Straight relay
Your request reaches the provider unchanged. No model swaps, no injected prompts.
Provider's own response id
Every response carries the provider's original id, so you can check the model is real.
Zero data retention
Neither we nor the supplier store prompts or outputs. Suppliers see a token count, nothing else.
Proof of supply
Don't trust us. Watch the network.
Every supplier, every request, every payout, updated live. The same numbers are served as JSON for people, bots and agents.

Road to launch
Week 3 of 4Leaderboard
Sample dataToken
$QUOTA — settle, stake, earn.
The token has a real job: it settles every request and backs every supplier. Half of protocol margin buys it back and burns it, every week, in public. Fair launch: no team allocation, no airdrop.
Payment currency
Buyers pay in $QUOTA. Suppliers are paid in $QUOTA.
Supplier collateral
Listing capacity requires stake. Failures get slashed.
Buyback from revenue
Half of margin buys back and burns the token weekly, on chain.
Roadmap
Gateway first. Market next.
Agent launchpad
A token that pays for its own inference.
Launch an agent token. Its creator fees top up its QUOTA inference budget automatically, so the agent keeps running as long as people trade it.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Everything here is also in the docs as plain .md.
Where does the discount come from?
Suppliers already paid for capacity they don't use. Any payout is upside for them, so the price can sit 50–70% under list and everyone still wins.
Is reselling my subscription allowed?
It depends on your provider's terms. Consumer plans are usually licensed for personal use and forbid sharing access.
QUOTA only lists capacity whose terms allow resale or delegated use: API credits, team plans with delegation rights, compute you run yourself. We check the source type when you connect and refuse the rest.
Do I get the real model?
Yes. The request reaches the provider unchanged, and the response carries the provider's original id.
What happens to my prompts?
Nothing. Zero data retention end to end. The supplier sees a token count only.
What if a supplier fails a request?
The router fails over to another supplier or upstream in milliseconds. The failing supplier's stake is slashed.
Is there an airdrop or a team allocation?
No to both. $QUOTA is a fair launch on Robinhood Chain: the team holds no reserved allocation and nothing is airdropped. Everyone gets the token the same way.
What are points for?
Points track real usage: dollars spent and tokens served. They set your place in line when the credit marketplace opens. Bot and sybil activity is filtered out.
Are credits an investment?
No. Credits are promotional access to inference. They are not an investment return and can't be redeemed for cash.
The idle inference network
The cheapest tokens are the ones already paid for.
Developers save up to 70%. Suppliers earn on capacity they'd waste. Points count from day one.
