Top AI models.
No account. No card.
Send SOL, get credits, use them in the chat or through the API. You only pay for the tokens you use, and credits never expire. 1,000 credits = $1.
Credit packs
Paid in SOL at the live rate when you check out. No wallet connect: you get a deposit address and QR.
Model rates
Credits per 1 million tokens. A typical chat message (~1,000 tokens in, ~500 out) is shown for scale.

Paid models
- No account, email or card. Your key is your account.
- We don't store prompts or answers. We keep only token counts and cost, so your balance adds up.
- Requests are routed only to providers that don't store or train on prompts.
- The model provider still processes your prompt to answer it.
Free tier
- 20 messages a day on an open model, no SOL needed.
- Runs on a free provider endpoint that may log prompts. Don't send anything sensitive.
- Paid credits are never spent on the free model.
Private tier
- Open models on GPUs we run, so prompts never reach a third party.
- Not live yet. We'll announce it when it is.
Questions
How do I pay?
Pick a pack, scan the QR with any Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack…) or send the exact amount shown to the address. Credits appear on the page once the transfer confirms, usually within a minute.
What is my key?
When you buy, the site creates a secret key (shade_sk_…). It holds your credits and works as your API key. Save it somewhere safe: we can't recover it, and anyone with it can spend your credits.
Can I use it from code or an AI agent?
Yes. The API is OpenAI-compatible: point any OpenAI SDK at this site's /v1 URL and use your SHADE key. Every call is charged from the same balance.
Do credits expire?
No. Unused credits stay on your key.
What if I send the wrong amount?
Scanning the QR sends the right amount automatically. If you send by hand, send the exact amount shown; if it doesn't match, message us through the Support link at the bottom of the page with your transaction signature.
