01Overview
SectorZero does two things. The depot sells AI model credits, often below face value, and serves every major model through one OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API key. The launch bay gives an AI agent its own token on Pons and a vault that turns the token's creator fees into compute for that agent.
Your account is your wallet on Robinhood Chain. You sign one message to log in. Signing is free and never sends a transaction.
02Top up credits
One credit spends like one US dollar of model usage at the upstream list price. When you top up, the depot fills your order from the discount book: credits other people listed below face value. It takes the deepest discount first, then the next, and whatever the book can't cover is sold at list price. You never pay more than list.
A platform fee applies only to the discounted part of an order, and your clearance can lower it. You pay in USDG or ETH from your wallet; the order holds its price for 20 minutes. Once the payment confirms, the credit lands on your API key. Your first top-up creates the key and shows it once.
03Sell credits
If you hold $ION you won't spend, list it at a discount (5–30% off face value). Buyers take the deepest listings first. Every credit a buyer takes is owed to you in USDG at your listed price. Cancel a listing anytime; whatever hasn't sold comes back to you.
Referrals: share your link from the Account page and earn a share of the platform fee on top-ups from people you bring in, owed to you in USDG alongside your sales.
04$ION
$ION is a credit unit, not a token. It isn't on any DEX and can't be cashed out. Agents earn it from their trading fees. You can activate it, which moves it onto your API key's balance, or list it on the discount book for someone else to buy.
05API gateway
Point any OpenAI or Anthropic SDK at the SectorZero base URL and use your key. Calls go to the upstream router and are billed per token at its list price, to the cent; your balance is tracked to four decimals.
| Endpoint | What it does |
|---|---|
POST /v1/chat/completions | OpenAI-compatible chat, streaming supported |
POST /v1/messages | Anthropic-compatible messages |
GET /v1/models | Every model the gateway serves, with prices |
curl https://api.sectorzero.tech/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SZ_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model": "openai/gpt-4o-mini", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Plot a course."}]}'When the balance is empty the gateway answers 402 instead of calling the model. Up to 8 calls can run in parallel per account. Prompts and responses are never stored. Replace a lost key from the Account page; the old key stops working at once.
06MCP server
Add SectorZero to any MCP client as a remote server at https://sectorzero.tech/mcp. The client opens a sign-in page where you approve with your wallet (a free signature); after that the tools draw on the same balance as your API key.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
list_models | Models and live prices |
chat | Run a prompt on any model |
get_balance | Your credit balance and $ION |
credit_quote | Price a top-up against the current book (free) |
web_fetch | Fetch a public web page as text |
chain_balance, chain_token | Read balances and token info on Robinhood Chain |
07Launch an agent
- Connect a wallet on Robinhood Chain. The launching wallet becomes the agent's owner and receives its creator tax.
- Configure the name, ticker, logo, mission and links, and pick a creator tax (we recommend 1–2%, see Earn from your agent). Optionally set an opening buy in ETH, made in the same transaction before anyone else can trade.
- Ignite. One transaction creates the agent's vault and launches the token on the Pons bonding curve, paired with ETH. The vault is set as the receiver of the token's fees.
The launch costs the Pons launch fee (read live from the chain on the launch page), plus your opening buy if you set one, plus gas. Once launched, the token can be bought and sold right on its agent page, and it shows up under Your agents in your account.
08Earn from your agent
How fees work on Pons
Every buy and sell on Pons pays a 1% trading fee: 0.3% goes to Pons and 0.7% is the creator fee. On top of that, the launcher can add a creator tax of their own.
Where the 0.7% goes on SectorZero
On SectorZero, the 0.7% creator fee powers your agent instead of being paid out as cash:
| Share of the 0.7% | Goes to |
|---|---|
| 60% | $ION credits for your agent wallet. Spend them on AI models, or list them on the discount book and get paid in USDG. |
| 20% | Your agent's API balance, ready to use right away. |
| 20% | SectorZero, to keep the platform running. |
Want ETH on every trade? Set a creator tax
The creator tax is the part you earn in ETH. It's paid 100% to your wallet, separate from the 0.7% above. We recommend 1–2%:
- You get paid on every buy and sell, straight to your wallet in ETH.
- Traders barely notice it. With the 1% Pons fee, the total cost of a trade stays at 2–3%. Higher taxes (5–10%) tend to put traders off and slow your token down.
- With 0% you earn credits only, no ETH.
| Example: $10,000 traded | No tax | 1% tax | 2% tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| You, in ETH | $0 | $100 | $200 |
| You, as credits | $56 | $56 | $56 |
| SectorZero | $14 | $14 | $14 |
| Pons | $30 | $30 | $30 |
When you get paid
Fees collect in your agent's vault and are paid out automatically about every 5 minutes, once a small amount has built up. You can also press Harvest now on your agent's page at any time. Each payout sends your tax to your wallet and splits the 0.7% in the same transaction. Credits are valued at the ETH/USD price from Chainlink at that moment.
09Clearance
$SEZE works as a pass, not a payout. Hold it in the wallet you top up from and the platform fee on discounted credit drops. $SEZE pays no dividend and receives no share of fees.
