# Tokenbreak

> A commercial break for your tokens. Opt-in ads for Claude Code. Advertisers reach developers while Claude thinks; developers earn USDC toward their subscription. Ads never touch your code or your context.

Tokenbreak is an independent project for Claude Code. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.

## For developers (earn)

- Install inside Claude Code: `/plugin marketplace add tokenbreak/tokenbreak` then `/plugin install tokenbreak@tokenbreak`.
- The mod shows one labeled banner above the prompt, an optional status-line sponsor, and on wide fullscreen terminals a Theater pane while Claude works.
- Developers earn 50% of net ad revenue, paid in USDC on Base to their own wallet. $10 minimum, 30-day hold, daily caps (120 banner and 20 theater impressions).
- Pause with `/ads pause 1h` or `/ads pause today`; resume with `/ads resume`.
- Privacy: the mod sends only ad id, format, timestamp, an opaque turn id and a random device id. It never reads code, prompts or replies, and ads never enter the model's context.

## For advertisers (buy)

- Status Sponsor (status): The status line, under the prompt. $5 CPM. Headline up to 40 characters.
