Credits are being used for AI commands; with credits, we can charge for fair usage instead of using flat monthly fees. AI usage is very dependent on input, and these can vary significantly, especially for the /uhh command because it can perform many queries for you before giving an answer.
[!warning] You do NOT need credits for non-AI commands (e.g. token scans); they are only used for AI related commands.
How does it work?
Every chat/user gets some credits for free. You need credits to use the AI commands.

How to top-up?
Telegram
Simply use the /topup command to get started. In Telegram the only way to top up is using Telegram Stars, they can be bought inside the Telegram app. You can also buy Stars with crypto on Fragment.
Stars can also be 
gifted. But you can NOT gift Stars you already own 
This payment process is handled by Telegram; bots are required to use this method for any transaction: more info about Telegram Stars.
Adding credits to your group
Credits bought always get added to your personal balance. Even if you run /topup in a group, any user that pays the invoice will receive a top-up. You can use your personal balance to add credits to any group. Just run /transfer <amount> in the group chat you want to add credits to, for example: /transfer 100 to transfer 100 credits from your personal balance to the chat balance.
Discord
Discord users can reach out to buy more credits.
