For developers

Earn USDC for a small, clearly-labeled ad line in the AI tools you already run in the terminal — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or any command you point it at. One command sets it up. Nothing touches your code or keys.

Start earning

Install and run scode. On a fresh machine it walks you through it: pick where the ad line shows up, then connect a Polygon wallet (or sign in with Google). Prefer the wallet prompt up front? Pass --wallet. Your wallet is stored server-side; this machine only ever holds an encrypted token.

terminal
# install, then run the guided setup
npm install -g sponsored-code
scode

# or skip the wallet prompt if you already know it
scode start --wallet 0xYourWallet

# check status (account · integrity · state) anytime
scode status

Choose your tools

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and any other terminal AI tool — you keep running them exactly as you do now. Claude Code and Codex are built in; to add anything else, register it once:

  • 1. Run scode integrations.
  • 2. Choose Other CLIs.
  • 3. Enter the command name, e.g. aider.

Now run aiderlike usual and the ad line rides along — toggle any tool on or off from that same screen. Just want it for a single run? Skip the setup:

terminal
scode run aider

Pause or stop

Toggle earning whenever you want — scode off restores your tools untouched. The VS Code extension has the same switch: a pause/resume toggle and a clearly-labeled status-bar line.

terminal
scode off   # pause — restores your tools untouched
scode on    # resume earning

Get paid

You earn a share of every verified view, denominated in USDC. Earnings batch up and you claim them to your wallet on-chain whenever it’s worth the gas — the payout contract is public, so you can verify every settlement yourself.
