Every trade pays a 1.50% fee. Half of it turns into OpenRouter credits, written to your wallet's ledger every hour. One dollar of fees, one dollar of inference.

Kudos×Claude first

Kudos for
Claude

Your key is provisioned through OpenRouter and supported for Claude today: Opus, Sonnet and Haiku, in Claude Code, Cursor or your own code. The balance you earned does the paying.

terminal 
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://openrouter.ai/api"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-or-v1-…"  # the key you claimed
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=""                # must stay empty

Flagship token

Kudos × Claude

The flagship token is fully functional with Claude to begin with. Opus, Sonnet and Haiku from day one, through Claude Code, Cursor or the Anthropic SDK. More models switch on after, without a new key.

Getting paid

Your credits
follow your wallet.

Wallet only. There is no account to create.
Spending the key

Claude,
every tool.

What you claim is a plain OpenRouter API key, supported on Kudos for Claude first. Point Claude Code, Cursor, your agent or your own code at it and the balance you earned does the paying. No Kudos SDK, no wrapper, nothing to install.

Keys are issued one tranche at a time. When a key is spent, claim again for a fresh one and swap it into whichever setup below you are using.

Claude Code speaks its native protocol straight to OpenRouter. Set the gateway variables and launch. No proxy in between.

terminal 
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://openrouter.ai/api"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-or-v1-…"  # the key you claimed
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=""                # must stay empty

Signed in with an Anthropic account before? Run /logout once and relaunch, then confirm with /status that the base URL points at OpenRouter.

Codex reads its provider from config. Add OpenRouter as a provider once, then point the key at it through the environment.

~/.codex/config.toml 
model_provider = "openrouter"

[model_providers.openrouter]
name = "OpenRouter"
base_url = "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
env_key = "OPENROUTER_API_KEY"   # the key you claimed
Then export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-… and run codex -m anthropic/claude-sonnet-5 to drive it with Claude.

Cursor accepts any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Paste the key under Models, override the base URL, and the editor bills your credits instead of a subscription.

cursor · settings › models 
OpenAI API Key      sk-or-v1-…        # the key you claimed
Override base URL   https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
Model               anthropic/claude-sonnet-5  # or any other
Add the model id by hand under "Add model" if it is not in the dropdown. Verify with the built-in test button before you close settings.

Every OpenAI-compatible SDK works unchanged. Swap the base URL, pass the key, name the model.

python 
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
    api_key="sk-or-v1-…",  # the key you claimed
)
r = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="anthropic/claude-opus-5",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "hi"}],
)
The key is an ordinary OpenRouter key with a spend ceiling. Anything that already works with OpenRouter works here.
The token

A fee stream with somewhere to go.

$KUDOS is a Pons launch on Robinhood Chain, quoted against tokenized NVDA rather than a stablecoin. Its fees do one job: buy inference for the people holding it.

Questions
Do I have to sell anything to get paid?
No. Credits accrue to your linked wallets' balance of $KUDOS and are settled in dollars. Selling does not trigger a payout, and holding does not require any transaction.
What happens to my accrual if I sell?
Weight stops accruing from the block you sell. You keep everything already credited, and the window you sold in pays for the fraction of it you actually held the tokens, provided your average across that window still clears the minimum.
Do credits expire?
Accrued credits do not expire while your account is active. Once claimed, they live as headroom on your OpenRouter key and stay there until you spend them.
Which models can I use?
Claude, for now: Opus 5, Sonnet 5 and Haiku 4.5 through OpenRouter, which is what Claude Code, Cursor and the Anthropic SDK expect. Support, docs and marketplace pricing cover Claude today. The key itself is a standard OpenRouter key and we never proxy or block traffic, so more models switch on without you claiming a new key. GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi and Grok are next.
Do you see my prompts?
No. Your requests go from your machine to OpenRouter with your key. We provision the key and read its spend total; we never proxy the traffic and never see its contents.
Who is eligible?
Any wallet holding at least 1,000 $KUDOS, measured on your time-weighted average across the window rather than your balance at one instant. Dropping below the floor mid-window costs you that window, and topping up just before it closes does not buy you in. Weight below the floor is redistributed to holders who do qualify.
Do smart accounts and contracts earn?
Smart accounts do. A wallet delegated under EIP-7702 still has a private key and a person behind it, so it is treated exactly like any other holder, which matters here because most traders on this chain use them. Ordinary contracts do not: the liquidity pool, the fee escrow, the locker, the treasury and the burn address hold KUDOS but have no owner who could ever claim, so paying them would just be paying ourselves. They are excluded and their share goes to real holders.
How often does it pay?
Every hour. A payout is a row in a ledger rather than an on-chain transaction, so there is no gas or settlement latency forcing a slower cadence: the window closes, the pool is split by time-weighted balance, and your dashboard moves.
