FAQ

Frequently asked questions about AIMS.

What is AIMS?

AIMS (AI Marketplace & Settlement) is an on-chain settlement protocol for registering, licensing, and monetizing AI skills. It combines an AI relay station, on-chain copyright attestation, and a multi-party settlement engine.

How do I get an API key?

Connect your wallet at the API Station (/api-station), click Generate Key on any model or provider card. Your key is shown once — copy it immediately.

Which blockchains does AIMS use?

Currently AIMS contracts are deployed on Base (Coinbase L2). The relay, marketplace, and settlement services are chain-agnostic.

How much does it cost?

Basic tier is free (1,000 relay calls/day). Pro is $29/mo (10,000 calls/day). Enterprise is custom pricing with unlimited calls. IP attestation: L1 is free, L2 is $5 one-time, L3 is $19 one-time per skill (includes 10 attestations, plus gas fees). See /pricing for details.

Can I use my own AI provider keys?

Currently the relay uses AIMS-managed provider pools. Bring-your-own-key support for enterprise customers is planned.

Is my prompt data logged?

No. Relay prompts and responses are streamed, not stored. Only metadata (model, token count, latency) is logged for billing.

How do I become a reseller?

Go to /reseller/alliance to register as a reseller. You can set your own markup and earn commissions on relay usage.
