# No Sign-Ups

We removed the sign-up barrier to free AI.

### No account, ever

* No email.
* No password.
* No wallet connection required to chat.
* No profile, no onboarding, no identity verification.

You open the terminal and start using it. That's the entire flow.

### Why we did this

Sign-up walls exist to capture identity and build profiles. They're friction, and they're surveillance. For a tool meant to give *everyone* access to AI, both are the wrong default. Removing accounts:

* **lowers the barrier** to zero — anyone can use it instantly,
* **protects anonymity** — we can't profile a user we never identified,
* **keeps it honest** — "free and private" with an account requirement is neither.

### How limits work without accounts

Free usage is protected from abuse with lightweight, **anonymous** fair-use limits (a per-visitor daily allowance) — not with identity. See **Limits & Fair Use** for details. No personal data is required to enforce them.

### The trade-off, stated honestly

Anonymous, account-free access means limits are necessarily approximate (there's no perfect way to count "people" without identity). We accept slightly fuzzier limits in exchange for keeping the door open and the user anonymous. If you want guaranteed higher throughput, the right path is to **contribute a node** and grow the network — not to create an account.
