What changed
Material changes are announced here before they take effect.
September 2026
- ONE holders get a monthly balance credit.
Link an Arc wallet from the dashboard and a live on-chain balance check credits your account each month — from $0.50 at 1,000 ONE up to $40 at 10,000,000. No snapshot date, no staking contract.
Read about ONE credit → - Documentation is generated from the gateway's own catalog.
The errors page is built from the same error catalog the gateway serves, so a code cannot exist in one and not the other. Every page is also available as Markdown and in one combined corpus for agents.
Read the errors page → - The Open Tier adds no-deposit API access.
onerouter/auto:free serves API and playground requests at a permanent $0 charge with account-wide daily quotas. It never falls back to a paid model, even after you add credit.
Check availability → - Budgets: one spend ceiling across several keys.
Per-key caps could not express "these six agents cost at most $20 a day between them". Now a named budget can, and a 429 names which budget stopped the request.
Read about budgets → - Every response carries a route receipt.
x-onerouter-receipt resolves to the ordered candidate list, which host was tried, why each earlier one was skipped, and the TTFT of the one that answered. A failover is now a record, not a claim.
How failover works → - Content retention is off by default.
Prompts and completions are no longer captured unless debug capture is switched on for a specific key, and captures now expire after 60 minutes rather than 24 hours.
Data handling → - The auto router resolves before pricing.
onerouter/auto now picks a concrete model before the hold is taken, so the worst case you are quoted is the worst case you can be charged. The resolution table is public.
August 2026
- A calculator that runs on live catalog rates.
Pick a model, set a workload, read the figure. It uses the same published rates the ledger meters against.
Estimate a workload → - Direct stablecoin deposits start at $0.50.
Aggregated rails still start at $5 because of their flat fee. Deposit capabilities, copy and validation now all agree on the lower floor.
- Anthropic Messages and OpenAI Responses joined chat completions.
Three request shapes, one key, one catalog. Tool loops, images and structured output pass through untouched on all three.
- Keys exist before payment.
Setup returns an API key and a permanent recovery link before a payment address is shown, so a client can be configured and tested while a deposit confirms.
