiet weeks fit Starter.
- When can I test wallet purchases?
- After early access is granted and keys are provisioned. Until then, plan with illustrative docs and request access with your coin economy described.
