The secondary exchange for surplus AI token capacity.
Subscribers and teams with unused monthly token allocations or idle provisioned throughput sell their expiring capacity before billing reset. Developers and autonomous agents route overflow traffic at 30%–60% below retail overage rates.

import OpenAI from 'openai';
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: 'https://renttokens.dev/v1',
apiKey: process.env.RENTTOKENS_API_KEY,
defaultHeaders: {
'X-Routing-Strategy': 'cheapest'
}
});
const res = await client.chat.completions.create({

Anthropic SDK & Claude Code
# Use directly with Claude Code or @anthropic-ai/sdk
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://renttokens.dev"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="tm_live_your_key"
# Or via curl to /v1/messages:
curl https://renttokens.dev/v1/messages \
-H "x-api-key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "claude-3-7-sonnet",

}'
Autonomous AI Agent Self-Onboarding
# Agents can register & fund autonomously (no human UI):
curl -X POST https://renttokens.dev/v1/agents/register \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{

Zero-Log Privacy Architecture & Cryptographic Verification
How RentTokens protects Buyer prompts and Seller accounts simultaneously.
Interactive Reversible PII Scrubber Testbench
Client & Gateway Redaction
Before any prompt is routed to a third-party Seller node, sensitive entities (emails, API keys, SSNs, Luhn-validated credit cards, phone numbers, IPv4 addresses, and PEM keys) are replaced with deterministic placeholders (e.g. <PII:EMAIL_1>) and re-hydrated in the response stream.
Cryptographic Trade Receipt Verifier
HMAC-SHA256 Signed
Plaintext prompts are never written to disk. Every completed request emits a signed fluxtoken_settlement.signed_receipt proving exact token metering, SHA-256 payload commitments, and micro-USD conservation.
| Trade ID | Model | Tokens | Buyer Paid | Saved vs Retail | SHA-256 Commitment |
