How $API works

Hold the coin to earn a share of its creator fees. Receive SOL, or choose AI credits for the models you use.

The basics

$API is a Solana coin on pump.fun. Part of each trade’s fee goes to the creator. This project shares the available creator fees with eligible holders.

SOL by default. AI credits when you choose.

Keep tokens in your own wallet. There is no staking, deposit, or lockup. Choose credits in the dashboard to receive 1.5x the dollar value of your share for AI requests.

An API lets an app or a piece of code talk to another service. Our AI gateway gives you one URL and one key for supported models. You can earn SOL without using it.

Who earns rewards

The holding requirements

$20 minimum
Hold at least $20 worth of $API, valued at the price used for that split. The number of tokens needed changes with the price.
Two readings
Balances are read about two minutes apart. You must appear in both readings; buying between them does not qualify you for that round.
Lower balance
The lower of your two balances must meet the minimum. That balance is also your weight in the split.

Your share is proportional to your eligible token balance compared with the total eligible balance. The creator wallet and program accounts are excluded from rewards, along with any additional wallets configured for exclusion.

The dashboard’s holding check shows your current balance. The split’s two readings determine what actually earns a reward.

How each split works

  1. Collect fees

    The worker collects creator fees and keeps enough SOL for its operating reserve and transaction costs. The rest is available to share.

  2. Read eligible balances

    Two balance readings determine which wallets qualify and how much weight each wallet receives.

  3. Allocate each share

    The available pool is divided proportionally among eligible holders. Your payout choice decides whether your share becomes SOL or AI credits.

  4. Deliver rewards

    SOL payments are sent in batches. Credits are recorded in the dashboard, and the associated SOL funds the AI treasury.

The worker targets a new round every 5 minutes. Low fees, an unfinished earlier round, or transaction delays can postpone a split. The timer is a schedule, not a guaranteed payment deadline.

Models on this gateway

Credits use the SOL/USD price recorded for the split. For example: if your share is worth $1 at that price and you have no unpaid prior AI usage, choosing credits adds $1.50 to your AI balance. This is an illustration, not a reward estimate.

Why a small SOL reward may not be sent

SOL shares below the worker’s payout floor are not sent. The floor includes Solana’s minimum account balance, read from the chain. It applies to the reward amount even if you already have SOL in your wallet.

That unsent SOL stays in the shared pool for a later split. It is divided among whoever qualifies then, not saved as a personal balance for your wallet. Rounding leftovers are handled the same way.

Credits have no SOL transfer floor. They are recorded to a millionth of a dollar. A share too small to create one whole micro-USD stays in the shared pool.

Set up your payout

  1. Connect your wallet

    Open the dashboard and connect the wallet holding your tokens.

  2. Sign in

    Sign the sign-in message. This proves the wallet is yours without moving funds.

  3. Choose your payout

    Choose AI credits or keep SOL. Your choice is used when a future split is allocated; it does not change rewards already allocated.

To use credits, create an API key in the dashboard, then follow the API setup guide. Keys spend from your wallet’s shared credit balance.

Common questions

Do I need to use AI or write code?

No. SOL is the default payout. You only need the AI gateway if you choose to spend credits.

Do I need to claim my reward?

No. Eligible SOL rewards are sent to your wallet, and credits are added to your dashboard balance automatically.

Why did I receive no SOL this round?

You may be below the holding minimum, missing from one of the two balance readings, or owed less than the SOL payout floor. A round can also wait for fees or for an earlier payout to finish. Holding tokens does not guarantee a payment each round.

What happens if I sell my tokens?

You keep SOL already received and credits already issued. Selling changes your eligibility and weight in future splits. You can still spend your existing credits with a valid API key.

Can I switch back to SOL?

Yes. Change your choice in the dashboard before a future split is allocated. Existing credits stay in your balance; the switch does not convert them into SOL.

Can I withdraw credits as money?

No. Credits pay for AI requests through this gateway. There is no credit-to-SOL withdrawal option.

What does the dashboard signature authorize?

It proves you control the wallet so you can manage its payout choice and API keys. It signs a message, not a transaction, and grants no permission to move your wallet funds. The site never needs your private key or recovery phrase.

Are failed AI requests always free?

No. A request confirmed as uncharged releases its reserved credits. If a timeout or disconnect leaves the cost unknown, the reservation can remain until reconciled. A paid request can still cost credits if its answer does not reach you.
