The Only Tool you Need for Uncensorable Access to AI

Routstrd is unlike any other inference provider — because it's notan inference provider. It's a tool, powered by Nostr and Bitcoin, that works for you.

Nostr Network Lightning Payments No KYC TUI Included

Real-time visibility.

Routstrd comes with a beautiful Terminal User Interface that keeps you up to date on everything happening — which provider you're connected to, what models are available, and how your balance is doing.

I've been using Routstrd for a month. It was easier to battle-test as its primary user. The competition between nodes is already heating up, which means you're getting the best price for your sats.

How it works

Node Discovery

Constantly searches Nostr for Routstr/AI nodes in the background. Always knows where the good nodes are.

Auto-Routing

Finds the cheapest available provider for the model you want. Falls back to the next best based on availability.

Open Competition

Routstr nodes compete on price, latency, and uptime. You always get the best deal without thinking about it.

Zero Permissions

No KYC, no credit cards, no sign-ups. Bitcoiners get the best price and the best experience.

For teams

Hosted for Teams

routstrd-auth is a standalone auth proxy in front of the daemon — the public gatekeeper, while routstrd stays private on localhost.

Bearer-token auth (sk-...)
Per-member Nostr keys with admin-managed access
Usage tracking per member and client
Deploy with vanilla Docker or Cloudron
View on GitHub

Connect your team members

bash
$routstrd remote <your-instance>
$routstrd npubs add <member-npub>

Bitcoiners get the best price! And with Routstrd, Bitcoiners also get the best experience. The competition between Routstr nodes is getting heated right now and thus you're getting the best price for your sats.

RoutstrdBattle-tested for a month. Built by Bitcoiners, for Bitcoiners.
