TokenFund – Community-funded API infrastructure for AI apps

Summary: TokenFund enables developers to have their community directly fund the API costs of AI-powered apps like those using Claude and ChatGPT. It provides transparent usage tracking and a public funding page to cover infrastructure expenses during pre-revenue and validation stages.

What it does

TokenFund creates a public funding page where supporters finance actual API usage, allowing builders to cover infrastructure costs without charging users. It tracks usage transparently to keep funding aligned with consumption.

Who it's for

It targets indie hackers, student founders, AI developers, and anyone building pre-revenue projects that consume costly API credits.

Why it matters

TokenFund solves the problem of developers bearing API costs during early development by enabling community-backed funding tied directly to app usage.
