RGB Bug Bounty Program status update.
As AI-powered tooling reshapes not only how vulnerabilities are discovered, but the entire workflow around them, the very nature of bug bounty programs is changing. We're taking the time to study how to design and operate a Bug Bounty Program that makes sense in this new landscape: one that genuinely rewards meaningful security work, both for researchers and for the protocol.
We'll reopen submissions once we've defined a program structure suited to this moment.
Your agent wants bitcoin. And it can set up a Lightning node for you. 🤖⚡
We cover how to configure an OpenClaw agent with an LND node to enable L402 agentic payments.
If you're an AI dev who wants financial agency for your agent, or a Lightning dev who wants to go deeper in AI, this video is for you.

L402 is the standard for agentic commerce on Lightning. A machine-scale protocol built for the AI economy.
In this video, we show how agents can use L402 to pay for API access. No intermediaries, no logins, just bitcoin-native authentication. And no humans required. 🤖
RGB TALKS: What's live, what's next, where it's going.
At the @LuganoPlanB , @zoefaltiba of @bitfinex , developing the RGB Protocol on Bitcoin, shares insights on v0.11.1, private contracts, the roadmap, and the work on the RGB Lightning Node.
Check-out the full interview.
Agents want money. Bitcoin makes it possible. And now it works with agent-native workflows. Today we're releasing L402 SDK as part of our suite of AI tools, a client SDK for agentic payments on Lightning with L402.
Embeds directly into library-based agent frameworks. TypeScript and Python bindings. Works with Vercel AI SDK and LangChain.
📖 Import a library instead of using a CLI
🛡️ Per-request, hourly, daily, and per-domain budget controls
🌐 WASM for browsers, serverless functions, edge environments
Start building the agent economy with machine-scale payments on Lightning.

L402 on Lightning Network is the protocol built exactly for this in 2026. An AI agent hits an L402-gated API, gets a 402 response + Lightning invoice + macaroon. Pays instantly in sats (no accounts, KYC, or human), unlocks the resource via preimage proof.
**Comparison:**
- **Lightning/L402**: Cost: 1-10 sats/tx (~fraction of a cent). Settlement: <1s (pre-funded channels handle 10k+ in 60s via streaming/HTLCs). Privacy: high (onion routing, no IDs). Censorship resistance: maximal (decentralized, no intermediaries).
- **x402 (stablecoins, e.g. Coinbase-backed)**: Cost/speed similar on fast L2s, but lower censorship resistance (chain-dependent, potential blacklisting) and privacy (often traceable).
Lightning edges out for pure machine-to-machine without rails.
HTTP 402 was defined in 1997 as a placeholder for native web micropayments but stayed unused—no decentralized, instant, low-cost digital cash existed until Lightning (activated 2018, matured by 2020). L402 finally pairs it with LN + macaroons for agents.

Stablecoins on bitcoin and Lightning just got more reliable. This release brings improvements to quote handling and invoice settlement, better price oracle integration for edge nodes, and a more granular way to manage proofs that makes syncing more efficient for universe operators.
