Accrue · $ACRU · Pre-launch
Hold 1,000 ACRU and AI credits land in your wallet every hour, paid from the creator fees on every trade and a share of paid usage. Spend them on open models served by Macs in the network or on frontier models through zero-data-retention providers, or sell what you do not use. Credits last 90 days.
Why Accrue?
Four ways in
Each role pays the others. You do not need a Mac to use the network, a wallet to try it, or the token to run a node.
How the money moves
Every $ACRU trade on pump.fun pays a creator fee. It is collected every hour.
50% becomes credits for holders. 50% goes to the treasury, which pays the Macs.
Every wallet holding 1,000 ACRU through the hour is credited pro rata. Nothing to claim.
Credits buy answers from Macs paid $0.060 per million tokens, or from frontier models at list plus 6%.
30% of the margin on paid requests, and half of every market fee, join the next hourly pool.
Nothing is minted to pay anyone. The holder half is kept apart as the reserve behind the credits.
Prices
Why it's different
Trading fees fund the hourly pool, and so does the margin on paid requests. Holders earn when people use the network, not only when they trade it.
A dollar of credit spent on an open model buys 13M tokens at $0.080 per million, answered by a Mac that is paid $0.060. What is left over is the margin holders share.
List unused credit at any discount up to 70%; buyers pay below face value and spend it on any model. The fee is 2.5%, half of it back to holders in the next hour.
Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek through one key at list plus 6%, routed only to zero-data-retention providers; Llama and Qwen on Macs for a flat $0.080 per million.
A Mac receives the model and the messages, nothing else. A sampled share of node answers is re-run elsewhere and compared.
Every epoch, the treasury ledger, marketplace fills and the usage share are public. The reserve is published every hour next to the credits it backs.
Switch in a minute
Point any OpenAI-compatible client at the gateway and swap the key. Model ids are unchanged; GET /v1/models lists the catalogue with our price next to list.

Privacy, stated plainly
Any machine that runs a model sees the prompt in plaintext while it runs. What Accrue does is let you choose which machines, strip everything else from the job, and never keep the text anywhere. Pick a tier per request or per key.
Your own Macs, allowlisted operators, and gold-staked operators who signed the operator pledge. If none is online the request goes to the ZDR upstream, never to other nodes.
Any online node. The operator could in principle inspect memory while serving you.
Skips the network for zero-data-retention providers only.
Frequently asked
No. At the top of every hour the gateway looks at who held at least 1,000 ACRU through the hour and credits each wallet pro rata. The credit shows up in your ledger with the epoch as its reference.
A credit dollar buys a dollar of inference at the catalogue price: frontier and fast models at list plus 6%, and any model a Mac serves at $0.080 per million tokens. Every reply shows what it cost.
Yes. Every credit lapses 90 days after it landed in your wallet, whatever its source. Requests always spend your oldest credit first, so regular use never loses anything.
No. Credits are a licence to use the gateway, not money. They only move between wallets through the marketplace. Proceeds from a sale land in a prepaid US-dollar balance, which can be withdrawn; during the beta the team processes withdrawals by hand.
Yes, two ways. Buy them at face value: $1 buys $1 of credit, from $1 to $10,000 a purchase. Or buy them below face value from a holder on the marketplace, when one is selling.
The trading engine pays nothing that hour. Credits already in your ledger still spend until they reach their 90 days. Half of every marketplace fee and 30% of the margin on paid requests keep paying in, but that share is small and does not replace trading fees.
The gateway logs the model, token counts, cost and latency of each request so it can bill you; it never stores the prompt or the reply. The machine that runs the model has to see your prompt in plaintext while it runs. That is why there are privacy tiers.
Pre-launch
The token and the network go live together. Hold 1,000 ACRU for the hourly credits, or run a Mac and get paid for the answers it serves.
Credits are a share of fees, not a promise. Nothing on this site is investment advice, and nothing here can be bought, earned or used before launch.
