A new Cloister

Under new stewardship, we rebuilt the whole site from the ground up — sealed, black, hand-made halftone art throughout, with reworked docs, dashboard, and disclaimer. The site finally looks like the product.

$CLOISTER + revenue buybacks

$CLOISTER went live on Base. 15% of every inference fee accrues to a transparent treasury, then auto-buys $CLOISTER on-market and burns it. A mechanic, not a promise — verify it at api.cloister.space/buybacks. (The token isn't a security — see the disclaimer.)

Cloister is live

Public launch. Sealed inference over 12 TEE-attested models, an OpenAI-compatible API you drop in with one line, pay-per-token in crypto, and anonymous keys — no email, no account, just a code. Sealed at the model, no logs at the proxy.
