Credits

Conversion

$1 = 1,000 credits, always. A provider price of $X per 1M tokens is exactly X credits per 1K tokens.

Margin

Consumer price = provider cost × 1.20. The flat 20% platform fee pays for the gateway, the ledger and support. It is returned on every response:

"sonnely": { "credits_charged": 9.0, "margin_bps": 2000 }

Deposits credit in full — the fee applies at call time, never at funding.

Funding

1. Send USDG (6 decimals) or ETH on Robinhood Chain (4663, testnet 46630) to the published treasury address.
2. Claim: POST /api/deposits/claim with { txHash, asset, chainId }.
3. Credits land instantly. They never expire, earn nothing, and cannot be withdrawn.

Short balance

A 402 names the credits a request needed, so scripts can decide whether to top up or back off. Failed or empty calls are never charged.
