Been burned by an api price hike mid-quarter more times than i'd like to admit.

Nice to finally solving the problem.

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

when you buy a forward on Quota, the LP on the other side staked collateral to guarantee delivery.

if access fails, they get slashed. you get compensated in usdc.

read your current vendor's tos and see who owes you.

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

skip the signup flow.

connect a wallet, sign a message, you're in.

the same wallet holds every contract you buy. your api access sits alongside the rest of your onchain positions.

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

Your stack pulls from OpenAI, Stripe, and a geo provider.
Three bills, three pricing risks, three ways to get throttled.

Hedge all three on one marketplace, settled in USDC.

Less time juggling vendor portals.

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

Your team budgeted for 20M API calls in Q3 but you used 12M?

Sell the other 8M to a team about to blow through their limit. They pay below spot, you get the cost back.

That's 8M calls of recovered runway.

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

The worst throttle hits are invisible until they happen.

No warning email or grace period. Just 429 error in at 11pm during your biggest traffic day.

Reserved bandwidth means that day looks different.

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

This is the clearest breakdown we've seen so far.

APIs as tradable commodities. That's exactly where this goes.

[Lewis Nueve @Nuev9999]

I finally understood what @QuotaProtocol is actually building.

It's not another API gateway.

It's trying to build a financial market for API capacity.

Think oil futures... but for AI APIs.

Instead of buying API calls on demand, you reserve future bandwidth, lock in your price, and settle on-chain.

The most interesting part?

Your API keys never leave your infrastructure.

The gateway only meters request volume—it doesn't see your auth tokens, payloads, or data.

If this gains liquidity, APIs stop being just infrastructure and start behaving like tradable commodities.

That's a fascinating idea.

Spot is fine until it isn't. Ask anyone who shipped the day OpenAI changed tiers.

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

Short-term or long-term, you pick the window.

Covering a product launch - buy a 7 day forward.
Running a quarter of heavy AI inference - lock a 90 day position.

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

What happens if you use less than your full quota before expiry?

The unused balance is yours. Sell it on the secondary market before the contract closes, or let it expire and receive the proportional USDC refund.

You don't lose what you don't use.

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

Contracts are priced in USDC. Settlement is in USDC. LP fees are in USDC.

No exposure to token volatility when you're hedging. You're buying price stability with a stable asset.

The token sits in the mechanism layer, not in the payment layer.

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

Quota Protocol doesn't hold your API keys.

The gateway routes requests and meters usage. Your credentials stay on your side. The protocol only sees call volume - not what's inside the requests, not your auth tokens, not your data.

Non-custodial by design.

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

launching a product next month?

reserve API bandwidth before the spike. a liquidity provider stakes collateral to guarantee it. if they fail, they pay you out.

your launch wont rekt because of someone else's capacity planning, right?

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

Your quota balance is a token. Which means it's transferable.

Bought more than you need? Send the balance to a teammate, sell it on the secondary market, or hold it until you need the capacity. It moves like any other asset in your wallet.

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

Not every API tier is available on day one. We're starting with the ones where resale is explicitly permitted by the vendor license.

That's intentional. The protocol only lists tiers where the contract is legally clean. No grey market, no risk of getting shut down mid-position.

@0x_fr3d Good point, community is on the way. Telegram dropping soon - want to get the core protocol stable first before opening the doors.

Follow to catch the link when it goes live.

@irish072006 Will drop it soon. Stay close.

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

One dashboard. Every position you hold, every contract active, every balance drawing down in real time.

Buyer or LP - your full exposure is visible in one place. No spreadsheet, no manual reconciliation with a vendor portal.

Contracts have expiry dates. When yours expires, settlement runs automatically onchain.

No claim to file. No support ticket. No waiting. The smart contract calculates what was used, what wasn't, and closes the position. USDC flows to the right wallets without anyone pressing a button.

[Quota Protocol @QuotaProtocol]

@SpeedevsO Head to https://t.co/y30Hwef57a, connect your wallet, go to the staking section.

Pick a contract tier you want to back, stake your tokens as collateral, and set your SLA terms. When the contract settles, USDC fees hit your wallet automatically.
