TOKENBREAK
Buy a break
Sheet 1/1For advertisers

Reach developers in the gap.

When someone asks Claude Code to do something, they wait and watch it work. Tokenbreak sells one labeled line in that moment, at a flat price, to developers who opted in to see it.

Sheet 2/5Why it works
R-01

The wait is real attention.

Ask Claude for something and you watch the terminal for ten seconds, a minute, sometimes five. People don't switch tabs for a ten-second wait. That's the window the banner sits in.

R-02

The audience is building.

Everyone who sees the ad is in the middle of making software. Databases, deploy tools, APIs, observability, dev courses: the stuff they'd look up next anyway.

R-03

One line can't be annoying.

No autoplay sound, no pop-ups, no retargeting pixels. A single labeled line, a picture on wide screens, and a link. Developers tolerate that. Many will click it.

Sheet 3/6Rate card

Three slots. No auctions, no guesswork.

Pick a format, write one line, pay a flat CPM. Every ad is labeled, reviewed by a human, and shown in the gap between asking Claude something and getting the answer.
