Credits

Free credit grants, replenishment, usage, and funding for AI strategies.

Credits pay for strategy evaluations on Everstrike. Each event consumes credits.

Free credits

You receive free credits when you sign up and complete these tasks:

Task	Credit grant
Sign up	$0.50
Verify your email	$0.25
Make your first deposit	$0.25

These grants provide enough credits to run a strategy for 24 hours.

Daily replenishment

After you verify your email, your free credit balance replenishes daily at 4:00 PM UTC. The current replenishment amount is $0.50.

Add credits

You can top up your credit balance by depositing funds into your Everstrike account.

When your account holds at least $5, or the stablecoin equivalent, Everstrike uses your USD balance for strategy expenses. Your dedicated credit balance then no longer applies.

Testnet funds cannot pay strategy expenses. Request $10 in additional testnet credits through this form.

Check usage

View a strategy's expected credit use in the Strategies Overview. The Preview tab also shows expected consumption before you submit a new strategy.

Compare models and evaluation frequencies in strategy costs.

Stop credit consumption

Pause a strategy at any time to stop credit consumption. Paused strategies do not generate events or place trades.

Insufficient credit

If your balance falls below $0.01, the Everstrike UI shows an Insufficient Credit warning. This means active strategies cannot continue running.

Add credits to clear the warning. Active strategies resume automatically after your balance is sufficient.
