Marginal cost → 0
When machines do the work, the cost of producing value collapses. The savings should circulate, not concentrate.
A protocol for the post-labour economy
Turning AI consumption into universal flexible income for humanity.
Companies and Institutions Contribute — fund the pool through a 20% avg solidarity tax on their AI consumption or direct donation.
Humans Receive — a monthly cash share, with no strings attached.

~20% AVG TAX · OPENINCOME LLM PROXY API
$0
Proxy for 100+ frontier LLMs · text · audio · video · image.
Example: 1,000 companies × €5,000/mo × ~20% = €1,000,000
Example: 1,000 companies × €5,000/mo × ~20% = €1,000,000
DIRECT DONATIONS
$0
For institutions and large companies that prefer to contribute outside the API.
Example: 50 institutions × €10,000 = €500,000
Example: 50 institutions × €10,000 = €500,000

When machines work, humans should still earn.
AI and robotics are absorbing more of the economy's productive energy every year. OpenIncome is the layer that ensures a slice of that productivity flows back — to everyone, everywhere.
Abundance, redistributed
AI generates value 24/7 with no fatigue. A thin slice of that flow funds a baseline for everyone — by design, not by promise.
Complementary, not replacement
Not a replacement for salaries or social systems — an additional income layer paid by the machines themselves.
03
Tax the flow, not the click.
We don't tax every micro-transaction. We tax money entering the system and money leaving it — so consumers and receivers contribute equally, with no friction inside.
Inbound — those who consume, pay.
Companies top up credits to use the API.
A small, transparent percentage goes straight to the universal-income pool. After that, every API call inside the system is tax-free at the call level — your latency and DX stay clean.
- Applied once on credit purchase
- Same rate for everyone — public & auditable
- No hidden markup on tokens
+5%
Outbound — those who receive, pay too.
Members pay back when they withdraw.
When a member withdraws their share — or any payout leaves the system — a symmetric percentage stays in the pool. Receivers contribute back, so the system regenerates itself at every cycle.
- Applied once on withdrawal / payout
- Same rate, same transparency
- Keeps the pool self-sustaining

One endpoint. Every frontier model.
Every model we proxy — text, image, video, audio, embeddings — is reachable through your single OpenIncome key. OpenAI-compatible, with provider failover and edge inference baked in.
