Token creators can route launch fees to an LLM gateway that routes between Anthropic, Google, OpenAI and other providers.
Bankr said on October 1, 2026 that a token’s launch fees can pay for the AI model calls its own agent makes. “your coin pays for your agent’s brain,” the project posted on X, promoting its LLM gateway.
Launch fees are the creator fees a token earns when it launches. According to Bankr’s documentation, those fees can be claimed to a wallet and then spent on inference, the computing behind each AI request. The gateway also accepts USDC, USDT, ETH or any other ERC-20 token, and the company’s gateway page says usage can be funded from a Bankr wallet balance.
The gateway is not new: Bankr added Claude Opus 5.5 to it on September 22, 2026.
Bankr’s documentation describes the gateway as a single API key covering models from Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, xAI, Z.ai, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Moonshot AI and Alibaba. It routes requests through a list of providers per model and falls through to the next provider on an error or a capacity limit, which the documentation calls automatic failover.
For data handling, the documentation says requests routed through OpenRouter carry a setting instructing it not to route to hosts that store or train on prompts, and that this governs only that hop; the upstream provider’s own policies still apply. A private mode appends “:private” to a model ID, routing the request into a hardware-secured enclave the gateway verifies on every request.
The company says the gateway works with OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs without code changes, and that it plugs into tools including Claude Code and Cursor. New accounts start with $0 in credits, per the documentation, and requests are rejected until credits are added.
