How It Works

Use Cashu tokens

Bring your own Cashu token or purchase via Lightning. No account or sign-up required.

Paste existing token

cashuA1DkpMbgQ9VkL6U...

Lightning purchase

10,000 sats

Receive token instantly

If you paid via Lightning, you'll receive a token instantly. If you already have one, use it as your API authorization key.

ROUTSTR_TOKEN

Use this token in the Authorization header

Make API calls directly

Use the token in your API calls with our OpenAI-compatible endpoints. No account needed.
