Pick a fixed pack and pay through hosted Stripe Checkout. No account is needed.

A pool boost buys AI capacity for the coding tools behind eligible open-source repositories. Each week the pool releases a bounded share under a formula published on this site. Nothing is paid out as cash.

How the pool works
A shared way to buy capacity.
02
The pool releases capacity weekly
Each Monday a bounded share goes to eligible repositories under a published formula. No repository is guaranteed a share.
03
Maintainers build
They spend it in their coding agent until it runs out. We never see their prompts.
Designed for trust
The rules that protect your boost.
Capacity, never cash.
A boost buys restricted Anthropic API usage. No one can withdraw it.
Hard spend caps.
Every key has a ceiling. Requests stop when the balance is gone.
A published formula.
Weekly releases follow rules anyone can read. No repository is guaranteed a share.
Eligibility is checked.
Only repositories showing the boost badge in their README can receive pool capacity. Operator-owned repositories never do.
Nothing leaks away.
Pool money never expires. Capacity a repository does not use within a year returns to the pool.
Open books.
The transparency page shows pool balance, releases, and provider reserves. 95% of each pack goes to capacity; 5% is our fee.
Boosts are non-refundable purchases of AI capacity. The full wording is in the Terms, and the live figures are on the transparency page.

You can add a nickname at checkout or stay anonymous. This list shows up to ten recent nicknames, and the Terms explain when we hide one.

“Maintainers already give their time. The pool lets people who use their work cover the AI usage behind it, without anyone having to pick favourites.”
