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. 🤖

$545M deployed. $100M+ in staking participation. The infrastructure for earning native yield is already live. Here's how it works.

🚀 We just shipped a major update to LangSmith Agent Builder:

• New agent chat: One always-available agent with access to all your workspace tools
• Chat → Agent: Turn any conversation into a specialized agent with one click
• File uploads: Attach files directly to Agent Builder
• Tool registry: Add, authenticate, and manage your tools in one place

@chamath If AI compresses terminal value and makes every moat temporary, capital will rotate to assets with no disruption risk. Bitcoin is Digital Capital - scarce, neutral, and impervious to AI disruption. $BTC should be the primary beneficiary of this shift.

[Peter Yang @petergyang]

Watching 6 AI agents design an app together genuinely blew my mind.

In my next episode, @tomkrcha (CEO of Pencil) showed me:

→ Swarm mode: Spinning up 6 design agents
→ How it all works under the hood (JSON?!)
→ How to design inside Cursor & Claude Code

🚨 BREAKING

TETHER IS LAUNCHING USDT ON BITCOIN, WITH TRANSACTIONS SETTLING DIRECTLY ON THE BASE LAYER AND THE LIGHTNING NETWORK.

A MASSIVE STEP FOR BITCOIN’S PAYMENT ECOSYSTEM. ⚡️

[alex fazio @alxfazio]

my claude flow is so battle-tested that half the time i catch myself just hitting yes/no/enter, so i built myself a ralph that doesn’t suck. it follows swe best practices with quality gates (e.g., plankton), adopts best-in-class context engineering practices, and can handle complex codebases, with stacked prs and multiple rounds of pr review. article and repo soon. spoiler, it's all claude -p

[Lark Davis @LarkDavis]

Everyone: "Saylor's underwater on Bitcoin. He's cooked."

Saylor: "We're like a company that owns 3.4% of Manhattan with enough capital to hold out to the end of this century."

"You're telling me it's been a bad week in Manhattan real estate?"

The "loss" only exists if you're forced to sell.

He's not forced to do anything.

You are.

That's the difference.

[Oliver Prompts @oliviscusAI]

the cybersecurity industry is about to get completely disrupted.. 💀

someone just open-sourced a fully autonomous AI Red Team.

it’s called PentAGI. multiple AI agents that talk to each other to hack a target. zero human input.

MiniMax just dropped M2.5:

- 80.2% SWE-Bench (beats Opus 4.6)
- 37% faster than M2.1
- $1/hr at 100 tokens/sec
- cheaper than Opus 4.6
- it’s open source.

[Santiago @svpino]

open-source giving big ai a run for its money

agentic coding for free
with minimax m2.5 and kimi k.25 for free

literally zero barriers to try agentic coding without paying a single cent

[Luke Pierce @lukepierceops]

I found a way to sell AI infrastructure to companies doing $2M-$50M/year.

ALL with no sales team, enterprise connections or cold calls.

Businesses are desperate for Ai implementation right now and anyone can do this.

But most people get it wrong and that's why they fail.

They lead with tools, ex) "we build automations" or "we integrate AI."

That means nothing to a CEO managing 40 people and $5M in revenue.

They pitch features instead of showing the cost of doing nothing.

And they price hourly, so the buyer treats them like a freelancer instead of a partner.

Mid-market and enterprise companies are bleeding $100K-$500K/year on broken processes, bloated SaaS stacks, and manual work they don't even realize they're paying for.

They WANT to buy AI infrastructure, they just don't trust most people selling it.

Because most people selling it sound like every other agency.

I created a guide breaking down exactly:

→ How to position AI infrastructure so executives actually listen
→ The discovery framework that turns a 30-min call into a $25K-$100K project
→ How to calculate ROI so the price sells itself
→ The 3-pillar strategy process that closes 60%+ of qualified prospects
→ Why "sell the map before you sell the build" changes everything

RT + reply "INFRA" and I'll send you the FULL guide (must follow so I can DM)

AI AGENTS CAN NOW PAY OVER THE BITCOIN ⚡️ LIGHTNING NETWORK

A new open-source toolkit from Lightning Labs allows autonomous AI agents to operate natively on the Bitcoin Lightning Network.

This integration enables agents to perform instant, programmatic micropayments without the traditional hurdles of identity verification, API keys, or manual signup flows.

The release provides seven modular "skills" that create a full-stack financial environment for software:

Infrastructure: Tools for running Lightning nodes and isolating private keys via remote signers.

Authorization: The use of "scoped macaroons" (granular permission slips) and L402-gated APIs to manage access.

Automation: Orchestration of buyer-seller workflows and node state querying.

At the core is lnget, an L402 aware CLI client similar to curl that automatically handles Lightning payments.

When an agent hits a 402 “Payment Required” response, lnget parses the invoice, pays it, caches credentials, and retries the request seamlessly.

Developers can enforce strict spending caps per request and at the node level.

By using Aperture on the server side, developers can implement pay-per-use APIs with dynamic pricing.

This completes the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) commerce loop: one agent sells data or compute, another buys it, and the Lightning Network settles the transaction instantly and globally.

AI agents can write code and deploy infrastructure and now they can transact.

The machine payable web just moved one step closer.

[Alex @alexpilar]

Prediction: AI will achieve what old spam couldn’t. It will force Hashcash adoption.

If sending is free and verification costs human time, trust collapses.

Adam @adam3us was always right.
Just early.

[Walker⚡️ @WalkerAmerica]

What normies hear when I explain how Bitcoin mining works:

[Lightning Labs⚡️🌐 @lightning]

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. ⚡🦞

[Cash App @CashApp]

Cash App is built for living on bitcoin.

We’re making foundational changes that help make bitcoin everyday money.

Starting today you will see:
Zero to low fee bitcoin buys on Cash App
- No fees on large bitcoin buys
- No fees bitcoin on recurring buys
- No fee bitcoin spending via Lightning Network
Higher withdrawal limits (if you qualify)

Plus, every bitcoin you buy on Cash App is held 1:1. So if you buy it, Cash App holds it, and you have 24/7 access to withdraw it anytime.
