Welcome to Gonka Broker
Gonka Broker gives you access to open-source large language models running on the world’s largest decentralized GPU network — with none of the crypto complexity.
You sign up with email or Google, top up your balance with a regular credit card, and get an API key that works with the tools you already use.
Why Gonka Broker
Section titled “Why Gonka Broker”- OpenAI-compatible API — change two lines of code in any OpenAI integration and it works with Gonka
- Market-based pricing — decentralized GPU supply typically means lower costs than centralized providers
- Standard billing — pay in USD via credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, stablecoins, and other methods
- Privacy by design — your prompts and completions are never logged or stored by Gonka Broker
Two types of API keys
Section titled “Two types of API keys”Gonka Broker offers two ways to connect, depending on your use case:
Managed keys
Section titled “Managed keys”Best for: using third-party tools (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Cursor) or dropping in as an OpenAI replacement.
Traffic is routed through Gonka Broker, which provides full OpenAI API compatibility. You get a gk-prx-* key that works anywhere an OpenAI key works.
Direct keys
Section titled “Direct keys”Best for: building your own products with the Gonka SDK.
Traffic goes peer-to-peer between your application and the GPU network — Gonka Broker only handles billing. Lower latency, maximum privacy.
