Why developers switch to RuAPI
Pay with crypto, not just a card.
Top up in USDT (TRC20 / BEP20 / Polygon) — no bank card and no ruble-payment lock-in.
Native Anthropic API, not just an OpenAI wrapper.
Claude works both over the OpenAI protocol and the native /v1/messages — Claude Code and the Anthropic SDK run unchanged.
One key — Claude, GPT, Gemini.
Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek and GLM on a shared USDT balance — no separate accounts.
