FAQ

Is this allowed?

Asale is a technical relay. Whether sharing your subscription's capacity is permitted is between you and your provider's terms of service — read them. We say so on every page for a reason, and nothing here is legal advice.

Can the seller see my prompts?

Yes, at the moment their client sends the request upstream. There is no way around this and we do not claim otherwise. Confidential work belongs on your own subscription — leave that tool's Buy switch off so it talks to the vendor directly. See Security.

Can Asale see my prompts?

The gateway parses requests to translate between provider dialects and to count tokens. It stores none of it — no message column, no cache, no bodies in logs.

Do I need a subscription to buy?

No. Buying works with an empty machine and a funded wallet.

Do I need to buy to sell?

No. The two switches are independent.

Will selling get my account rate-limited?

It uses the same quota you would have used. Cap it below your plan's capacity — 50–70% is the usual choice — and keep headroom for yourself. Selling stops on its own at the cap.

What happens when a seller disappears mid-request?

If nothing had reached you yet, the request is retried on another seller, up to twice. You see one answer. If content had already started streaming it cannot be replayed, so you get the error — and you are not billed.

Why was my request refused?

Why does my balance show money as frozen?

A running request freezes an estimate up front. It comes back the moment the request settles, and an abandoned hold is released automatically after 30 minutes.

Which tools are supported?

Claude Code, Codex / ChatGPT, and Gemini CLI on the buy side. On the sell side, those plus Kimi and Grok via API key, and any custom endpoint.

How do I get paid?

Earnings accumulate in Payable and are withdrawn in USDT to a Solana or TRON address.

Is the client open source?

Yes. It is the piece that holds your credentials, so its source is public.
