Lightning Labs launches toolkit enabling AI agents to use Bitcoin for payments
PANews, February 15—According to Bitcoin News, Lightning Labs has officially released an open-source toolkit that allows AI agents to autonomously send and receive bitcoin payments via the Bitcoin Lightning Network, without the need for manual approval, accounts, login credentials, or API keys.
This toolkit adopts the L402 protocol, built on the HTTP 402 "Payment Required" standard. Websites can send Lightning Network invoices to AI agents, and after payment, the agent receives a digital payment credential as an access key, thereby unlocking services or data. The toolkit also includes the "lnget" tool, which can automatically handle paid content access requests in the background. In addition, the toolkit supports AI running Lightning nodes, managing permissions, hosting paid services, and completing transactions between agents, while also featuring built-in spending limits and remote signature protection.

Japan’s 30-year government bond yield has risen to 4.155%, approaching a historic high. The 30-year bond auction scheduled for Thursday is drawing significant attention. Analysts generally expect a weak result and warn that if the auction goes poorly, it could put reverse pressure on US Treasuries, prompting a repricing of the global fixed income market and potentially becoming a new trigger for rising global borrowing costs.
