RelaySwitch enables crypto payments for AI API access

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Uplink Switch LLC, through its RelaySwitch service, now allows users to pay for AI API access using cryptocurrencies like USDT, USDC, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The process involves topping up a prepaid USD balance, with each API request then drawing from this balance at a per-token rate. This method offers the same pricing as traditional card payments and does not involve any crypto-specific markups or plans. The service emphasizes privacy, stating that request and response bodies are not stored or used for training. AI

IMPACT Expands payment options for AI API users, potentially increasing accessibility for those preferring cryptocurrency.

RANK_REASON This is a new payment option for an existing AI API service, not a core AI model release or research.
