The askr roadmap.

Every update we ship, where we started, and where we’re going. One line: the versions behind us, then the plan ahead in the order we’ll work on it. The order moves when people tell us what they need.

Goes straight to the team’s support channel. No account needed.

  1. v1.2Your @ and your referrals, live now

    Every account gets an @ and a referral link. Anyone who joins through it pays you for life: 10% of their top-ups in credits the moment they land, and 10% of their fees once fees are on. No ceiling.

    • An @ on every profile: a username account's handle is its @; email and wallet accounts can claim one. heyaskr.ai/r/<your code> is your link. How referrals pay.
    • 10% of every referred top-up, paid to you in credits the moment their deposit credits. Automatic, once per deposit, never out of their balance.
    • 10% of their fees, when fees are on. Accrued per run and paid hourly as credits. Nothing accrues while v1 is feeless; switching the fee on is the only change left for that to start.
    • A referral link survives the sign-up: the code follows every door (username, wallet, email) and holds for 30 days.
    • Support where things go wrong: @askrsupportbot in the chat rail, under any refunded reply, on the top-up card, in the account tabs and at the foot of sign-in.
    • Wallet fixes: a wallet that is an account's only way in can no longer be unlinked; BNB pays from a wallet with a proper QR; WalletConnect opens one modal, not two; Robinhood Chain is the active chain on phones.

  2. v1.1Made for crypto people

    Sign in with a username and password or with a wallet, no email needed. Link the wallet that holds ASKR and the account shows what you hold. Top up the crypto way.

    • Sign in without an email: a username and password, or a wallet signature. An email can be added later for recovery.
    • Wallet sign-in on any wallet, through WalletConnect as well as browser wallets.
    • Holdings on your account: ASKR held, share of supply, your band and the fee discount it earns, read from the chain on link, on demand and daily.
    • Top up the crypto way: ten coins as tiles with a search under them, a checkout card with the address in a box and a Copy button, and a tracker that follows the deposit from sent to credited.
    • A receipt by email when a deposit credits.
    • Support on Telegram: @askrsupportbot takes a ticket and relays the answer.
    • Chats follow the account across devices; the history is named by what each chat asks.
    • Drop a picture anywhere on the page to attach it; tap a generated image to see it full screen.
    • The code panel lists files by name, one open at a time, with Save all.
    • Models that stop answering hide themselves from the picker instead of failing your request.
    • The token page carries the contract address, the Team Finance lock, and the Buy and Chart buttons.

  3. v1.0Live, where we started

    heyaskr.ai is open: every major model behind one sign-in, priced at upstream cost, paid in crypto with no card and no subscription. ASKR launched on Robinhood Chain the day before.

    • Four doors from one balance: chat, code, image and video.
    • Feeless v1: a dollar in is a dollar of model; the processor's and the gateway's fees are absorbed.
    • The developer API at /v1, OpenAI-compatible, with per-key daily caps and askr.credits_charged on every response.
    • ASKR on Robinhood Chain, launched 18 September, an access token with bands by share of supply.
    • Docs at home on heyaskr.ai/docs, generated from the code, reading the catalog live.

What’s next

In the order we’ll work on it. No dates.

  1. 02Router rebuildUp next

    Today every request goes through one upstream gateway. We rebuild the routing layer to talk to providers directly: routing tiers so you can ask for fastest or cheapest, reasoning controls on the models that have them, zero-retention routing for work that must not be stored, a real image endpoint, speech in and out. Cheaper per request, faster, ours to control.

  2. 03Our own payment processor

    Deposits without a third party in the middle. Any token on any chain we support lands straight where credits are honoured: no processor fee to absorb, no forwarding step that can fail, more chains and coins added as fast as we can watch them, and settlement we control end to end.

  3. 04Fees on, and lower than anyone

    Only once the router and the processor are ours does a platform fee switch on, because only then is the cost base ours too. The fee will be lower than any comparable platform's and still leave askr a healthy margin, since nobody else takes a cut in the middle. Holders pay less from the first day, per the published rule.

  4. 05Built-in skills

    Packaged prompts and tool chains for the jobs people do every week, priced below doing them by hand. Each door gets its own set.

  5. 06Shared memory across models

    What you told one model is available to the next, on your account, under your control. Switch from a coder to a writer to an image model without re-explaining who you are or what you are building.

  6. 07Fusion models

    A composite model per person, assembled from your own workload and work type: which models you reach for, what you ask them, what you keep. It routes each task to the model that does it best for you specifically, whether that means the strongest answer or the cheapest one. The most effective model in the catalogue becomes the one built around you.

  7. 08Credit trading

    Crypto to credits, credits back to crypto, and credits into a different crypto. The first tradeable AI credit. This changes what a credit is, from prepaid access to something with an exit, and the terms will say so before it ships.

  8. 09Buybacks and burns

    When revenue supports it, buybacks switch on and burns are considered, both following a rule published before they start. Never fee-sharing, never yield: ASKR stays an access token.

  9. Alongside every step, without pause: new models the day they land, new currencies as they are supported, fixes every week, and UX from what people tell us. All of it recorded above.
