Routstr

What is Routstr?
A decentralized and permissionless AI protocol that allows anyone to access State-of-the-Art (SOTA) AI models.
OpenAI Compatible
Drop-in replacement for any OpenAI client
Bitcoin Payments
Pay per request with Cashu eCash
Built on Nostr
Decentralized discovery, no central registry
Privacy First
No accounts, no KYC, no tracking
How It Works
Node Discovery
Nodes broadcast their models and pricing via Nostr. Users query relays to discover the best node for their specific request instantly.
Pay with Sats
Providers price their AI models in satoshis. You pay the node directly per request using a Cashu eCash token. No accounts, complete privacy.
Instant Refund
Since output token size is unknown, nodes lock a maximum cost. Once the generation is complete, the unused tokens are instantly refunded.
No Lock-in
If a node is slow or overpriced, warn others on Nostr and switch providers instantly. Zero lock-in, pure reputation-based routing.
