# VMCO Token Exchange

> LLM token exchange: contribute API keys for one model, earn credits, spend them on any other. Your GPT-4o tokens become Claude, Gemini, or DeepSeek tokens.

VMCO is a peer-to-peer marketplace for LLM tokens. Participants contribute API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or self-hosted), set their own markup, and earn credits when others use their capacity. Consumers spend credits to access any model through a single OpenAI-compatible API.

## Key facts

## How it differs from OpenRouter/LiteLLM

- Token exchange: contribute keys for models you have, use credits on models you need
- Aggregated capacity: dozens of providers pool keys, unlimited throughput
- Earn passive income from idle API subscriptions
