ZeroRouter 🌊 — AI Inference at the Speed of Light

ZeroRouter is a high-performance, decentralized API gateway built for the Solana Blitz Hackathon. It enables True Per-Token Micropayments for AI inference using MagicBlock Ephemeral Rollups.

🚀 The Vision

Autonomous agents should not be throttled by credit card limits or monthly subscriptions. ZeroRouter allows agents to stream tokens and pay for them in real-time, exactly like a utility bill—settling every single token chunk on-chain with zero gas fees and sub-millisecond latency.

🏆 Why ZeroRouter Wins

1. Market Disruption: The "OpenRouter" Killer

• Traditional (OpenRouter/ChatGPT): Requires centralized credit systems, monthly subscriptions, and trust in a middleman to account for usage.
• ZeroRouter: 100% Decentralized. You pay exactly what you burn, settled in real-time on-chain. No deposits held by a centralized entity.

2. Technical Execution: The Ultimate MagicBlock Showcase

• Ephemeral Rollups (ER): We utilize ER for the most demanding use case—token streaming. Every single token is settled 1:1 gaslessly, providing the throughput of a centralized server with the security of a blockchain.
• Zero-Friction UX: A true "Pay-as-you-Inference" experience where the user (or agent) never has to sign 1000 transactions manually. The ER handles the delegation, providing sub-millisecond accounting.

3. Performance & Security

• Sovereign Rust Core 🦀: Built 100% in Rust (using Axum and Tokio) for <10ms response times and maximum memory safety—aligning with the ZeroClaw philosophy.
• Minimal Footprint: Gateway runs in a SCRATCH-based Docker image for a near-zero attack surface.
