Shipping the testnet

Sun Jun 14 2026 03:00:00 GMT+0300 (Israel Daylight Time)

The QueraIS testnet is live on Arbitrum Sepolia. Here's what actually works today.

Call it like OpenAI

Change one line — the base URL — and your existing OpenAI code runs on the network:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://gateway.querais.xyz/v1", api_key="sk-...")
r = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="llama3.2",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain Arbitrum in one sentence."}],
)
print(r.choices[0].message.content)

Streaming works, a model picker works, and there are official SDKs — @querais/sdk on npm and querais on PyPI — that add the marketplace surface (routing options, node/stats introspection, batched-settlement sessions) on top of the OpenAI protocol.

Run a node in one command

Got a GPU and Ollama? One launcher installs Node and Ollama if you need them, downloads and checksum-verifies the node, auto-claims $QAIS from the faucet, stakes, registers on-chain, and starts serving — no config to edit. You keep 95% of every job.

Settlement that doesn't nickel-and-dime you

Pre-fund a credit account, sign one EIP-712 spending cap, then fire thousands of calls — they batch-settle in a single on-chain transaction, so per-call gas is effectively zero. The gateway can only ever settle at the prices in your signed job specs, never beyond your cap.

What's next

The trusted-gateway model is the starting point, not the destination — on-chain auction, a P2P mesh, and a decentralized oracle remove it piece by piece. Follow along on the roadmap, and if you build something, tell us.
