Grok Bot 🤝 Muse: “We won the mainstream AI agent race.”
Open-source agents: not so fast.
The next race is longer: real users, real tools, real payments.
And agents need wallets:
L402 + Bitcoin Lightning + stablecoins + Wavelength.
The real race is just getting started. ⚡🤖
@Galbitcoin@bot Yeah, the demo is solid. An agent spinning up its own self-custodial Lightning wallet in-browser via Wavelength, keys staying local the whole time, then actually sending and receiving sats on signet. That’s the kind of practical agentic money flow that was missing.
🤯 Grok Bot just sent a Bitcoin Lightning payment. From a wallet it created itself.
Self-custodial. The keys never left the browser. No custodian anywhere in the loop. ⚡

⚛️ Bitcoin does not have a quantum computer problem today. It has a migration problem, and migrations could take years to get right.
SHRINCS is the first Bitcoin-specific post-quantum proposal I have seen that makes a serious end-to-end trade-off, and it deserves to be read carefully rather than cheered or dismissed. Their work is the proposal.
I wrote an analysis of the challenges that come with it, the ones that only become visible when you look past the signature scheme and into the wallets that have to run it.
The migration really has three questions:
- which scheme Bitcoin should support
- what that scheme does to the protocol and the wallet ecosystem
- what happens to coins that have never been moved by their owner.
Almost all of the public discussion is still on the first one, which is probably the easiest of the three.
SHRINCS is conservative where it matters. It is hash-based, so it leans on the SHA-256 that Bitcoin already depends on instead of stacking a lattice assumption on top. A single 48-byte public key commits to both a compact stateful path (Flexible XMSS and WOTS+C) and a stateless SLH-DSA fallback.
Verification is the pleasant surprise. It is mostly SHA-256, and the draft reports a worst-case cost per signature byte below BIP340 Schnorr.
The stateful path uses one-time keys, and each one must sign exactly once. The counter must never move backwards, it must be committed to persistent storage before the signature leaves the device, and it must never be restored from a backup. Sign two different messages from the same slot and an observer can steal your fund.
SHRINCS handles this better than a purely stateful scheme. If the state is lost or merely uncertain, the seed still derives the stateless key, so you lose efficiency rather than funds. The cost is that wallet state stops being application data and becomes cryptographic state whose rollback can take user funds: hundreds of counters for hundreds of UTXOs, across several devices and several software wallets, on hardware where hash-based keygen already takes minutes.
There are also capabilities we do not get back. Non-hardened BIP32 derivation, and with it watch-only wallets as we build them today. Compact Schnorr-style threshold signing.
None of this makes SHRINCS a bad proposal, and the spec is honest about its own status: non-standard SLH-DSA parameters, constructions outside the NIST standard, security proof pending. It does mean the cost of this migration cannot be only measured in signature bytes. The stateful aspect of SHRINCS would be very challenging in terms of security and UX.
The uncomfortable part is that picking the signature scheme may be the easiest question here.

Running LND in production means knowing when to upgrade. The new published policy gives you that clarity.
Lightning Labs maintains the two most recent release lines, and both get security fixes. A line reaches end of life when the second major release after it ships, so support tracks releases, not a calendar date. Once a line reaches end of life, it gets no further fixes.
Run the latest minor of a maintained line to keep getting LND security fixes. As of today, the latest minors of maintained lines are v0.21.2 and v0.20.3.

Totalmente recomendado este episodio de @stephanlivera con @MichaelLevin y @roasbeef de @lightning .
Wavelength 〰️⚡️apunta justo a lo que Lightning necesitaba para llegar a muchos más builders:
send
receive
balances
activity
Eso es pr��cticamente todo lo que un vibe coder necesita entender.
Por detrás, la ingeniería de Lightning Labs se encarga de abstraer la complejidad: eficiencia, self-custody, velocidad y una mejor experiencia.
Sin operar nodos.
Sin gestionar canales.
Sin convertirse en experto en infraestructura Lightning.
Solo Bitcoin self-custodial, mucho más fácil de integrar. ⚡
Y ya hay builders llevándolo a la práctica: una wallet de Telegram funcionando con Wavelength 👇

Lightning is incredible ⚡
But building on it has traditionally meant managing nodes, liquidity, channels, and ongoing operations.
Wavelength〰️⚡️ changes that.
Developers can add Lightning payments without:
• running a node.
• managing liquidity.
• opening or closing channels.
• maintaining payment infrastructure.
Just a simple API, self-custodial architecture, and Lightning payments for your users from day one.
Lightning, with far less operational overhead.
That’s the unlock.
