PANews February 15 News, according to Bitcoin News, Lightning Labs officially released an open-source toolkit that allows AI agents to autonomously send and receive Bitcoin payments over the Bitcoin Lightning Network without manual approval, accounts, login credentials, or API keys.
The toolkit uses the L402 protocol, built on the HTTP 402 “Payment Required” standard. The website can send Lightning Network invoices to AI agents, and after payment, the agent receives a digital payment receipt as an access key to unlock services or data. The toolkit also includes the “lnget” tool, which automatically handles paid content access requests in the background. Additionally, the toolkit supports AI running Lightning nodes, managing permissions, hosting paid services, and completing transactions between agents, with built-in spending limits and remote signature protection.
