How Asale works, what it costs, and how to get your idle subscription earning — in plain terms.
Get started
What is AsaleA network that moves unused AI subscription capacity from people who have it to people who need it, settled per token in USDT.Price and authenticityWhy the price is below vendor list, how far below it goes, and what makes a lane's claim to be selling a given model worth anything.How it worksThe path one request takes from your terminal to an upstream model and back, and who gets paid for it.Install the clientDownload Asale for macOS, Windows or Linux, or install it from a terminal in one line.QuickstartEarn from an idle subscription, or buy your first tokens — five minutes, both directions.
Guides
Selling tokensOffer the subscription capacity you are not using, cap it per account per day, and get paid per token served.Buying tokensRoute Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI through Asale, choose exactly which models you will pay for, and keep your own subscription first in line.Agent securityThe client's Security page — a firewall between the agents on your machine and the model they talk to. Credential leaks, prompt injection, dangerous commands, destination control, on the request and on the answer.Plans & capacityWhat each subscription tier is worth on the market, and how Asale estimates how much of it is still free.Wallet & settlementDeposits, withdrawals, and what the three balances on your wallet actually mean.Buying USDTStarting from no crypto at all: buy your first USDT on an exchange and move it into your Asale wallet.

Change the base URL and the key; the rest of your code is untouched.Anthropic-compatible APIThe Messages API against the Asale gateway, with the official Anthropic SDKs. Change the base URL and the key; your request bodies stay as they are.Gemini-compatible APIgenerateContent against the Asale gateway, with the official google-genai SDKs.

Subscriptions
Selling a Claude subscriptionConnect Claude Pro, Max 5×, Max 20× or a Team/Enterprise seat, and what each tier is worth on the market.Selling a ChatGPT / Codex subscriptionConnect a ChatGPT Plus or Pro seat for Codex — including the model-slug quirk that makes this provider different from the rest.Selling a Gemini subscriptionConnect a Google Gemini Pro, Advanced or Ultra plan and offer its idle capacity.Selling Kimi (Moonshot)Two ways to connect Moonshot — a Kimi Code subscription by device code, or a platform API key billed against a balance. They behave differently.Selling Grok (xAI)Connect a Grok CLI subscription by device code, or an xAI platform key — and why some Grok model ids are deliberately not advertised.
AI tools
Buying with Claude CodeRoute Claude Code through Asale — which file changes, what is backed up, and how to put it back.Buying with CodexCodex needs one thing the other tools do not — a model chosen up front — because it picks from its own list rather than from the request.Buying with Gemini CLIPoint Gemini CLI at Asale through its dotenv file, and what that means for shells that already export the variables.Buying with OpenClawOpenClaw speaks whichever wire format it is configured for, which is why it is routed by a path prefix rather than by dialect.Buying with HermesThe one supported tool that does not keep its config in a dot-directory under your home — which is worth knowing before you go looking for it.Buying with opencodeFrom zero: install opencode, add funds, flip the buy switch — and why, like Codex, not picking a model is the same as not installing it.
How the platform works
How models are pricedEvery model sells for a fraction of its vendor list price — between 10% and 100% — set by how hard buyers are leaning on the sellers who are online, and recomputed every minute.How Asale saves you moneySix mechanisms, from a structural discount to not being billed for failures — and one that turns your own idle plan into a rebate.Metering & settlementWhere token counts come from, how they are cross-checked, and what stops a seller from inventing them.
