OpenCrater is the attention network for the terminal — built to pay developers for the AI coding they already do.
You already live in Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Copilot and Grok. OpenCrater turns that time into income, two ways.
Earn AI compute as a CLI user. Opt-in, clearly-labeled Blips appear at natural pauses while you code, topping up your compute wallet. Hit your weekly plan limit? Keep coding on the compute you earned — opencrater claude -c, opencrater codex -c, opencrater grok -c. Attention in, compute out. No card, no cash.
Earn real USDC as a maintainer. Ship a CLI, MCP server, or AI-agent tool? Register it and earn for every impression and click, paid out every 48 hours to your own wallet.
Developer-first by design. We never read your code, prompts, or files — only Blip events and a few coarse tags so you get paid. One-command opt-out with opencrater off. Auto-suppressed in CI and non-TTY pipes. Plain-text cards, with no tracking pixels, no popups, and no autoplay.
Five-minute setup: npm i -g opencrater, then opencrater login. The SDK is installable today, and the network is open to the public.
