Just shipped Router402 at @ethglobal HackMoney. An OpenRouter-compatible AI gateway where every API call settles a real USDC micropayment on @base.base.eth via x402. No subscriptions. True pay-per-use for LLMs. A thread on what we built and how it works.

Request N carries the payment for Request N-1. Why? Because after Request N-1 completes, the gateway knows the EXACT token cost. No estimates, no overcharges, no disputes. Your first request is free to settle. Every request after pays for the one before it.

The problem with LLM access today: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini: ~$20/mo locked in before you use anything OpenRouter: "pay as you go" but you prepay a deposit they hold Every model asks you to trust a third party with your money BEFORE you get value.

Rather than buying myself a coffee, I've decided to turn this month's earnings from Clave into gifts. The first comers will have a chance to claim theirs, so be quick! https://getclave.io/link/raffle?p=x8yDZj7sIyscJ1QO&token=ZK
