Where your order fills

What a credit buys
Effective price per 1M tokens
List price, and what you pay at the best credit price available now ($1.00) plus your 5.0% gateway fee.
Effective prices assume your whole purchase fills at the best listing; larger orders may fill partly at par. Models marked unavailable have no provider on this gateway that can serve them right now. Long-context and cached-input rates are in the model catalog.
What happens when you buy
Four things, in order, and the first three happen in one transaction.
You ask for an amount.
The quote reads the staker order book and fills the cheapest listings first. Whatever is left comes from the protocol at $1.00 per credit.
best execution, quoted before you sign
You sign one transaction.
USDC leaves your wallet and the credits arrive in the same transaction. A fill fails rather than charge more than the price you were quoted.
USDC in, credits out
Credits become spendable.
Added straight to your API balance, they are redeemed inside the purchase and can be spent immediately. Otherwise they arrive in your wallet as $CREDIT.

Your key is issued.
A first purchase creates an API key on the spot. It is shown once, and only a salted hash of it is stored.

What you are buying
One credit is $1.00 of compute at list price. These are the terms it comes with.
- Crypto only
- Credits are bought with USDC on Solana. There is no card, bank transfer, invoice or subscription: your wallet is your account.
- Best execution
- Quotes fill from the cheapest staker listings first, then at par from the protocol, in a single transaction.
- Instant activation
- Credits can be redeemed into your API balance inside the purchase transaction. First-time buyers get a key on the spot.
- Fully backed
- Every credit in circulation is backed 1:1 by USDC in the on-chain reserve, enforced by the program.
- Pay from any wallet
- Solana Pay lets another wallet settle the purchase by scanning a code. The credits go to the signed-in account, whichever wallet pays.
