Pool
How the Compute pool and staking work, with the network totals read from Base.
Compute pool
Your slice follows your share of the total stake, so staking more grows it. Unused limit expires at 00:00 UTC and does not roll over.
How staking works
- 1
Stake the vAPI token
Your stake sets the size of your daily Compute usage limit.
- 2
Daily limit
The limit is set from about 00:10 UTC, from the 00:00 UTC stake snapshot.
- 3
Use any OpenAI SDK
Point an OpenAI-compatible SDK at the Router base URL with a Router key.
Snapshot timing.
Your stake is read at 00:00 UTC and the limit is set from about 00:10 UTC, so a stake made today counts from tomorrow.
No rollover.
Unused limit expires at 00:00 UTC and never carries into the next day.
Withdrawal request.
Requesting a withdrawal removes that amount from your active stake immediately, so the next snapshot is lower.
Cooldown.
The staking contract sets the cooldown. When it ends, you withdraw from the Overview page or cancel before then.
Reviewer threshold.
The reviewer gate sets the active-stake threshold for reviewing tasks. Tasks is coming soon.
Agents.
Agents you link can use Router with their own daily limit, inside the limit your stake gives you.
