What this changes

Replaces the current README (a flat list of links) with a structured onboarding guide that helps developers get started with the V3 API faster.

Why

The #1 question from developers integrating the V3 API is: What are user, signer, and private_key? followed by Why does my signature keep failing?

The current README doesn't answer either question. Developers have to dig through the full API spec to understand the auth flow, which leads to hours of trial and error on what should be a 5-minute setup.

What's added

  • Quick start section — the 4 steps from zero to first signed request
  • 3 wallets explained — clear table showing what each value is and where to find it
  • Common signature errors — the exact checklist for debugging -1000 errors
  • Structured doc links — same links as before, organized in tables by category (Futures / Spot / RPC / Account)
  • Code examples section — official demos + tools + community tools in one place
  • API endpoints table — all base URLs at a glance (prod + testnet)
  • Note about @aster-desktop — this confuses a lot of new users

What's NOT changed

  • No existing doc files modified
  • No API behavior changes
  • All original links preserved, paths updated to match the current repo structure (V3(Recommended)/, V1(Legacy)/, demo/, RPC/)

Community tools disclosure

I added a "Community tools" row linking to kairos-aster-sdk, a Python SDK I built that abstracts the EIP-712 signing for V3. Happy to remove this if the team prefers to keep the README official-only. The SDK is MIT licensed and independently maintained.
