Introduction

Welcome to the EarnKit documentation!

EarnKit is a monetization toolkit designed to help developers effortlessly add usage-based billing to their AI agents. Whether you want to offer a free trial, charge per use, or implement a sophisticated credit system, EarnKit provides the backend, SDK, and developer dashboard to get you up and running in minutes.

The Core Problem

Monetizing AI agents is complex. You need to:

  • Securely process micro-transactions without high gas fees.
  • Handle different pricing models (e.g., subscriptions, pay-as-you-go).
  • Prevent users from being charged for failed AI responses.
  • Provide a seamless top-up experience for end-users.
  • Track usage and revenue.

The EarnKit Solution

EarnKit solves these problems with a hybrid on-chain/off-chain architecture and a simple, powerful SDK.

  • Off-Chain Speed: All per-prompt charges happen off-chain in our database for instant, gas-free transactions.
  • On-Chain Security: User top-ups are standard on-chain transactions (e.g., ETH on Base Sepolia) sent directly to your developer wallet.
  • Reliable Billing: Our track/capture/release flow ensures users are only billed for successful AI operations.
  • Developer Dashboard: Manage your agents, configure fee models, and view usage logs all in one place.
