Inspiration

Monthly subscriptions pile up fast, especially for creators who bounce between several AI tools. We wanted a single, prepaid wallet that anyone can top-up once and spend anywhere—no contracts, no hidden renewals, just pay-as-you-go.

What BYC.ai Wallet does

1. Load credit once (Stripe checkout).
   
2. Run any AI service that plugs into our /partner/charge endpoint.
   
3. Watch every micro-debit post to Algorand TestNet for public proof and to your personal ledger in real time.
   
4. Self-serve for developers – generate an API key, drop in the JS SDK or iframe, start billing users per request.

How we built it (in 48 hours)

Challenges we tackled

• Bolt’s AI kept assuming a crypto-trading use-case—tight overlay prompts fixed the scope.
  
• Mapping tiny, sub-cent charges to Algorand and keeping them gas-free.
  
• Supabase RLS quirks when mixing user and provider roles in one schema.

What we learned

• Bolt’s overlay syntax is powerful—be explicit and it stays on track.
  
• Supabase edge functions are more than fast enough for micro-billing.
  
• You can build real, transparent pay-as-you-go infra without touching Solidity.

What’s next

• Swap Algorand TestNet for MainNet.
  
• Add rate-limited GPT-4/Claude live demos.
  
• Launch a public directory where AI tools can list themselves and users can one-click connect.
