Hashference

What makes it different

Hashference is an AI API where your computer pays for the AI: 45+ frontier models — Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, Kimi and more — through one OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API.

Instead of a credit card, you pay with work your CPU, GPU or ASIC does: send a request with no API key and no account and solve a small proof-of-work puzzle per request, leave a machine mining overnight via Stratum for credits, or pay with QUAI, Qi or other crypto — or stake QUAI for monthly credits.

Built by Dominant Strategies, the team behind Quai Network, on the x402 Work payment standard, Hashference runs on Quai and needs no email or KYC. It plugs into Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Cline and other coding tools, and offers an MCP server so agents can discover models, check balances and pay per call with compute.
