Tokpum AI Gateway
Tokpum is an LLM gateway with OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs. One
account, one sk- API key, and every model the gateway serves - chat,
image, and video - through the wire protocol your code already speaks.
Accounts are wallet-based: you sign in with an Ethereum wallet, top up a prepaid balance, and are billed per token as you go. Membership perks are on-chain: a TokpumPass NFT sets your API discount level, and the TKPM token levels it up.
Core concepts
- Account and balance. Your console account holds a prepaid balance. Inference requests debit it per token; a request is rejected when the balance is insufficient.
- API key. A
sk-secret created in the console. It authenticates both the OpenAI-compatible surface (/v1/chat/completionsand friends) and the Anthropic-compatible surface (/v1/messages) as a Bearer token. - Models and channels. The gateway routes each model name to upstream provider channels. You do not pick a provider; you use a model name and the gateway picks the channel.
- Routing strategy. Per model, you can stay in market mode (gateway picks the best channel) or pin direct mode to specific channels. See Routing.
- Pricing. Per-token prices are public and require no authentication: the public pricing catalog.
