Would you pay 2.5% more than Openrouter if it funded universal income?

Quick context: OpenRouter charges 5% margin on top of

provider rates. We charge 2.5% margin + a 5% solidarity

share that's redistributed monthly to KYC-verified humans.

So routing through OpenIncome costs you 7.5% instead of 5%, a 2.5-point delta.

For perspective: that's about one-eighth of a standard

US restaurant tip. Every cent of the 5% leaves our P&L

and lands on a public ledger.

Honest question for builders here, would 2.5 points stop

you from switching?

If not, what would close the gap?

— Tax-deductibility in your jurisdiction

— A "powered by OpenIncome" badge with measurable lift

— Co-branding on the public ledger

— Lower rates from aggregated donor demand

— Something else entirely

— I'd switch as-is, no incentive needed
