This is huge for Bitcoin. Agents might drive the next phase of BTC adoption.

Agents want to use money. Bitcoin makes it possible. Join us on Wed, March 18 for our next AI + BTC community call at 10am PT/1pm ET/5pm UTC.
With Lightning, anyone anywhere can integrate payments into their apps. Vibe coders, devs, agents. Instant, high volume, low fee. L402 makes the internet machine-native with built-in authentication.
Join us to learn more. Demo your projects. RSVP here: forms.gle/cfpXTatfXS4kwxz57

waay back in 2020, I designed the L402 protocol to solve authentication+payments on the web for machines 🤖 -> lightning.engineering/posts/…
flash forward to 2026, and now the machines are intelligent, kicking off a new era of personal AI agents
with the latest advancements in AI, the L402 protocol is more relevant than ever
today we're releasing a suite of CLIs, skills, and MCP servers to enable agents to *securely* transact on the web ⚡️
AI agents can write code, send emails, and make phone calls. But they still can't transact.
Today we're fixing that. Releasing a new set of tools that give agents native access to the Lightning Network: lnget for automatic L402 payments, MCP for node operations, remote signing for key isolation, and scoped credentials for spending control.
The machine-payable web starts now. And bitcoin makes it possible. ⚡🦞

Yesterday @lightning open sourced lightning-agent-tools, skills that let AI agents pay for things on the Lightning Network.

These skills include:
- Remote signing to keep private keys off the agent machine
- Macaroon bakery to limit what an agent can spend
- Aperture to sell API access for sats
- MCP server to securely query node state from any AI assistant
Check it out here! 🤖⚡️

Human attention is scarce. Tokens are not.
Give your AI agent Bitcoin, Lightning, and L402 superpowers with this prompt

If you’ve ever used or currently use terminal.lightning.engineeri… for managing your Lightning Node, we’d love to talk about your experience with the product. As we close the year, we’re looking to get feedback from users to help shape our roadmap. ⚡️
So, we want to hear from you! DMs are open 📥

1/11: With the latest release of Lightning Terminal, users can interact with Autopilot functionality through a new tab specifically designed for easy, simple setup of AutoFees and AutoOpen.
Check it out and connect your node today!

The latest release of Lightning Terminal includes Sankey diagrams of forwarding flows between your node’s top routes. Terminal continues to make strides on helping node operators better understand their data and, thus, their node.
Check it out! terminal.lightning.engineeri…
Very fun feature to work on with the team!
We believe Sankeys are perfect for visualizing forwards due to their inherent representation of flow networks. The width-proportional links make it easy to distinguish routes while maintaining visual clarity.

This rollout will mean that users can pay with USDT on Lightning at over 4 million Square terminals (once Tether is natively issued on Taproot Assets).
Few.
spend your bitcoin at @Square terminals.
merchant can choose to hold the bitcoin, or auto-convert it to fiat in real-time.
try it at bitcoin 2025 today. rolls out to more sellers this year.

Can't believe this just hit my radar. This is probably the most democratizing thing lightning has seen in years.
After @zerofeerouting dropped off my payments stopped being reliable and I gave up managing it for this very issue.
maybe I'll spin it back up...

b-b-b-but no one uses Lightning! 🤣
blocks may not be full, but a large portion of traffic has migrated off-chain, growing at a steady rate
...what if I told you, that anyone can join the LN, deposit some sats, and compete w/ the likes of Block? ⚡️
at @Lightning Labs we've built out key tooling to automate a large portion of the toil of node operation 🧵
The biggest news at @TheBitcoinConf just dropped. @milessuter shared that the c= routing node is earning 9.7% APR on its bitcoin liquidity (which I’d estimate at ~$10M, 50% of its 184 BTC of public capacity).
True non-custodial yield based on the utility of bitcoin payments. ⚡️

This project is sick. Re-bumping for anyone interested in AI tooling especially the intersection of AI, Bitcoin, and Lightning.
🎉 Thrilled to announce that @Roasbeef and I just won the Presidio Bitcoin Hackathon 2025 with Autonomous-Rekt - our tool combining LLM-Powered Fuzzing with @lightning payment rails! 🧵👇

I really don’t think we appreciate what the Bitcoin + LN + L402 + Taproot Assets tech stack is about to do—not just for Bitcoin, but for the world at large.
Bitcoin – Borderless, decentralized value exchange.
LN – A global payment network where micropayments are both technically and economically feasible—and scale!
L402 – Using the internet as intended: not just for information exchange, but also for value exchange.
Taproot Assets – Multi-asset Lightning. A global network where values of all varieties can be seamlessly routed.
We’ve done a great job laying the foundations. Now it’s time to break out of the Bitcoin bubble and bring real utility to the rest of the world.
Number of people about to go way up!!!
