Static Loop In is a good way to eliminate some of those spare UTXOs you have laying around and consolidate your funds into your channels. The flow is pretty easy, just spend the entire UTXO into the address it shows you and then "Loop In". Poof the balance appears in your channel

lnget v1.1.0 has just been released! it now supports both MPP+L402 for agentic payments on the Lightning Network the CLI is now more agent friendly w/ JSON input+output, context management feats + support for an MCP server via `lnget mcp serve` many bug fixes also included!

LND now supports MPP! With the latest lnget release, you can use both L402 and the Machine Payments Protocol (by @tempo @stripe) for agentic payments on Lightning. ⚡  lnget auto-detects what the server supports and pays in the same request. One tool that supports both protocols.  This release also includes an agent-native CLI with JSON i/o, MCP server support, and context management features.  github.com/lightninglabs/…

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

You can still RSVP. Happening today!

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.⚡ github.com/lightninglabs/…

Agents want money. Bitcoin makes it possible. Lightning makes it a reality. Join us this Wed, March 18 at 10am PT/ 1pm ET/5pm UTC for our BTC + AI community call where we'll discuss vibe coding, agentic payments, L402, and demos. RSVP here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

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.

We built L402 years ago because we saw this moment coming. Now the space is catching up to the thesis, but foundational architectural choices matter. L402 delivers the best-in-class agentic commerce experience: 🏎️ Scale and Speed: L402 payment verification is a single local hash check (no external calls, no chain queries) so agents can sustain thousands of API calls per minute without hitting a verification bottleneck. 🤖🤖Multi-Agent by Default: Macaroon-based credentials support hierarchical delegation: a parent agent scopes budgets and permissions for sub-agents without a human re-authorizing every task. 🌐 Truly Decentralized Infra: No intermediary whose outage becomes yours. L402 was purpose-built for agentic commerce at scale.

Agents want to use money. Bitcoin makes it possible. Join us on Wed, March 18 for our next AI + BTC community call at 10am PT/1pm ET/5pm UTC. With Lightning, anyone anywhere can integrate payments into their apps. Vibe coders, devs, agents. Instant, high volume, low fee. L402 makes the internet machine-native with built-in authentication. Join us to learn more. Demo your projects. RSVP here: forms.gle/cfpXTatfXS4kwx…

For 15+ years, Bitcoiners have been writing, podcasting, debating, and teaching on the internet. That content is training data. So now, AI agents choose Bitcoin. To every educator, writer, podcaster, and shitposter who ever explained sound money on the internet, thank you! 🧡

Loop's static Loop In addresses allow you to deposit funds to an unchanging address and then have an option for 1 month to instantly swap chain funds for offchain. And now we have a new feature: you can also just open a channel directly from those coins if you don't want to swap.

“In our view, agents will most likely soon be responsible for most internet transactions, and we will likely need blockchains that support more than one million—or even one billion—transactions per second.” We shouldn't focus on scaling blockchains to a billion TPS. That goal indicates a fundamental misunderstanding of their architecture and purpose. Settle on-chain, transact off-chain. Lightning is the answer. Millions of near instant payments per second, final settlement on Bitcoin. Ready right now.

@levelsio @TermiusHQ if you're willing to compile it to yourself this could be superior as it uses an e2e encrypted mailbox server and lets you use multiple terminals on multiple machines including on your laptop too: github.com/bhandras/delig…

No then you just @TermiusHQ in via your Tailscale

first, to state the obvious: NEVER expose your agents directly to your private keys!!! if you do, your funds are just a prompt injection attempt away from having your wallet drained 😔 instead, agents should always be fire walled from sensitive credentials agent wallet security is a key focus of this release

waay back in 2020, I designed the L402 protocol to solve authentication+payments on the web for machines 🤖 -> lightning.engineering/posts/2020-03-… flash forward to 2026, and now the machines are intelligent, kicking off a new era of personal AI agents with the latest advancements in AI, the L402 protocol is more relevant than ever today we're releasing a suite of CLIs, skills, and MCP servers to enable agents to *securely* transact on the web ⚡️

Human attention is scarce. Tokens are not. Give your AI agent Bitcoin, Lightning, and L402 superpowers with this prompt 🤖🦞⚡️

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. ⚡🦞 lightning.engineering/posts/2026-02-…
