Your prompts go to Lethe.
Lethe is the river of forgetting in the myths around Elysium. Turn it on and what you ask is sealed, in your browser and inside the hardware that runs the model.
Nothing kept by default
We never store prompts or replies, and requests only go to providers that keep no data. The few models that can't are labelled, and stay off until you turn them on.
Sealed enclaves for open models
Lethe runs DeepSeek, Kimi and other open models inside hardware their host can't read. Anyone can check the attestation.
Sealed in your browser
In the chat, Lethe encrypts your messages before they leave the page. Not even Talos can read them.
Where the discount comes from
Stakers sell their spare credit. You buy it cheaper.
Stakers earn ICHOR
Every hour, TALOS trading fees mint ICHOR for stakers. 1 ICHOR is $1 of usage at the lab's list price.
They list what they don't use
Spare ICHOR goes on the book at 25% off by default. Checkout always buys the cheapest first.
You spend it on any model
Your purchase becomes API balance in the same step, charged at the lab's list price with no markup.

For TALOS holders
Every TALOS trade pays stakers.Every ICHOR sold burns TALOS.
Buybacks every hour
Trading fees buy TALOS for the staking vault every hour, so each sTALOS is worth more TALOS over time, never less.
ICHOR every hour
While ICHOR is in demand, stakers earn it too. Use it for your own AI, or sell it. Sell and restake is on by default.
Usage burns TALOS
Every ICHOR sale pays a 5% fee from the seller, or 2.5% when restaked. The fee buys TALOS and burns it.
Unstaking takes 7 days. Leaving at once costs 10%: half is burned, half stays with the stakers who remain.

Why it holds up
Cheaper, without the catch.
Cheap AI often runs on shared subscriptions that get cut off. Talos buys every request at the API price and keeps none of your prompts.
Private by default
We never store prompts or replies, and only use providers that keep no data. Models that can't are labelled, and off until you turn them on.
Can't be cut off
No pooled subscriptions. Every request is bought at the API price, so there's no shared account to get banned.
Backed and public
Each ICHOR is backed by $1.06 of USDC in an on-chain reserve. The reserve, the book and every burn are public.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Everything else is in the docs.
Do I need TALOS to use Talos?
No. Anyone can buy ICHOR at checkout with USDC or HYPE and get a key straight away. TALOS is for people who want to earn ICHOR by staking.
What is 1 ICHOR worth?
$1 of usage on any model, at the lab's list price: the price OpenRouter shows. Every ICHOR is backed by $1.06 of USDC in the reserve, enough to buy that usage after OpenRouter's fee.
Why is it cheaper than buying from the lab?
Stakers earn ICHOR every hour from TALOS trading fees and list what they don't use, at 25% off by default. Checkout buys the cheapest first, so TALOS trading pays for your discount. No subscriptions are pooled.
Can anyone read what I ask?
We never store prompts or replies, and requests only go to providers that keep no data. With Lethe on, the chat encrypts each message in your browser for a sealed enclave, so not even Talos can read it. Your history stays sealed in your browser, and anyone can check the enclave's attestation.
What if there's no ICHOR on the book?
Checkout mints new ICHOR for $1.06: $1 of usage plus OpenRouter's credit fee, about what OpenRouter costs. The price table shows the real price at every moment, and stops claiming a discount when there isn't one.
Can I cash ICHOR out?
Not at the reserve: ICHOR is prepaid AI usage. If you'd rather have USDC, list it on the marketplace and sell it to someone who'll use it. A 5% fee comes out of the sale.
Is TALOS an investment?
No. Staking TALOS earns a share of what TALOS trading pays for: buybacks and ICHOR. That depends on people trading TALOS and buying AI through Talos, and it can shrink or stop. Crypto prices move, and you can lose what you put in.
