TokenSwitchTokenSwitch FAQ
How is this different from official Claude / Codex APIs?
Consumers buy routed access to a provider's share. Providers keep their subscriptions and keys on their own node; the network handles routing, metering and invoicing.
Can I get banned for sharing?
You are responsible for complying with upstream provider terms. TokenSwitch routes traffic but does not bypass provider policies.
What is a free share?
A share with freeAccess enabled: anyone signed in to the router can use it. A share is either freeAccess or listed on Share Market — never both.
How does the money actually reach me?
The platform never holds it. Each buyer–supplier pair has a USD credit account; when an invoice is issued the buyer pays you offline and declares it, and you confirm receipt. No commission, no withdrawal queue.
How does Share Market carpool work?
A listing can offer up to 20 seats, each with its own daily price, token limit and concurrency limit. There is no formation window — a paid seat starts with 12 free hours of healthy service, and access is granted once the owner confirms payment.
Does Share Market hold my money?
No. Buyers pay owners directly. The platform only grants router access after the owner confirms payment, and suspends service if an invoice goes unpaid.
What is the client vs TokenSwitch?
TokenSwitch is the network/ecosystem brand. The provider client runtime is cc-switch-server (desktop cc-switch is discontinued).
Do I need a public IP?
No. The client uses SSH reverse tunnels to connect to routers.
Can I self-host a router?
Yes. Deploy cc-switch-router on your own domain. See the docs for DNS, TLS and client onboarding.
Where is live network data from?
The site loads a baked snapshot at build time and refreshes from public router endpoints and the regions file when available.
