Description
I built a pool-based proxy that hacks Claude Code's pricing tiers. To actually use Claude Code you need Max at $200/mo, and then most of that capacity sits idle anyway.So ClawPool lets subscribers pool their OAuth tokens and earn up to $120/mo from the spare capacity. Everyone else gets Opus, Sonnet, all models for $8/mo.Setup — they actually support proxies themselves via standard env params: export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="your-pool-key" export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://proxy.clawpool.ai" claude

Could you build this?
Yes This is a reverse proxy service that rotates upstream OAuth sessions, monitors token usage, and handles basic metering.
