Gateway allowlist request #1322
Request to be added as a Gonka gateway operator (devshard creator allowlist)
Hi Gonka core team & community,
We're requesting inclusion of our on-chain address in
devshard_escrow_params.allowed_creator_addresses so we can operate
our own devshard gateway rather than routing through a third-party
broker.
On-chain identity
- Devshard creator address (requested for allowlisting):
gonka15y6xg0ps5w0u4w3ttx557mf46v82ms8svcavy2 - This account is funded above
devshard_escrow_params.min_amountand has its on-chain pubkey published (secp256k1).
About the project
We're building an OpenAI-compatible inference gateway that uses Gonka
as its primary backend — a drop-in replacement for closed AI APIs
(developers change one base_url and keep their existing OpenAI SDK
code).
Under the hood, the gateway routes requests to Gonka by default and automatically falls back to a stable provider (OpenRouter) when the network is unavailable. The goal is to let end users run their workloads on Gonka — capturing the cost savings — without being exposed to the network's current instability, since the fallback transparently covers the downtime.
Why this helps the network
- Opens new demand that Gonka can't currently capture. A transparent fallback to stable providers makes the network usable for the large set of users who today can't rely on Gonka directly because of its uptime variance. They get Gonka-level pricing for the majority of traffic that does land on the network, instead of avoiding it entirely.
- Reliability engineering published back. We run automatic failover and capacity-aware routing in front of the network; we're willing to publish anonymized reliability and latency data (TTFT, tokens/sec, tail latency, error/refund rate), which the ecosystem currently lacks sustained public numbers for.
Supported models (intent)
We intend to serve all three currently governance-approved models:
qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b-instruct-2507-fp8moonshotai/kimi-k2.6minimaxai/minimax-m2.7
Governance and ops commitments
- We will respond to maintainer comments on this issue within one business day.
- We will adjust scope, staging, or framing in this issue rather than open a new one if maintainers prefer.

Closing this — after checking with the Gonka community, I realized we don't need to run our own devshard. Getting a broker key to send requests through node4 will be enough for our case. I'll likely open a separate issue requesting a broker key (or asking for documentation on how one can be obtained).
