Every open model.
One gate.

One key for four open-weight models, behind the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs you already use. Streamed as the model thinks, billed per token, paid from your wallet in USDG, or in $MONK for 25% more credit. No seats, no subscription, no email.

Ask the monk anything. A real model answers, token by token, and you see exactly what it would cost.

01

Sign in. Top up. Call.

Three steps from a wallet to your first streamed token. No account form, no card, no subscription.

Your wallet is your account

  • Connect any wallet and sign one message. It is a signature, not a transaction: no gas, nothing moves.
  • The server checks the signature and a one-time nonce, then opens a session. Each nonce works once, so a signature can never be replayed.
  • No email, no password, no form. The address you sign with is the account that holds your balance and keys.

Diagrams illustrate the flow; they are not live data.

02

Pay with it. Hold it.

$MONK is the gateway's own utility: more credit when you top up with it, higher limits while you hold it. Launching soon.

03 Fair by design
  • Priced low, on purpose. A token deposit is valued at its lowest price of the last 30 minutes, so a brief spike can't buy extra credit.
  • Capped. Up to $100 of token credit per account per day, and $1,000 across all accounts. USDG has no daily limit.
  • Held, not flashed. Tiers look at what you held over 24 hours, so a quick buy-and-sell doesn't unlock anything.

$MONK is a utility for paying for and using Monkgate. It is not an investment, and nothing on this site is a promise about its price or any return.

Questions

10 / 10 matches

  1. 06.01

    What are the Monkgate models?

    Four curated open-weight models, each a step on the path: Nirvana for hard reasoning and agents, Zen for everyday work, Koan for low-cost general tasks, and Om when speed matters most.

  2. 06.02

    Which clients work with this?

    Anything that lets you set a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL (Cline, Aider, Continue, LangChain, the OpenAI SDKs) or an Anthropic base URL (the Anthropic SDKs). Set the model to one of the ids listed above.

  3. 06.03

    How am I billed?

    Per token, at the listed price, rounded up to one micro-dollar per request. Before a request runs, its maximum cost is held against your balance so parallel requests can't overspend. You only pay for tokens that were actually generated.

  4. 06.04

    How do deposits work?

    Send USDG on Robinhood Chain from the wallet you signed in with. You'll also need a little ETH on Robinhood Chain in that wallet to pay the network fee. The deposit is verified on-chain and credited once it is final, meaning its batch has been posted to Ethereum. That usually takes about 10 minutes. Don't send from an exchange: we match deposits to accounts by the sending address.

  5. 06.05

    How do I get USDG on Robinhood Chain?

    The easiest way is to bridge USDC from another chain (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum and others) to Robinhood Chain with a bridge such as across.to; it arrives as USDG, 1:1 with the dollar. Bridge a small amount of ETH the same way to cover network fees.

  6. 06.06

    What is $MONK for?

    It is Monkgate's own utility token on Robinhood Chain, launching soon. Top up with it and you get 25% extra credit (valued at its lowest price of the last 30 minutes, up to $100 of credit per account per day). Hold it in your signed-in wallet for 24 hours and your account unlocks higher rate limits. It is not an investment, and nothing here is a promise about its price.

  7. 06.07

    What happens if I disconnect mid-stream?

    The model may keep generating on our side until it finishes, and you are billed for every token it produced, not only the ones you received. Set max_tokens to cap the cost of a request you might abandon.

  8. 06.08

    Why did I get an empty reply?

    Monkgate models think before they answer, and that thinking counts toward max_tokens. If max_tokens is very small (under about 200), the budget can run out before the answer starts. Raise max_tokens or leave it unset.

  9. 06.09

    Do you store my prompts?

    No. Only metadata is logged: token counts, the model and the time. Prompts are routed only to inference providers with a zero-data-retention policy, which process them in memory to answer and don't store them or train on them.

  10. 06.10

    Are there rate limits?

    Yes: 60 requests per minute per key by default (you can set a lower limit per key), 300 per minute per account, and 8 concurrent requests per key.
