Send fees where they belong — to the creators.

Earn OpenRouter credits by holding $ATERA. Revenue from fees becomes inference credits, paid to holders every hour — spendable dollars of compute on Claude, GPT, Gemini and anything else OpenRouter routes to. Not a governance token, not a promise of future yield. You never sell a thing.

01 — The gap

Every fee ends up somewhere. Almost never with you.

This is not a complaint about fees being too small. BNB Chain has plenty of fee machinery — four.meme alone runs a 1% trade fee, a creator-fee mode that scales from 0.02% to 1% with market cap, and an on-chain royalty layer that splits trade fees by rule. The machinery works. The question nobody has answered is what the money is for.

A dollar of fees is a dollar of inference

Even the dividends pay you an asset

four.meme's tax mode already lets a project route its tax to holder dividends. The plumbing exists and it works. But a dividend pays you BNB, or more of the token you already hold — an asset you still have to sell before it does anything for you. It is the same bet, handed back in smaller pieces.

Atera pays in something you consume instead. A dollar of tax becomes a dollar of OpenRouter credit, sitting on a key you already know how to use. You never sell it. You spend it, the hour it arrives, on any model OpenRouter routes to — which means the fee comes back as the raw material for whatever you make next. Traders fund builders, and the builders are the holders.

The rate is set once, when the token is created, and four.meme writes it on-chain as an immutable rule. There is no owner key that can raise it later, no proxy to swap the logic out, and no governance vote that quietly moves the split. What you read here is what the contract will do for as long as it exists.

02 — Flight plan

Fees fall in. Compute comes out.

Three things happen between someone trading ATERA and you spending a model. None of them require you to sell, sign, or move anything.

Capture

The tax turns on at graduation

$ATERA launches on four.meme. While it is on the bonding curve no tax is charged at all. Once the curve fills and liquidity migrates to PancakeSwap, a 1% tax applies to every buy and sell and routes straight to the collector, which converts it to USDT before a cent is credited.

Downlink

The collector splits

30% of what the collector realises in USDT buys OpenRouter credit at face value — 0.30% of volume — and your share is written to your ledger every orbit. One dollar of tax becomes one dollar of inference — never a discount, never a markup.

Uplink

Claim a transponder

Claiming provisions an OpenRouter key carrying up to $200. Spend it down and claim again to raise its ceiling — the rest of your balance stays in the ledger rather than idling behind a credential you are not using.

The full path a trade takes after graduation. Green is the share of the tax that reaches holders; red is PancakeSwap's own pool fee, charged on top and paid to liquidity providers, which never reaches the collector. The dashed line is the orbit boundary, where the collector is closed and split.

03 — Every orbit

Sixty minutes, one split, one row.

A payout is a row in a ledger rather than an on-chain transaction, so there is no gas and no settlement latency forcing a slower cadence. BNB Chain reaches deterministic finality within a couple of blocks, so the orbit closes, the realised USDT is split by time-weighted balance, and your dashboard moves.

To the holder pool

$0.30

Converted to OpenRouter credit at face value and divided across every qualifying wallet by time-weighted balance.

To the ground station

$0.70

Retained for the people who keep it running — liquidity, infrastructure, growth, and the credit float that lets a claim settle the moment you ask for it.

Per $100 of volume: $1.00 of tax reaches the collector → $0.30 to holders, $0.70 to the station. PancakeSwap's 0.25% pool fee is charged on top and goes to liquidity providers, so a trader pays 1.25% all-in. Net, 0.30% of every dollar traded arrives as spendable credit.

Time-weighted, not snapshot

Eligibility is measured on your average balance across the whole orbit rather than at one instant. Dropping below the 100,000 floor mid-orbit costs you that orbit; topping up thirty seconds before it closes does not buy you in. Weight below the floor is redistributed to the holders who do qualify — as is the weight held by the liquidity pool, the collector, the locker, the burn address and every exchange wallet, none of which have a single owner who could claim.

04 — Transponder

One key at a time.

A transponder is an ordinary OpenRouter key with a ceiling. Claiming raises that ceiling by whatever you have accrued, up to $200 at a time. Credit you have not drawn stays in the ledger, where it is still yours, rather than sitting idle behind a credential you are not using.

One key, every tool

What you claim is a plain OpenRouter key. Point your editor, your agent, or your own code at it and the balance you earned does the paying — no Atera SDK, no wrapper, nothing to install.

Claude Code speaks its native protocol straight to OpenRouter. Set the gateway variables and launch — no proxy in between.

05 — Beacon

A fee stream with somewhere to go.

$ATERA is a BEP-20 token launched on four.meme and trading against WBNB on PancakeSwap V2. Fixed supply, no mint function, no treasury unlock. Its 1% transaction tax was written on-chain when the token was created and is immutable — no owner key can raise it, pause it, or redirect it.

Questions from the ground.

Do I have to sell anything to get paid?

No. Credit accrues against your wallets' balance of $ATERA and is settled in dollars. Selling does not trigger a payout, and holding does not require any transaction — you never sign anything to earn.

What happens to my accrual if I sell?

Weight stops accruing from the block you sell. You keep everything already credited, and the orbit you sold in pays for the fraction of it you actually held — provided your average across that orbit still clears the floor.

I hold $ATERA on an exchange. Do I earn?

No — and this is the one that catches people. An exchange holds every customer's tokens in a handful of omnibus wallets, so the chain cannot tell your balance from anyone else's, and crediting the exchange would credit the exchange rather than you. Those wallets are excluded and their weight is redistributed to holders in self-custody. If you want to accrue, hold $ATERA in a wallet whose key is yours.

Is $ATERA a tax token?

Yes, and we would rather say it plainly than let a scanner say it for us. Every buy and sell after graduation pays 1%. What matters is the shape of it: the rate was set once when the token was created, four.meme wrote it on-chain as an immutable rule, and there is no owner key, proxy or governance path that can raise it, pause trading or blacklist a wallet. The usual reason to fear a tax token is that someone can change it on you. Here nobody can — us included.

When does accrual actually start?

At graduation, not at launch. While $ATERA is still on four.meme's bonding curve no tax is charged, so nothing accrues and no credit is earned — buying early gets you a position, not a yield. The tax switches on when the curve fills and liquidity migrates to PancakeSwap, and the first orbit closes an hour later.

Which models can I use?

Anything OpenRouter routes to — Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, DeepSeek V4 and Kimi K3 among several hundred others. The transponder is an ordinary OpenRouter key with a spend ceiling, so every model, SDK and framework that already works with OpenRouter works unchanged.

Do you see my prompts?

No. Your requests go from your machine to OpenRouter with your key. We provision the key and read its spend total; we never proxy the traffic and never see its contents.

Who is eligible?

Any wallet holding at least 100,000 $ATERA, measured on its time-weighted average across the orbit rather than its balance at one instant. Weight below the floor is redistributed to holders who do qualify.

Do smart accounts and contracts earn?

Smart accounts do. EIP-7702 has been live on BNB Chain since the Pascal upgrade, and a wallet delegated under it still has a private key and a person behind it, so it is treated exactly like any other holder. Ordinary contracts do not: the liquidity pool, the collector, the locker, the station and the burn address all hold $ATERA but have no owner who could ever claim.

How often does it pay?

Every orbit — sixty minutes. Because a payout is a ledger row rather than an on-chain transaction, there is no gas or settlement latency forcing a slower cadence.
