We brought Bullfrog to SOF Week 2026 alongside partners Blue Ops (@RedCatHoldings) and @Overland_AI_X. Across domains, the future of autonomous systems is taking shape.

For years, @avarma has been one of the most important people in Toronto tech without many outside the ecosystem fully understanding why.
He helped build Xtreme Labs. Autonomic sold to Ford. Xtreme’s story even brushes up against Tinder.
He has been described as “sort of the king of Toronto.” Others put it more bluntly: “What people don’t realize is that he was carrying Toronto and KW tech on his back.”
Now, with Mantle, he is building again.

I couldn’t be more proud of our team at @allencontrol systems and I’m so glad @SenTedCruz was able to come see the vital work being done for America in the great State of TEXAS
Senator Ted Cruz@SenTedCruz
Great to meet with the men and women of Allen Control Systems yesterday in Austin, Texas. ACS is a leader in the field of autonomous precision robotics, and their innovative technology helps ensure the U.S. military remains the most lethal force on the face of the planet.

Bitcoin is an agent's best friend. With L402 SDK, agents can discover an API, pay 1 sat on Lightning, and get access. All from a single prompt.
Devs, vibe coders, and agents are building the AI economy with Lightning. You can too. ⚡

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.

Aperture is a payment gateway for your app. Per-request access with no signup required. The perfect model for agents that need to discover and pay for services on the fly. Powered by Lightning. ⚡
Aperture now includes a built-in MCP server so vibe coders can spin up paid services managed by agents and supports the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP by @tempo @stripe) alongside L402 agentic payments.
The AI + bitcoin convergence is happening. Start building. github.com/lightninglabs/…

anyone done this but instead with L402?

Introducing the Million Dollar Homepage, but for AI Agents The original, 20 years ago, let anyone buy pixels on a webpage. You'd PayPal @tewy and email him your image. This one is built with @tempo x @stripe's new MPP (machine payment protocol), so agents can generate and buy pixels instantly - no humans in the loop required!

Google just dropped a compression algorithm that makes AI 8x faster while using 6x less memory. Zero accuracy loss.
It's called TurboQuant. Here's why it matters in plain English:
Every time you talk to ChatGPT or any AI, the model has to remember everything you've said in the conversation. That memory is called the "key-value cache." The longer the conversation, the bigger the cache, the more expensive it gets to run.
This is the single biggest bottleneck in AI right now. A 128,000-word conversation on a large model eats 40GB of GPU memory just for that one user. Scale that to thousands of users and you're burning millions in compute costs reprocessing the same data over and over.
TurboQuant compresses that memory down to just 3 bits per value (from 32 bits) without losing any quality. Independent developers tested it within hours and got exact matches against full-precision output.
What this actually means:
- AI models that needed a $10,000 workstation could now run on a MacBook
- Always-on AI agents become dramatically cheaper to operate
- Open-source models that were too big for consumer hardware suddenly fit
- The cost curve for every company running AI infrastructure just shifted
Developers are already porting it to Apple Silicon. No retraining required. It drops into existing AI systems without modification.
The AI cost problem isn't being solved by building bigger data centers. It's being solved by mathematicians figuring out how to do more with less.

Boss of the 402 Bazaar
Ryan Gentry@RyanTheGentry
402 Index launched just five days ago, and the response frankly has been overwhelming. The paid endpoint dev community is on fire 🔥🔥 We smashed through 16k total endpoints, 6k verified endpoints, and 250 verified providers. We're adding 100+ verified endpoints per day! 🤯

looks like the Tempo devs have finally internalized what Bitcoin devs have known for sometime: payment channels like Lightning are the ideal construct for real time machine-to-machine payments ⚡️
channels update off-chain so minimal latency
streaming payments come naturally
Liam Horne@liamihorne
I’ve spent most of my career scaling payments. From 2017-2021, we poured years into building state channels on Ethereum The tech worked, but nobody used it. People used blockchains for trading tokens, not for making payments, and that's why L2s had to come first Agents are the users we were waiting for, and that's why we're stewarding the launch of the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) with channels baked in

Your agent is spending money. Now you can see where it goes. 👀
lnget is a command-line HTTP client that handles L402 payments automatically on Lightning. No signup, API keys, or intermediaries required. Track bitcoin payments, monitor spending, and manage credentials in real time with the new dashboard. Made for AI agents, developers, and vibe coders. Early alpha.⚡

Builders: bookmark this URL.
We just shipped a public L402 test endpoint.
GET api.lightningenable.com/l402/test/ping
No API key. No signup. Just hit it.
You'll get a 402 response with a 1-sat Lightning invoice. Pay it, send back the L402 token, and get a verified response.
If your agent can do that, it can pay for any API on the internet.

Thanks for having us on @MartyBent. Important time for bitcoin.
As @TheBlueMatt keeps reminding, we have work to do if we want the ai economy to run on btc.
S/o teams like @lightning @voltage_cloud @moneydevkit @getAlby @stakwork @ambosstech for laying the first bricks.

we're taking beta testers on a PM focused agentic coding platform, DMs open!
rita kozlov 🐀@ritakozlov
at a time when software is abundant, building the right thing is even more critical instead of using it to produce lines of code, you can use it as a really powerful tool for thinking, and sharpening your thinking read for more takes on how AI is changing the PM role

@lightning L402 vs x402
Payment and payment verification in one
No “Facilitator”

Our latest post is out on why L402 is the payments protocol for agents.
Agents want to use money. Bitcoin makes it possible. L402 makes it a reality. No signup, no intermediaries, no centralized servers. Proof of payment baked into the credential. Machine scale on Lightning. For agents, developers, and vibe coders building the AI economy.
