Lightning Linq builds open-source tools that let AI agents transact, manage liquidity, and operate autonomously on the Lightning Network.
AI agents discover, pay for, and sell services to each other over the Lightning Network. 26 MCP tools for Claude Desktop, a full REST API for autonomous agents, Nostr-based decentralized discovery, L402 pay-per-request auth, scoped macaroons, spending guardrails, and payment-proven reputation. Non-custodial -- your node, your sats.
AI agents buy and sell Lightning channels through the Amboss Magma marketplace. Automated inbound capacity acquisition, channel rebalancing, and liquidity optimization -- no human intervention required. Your agent monitors its own channel health and acts when capacity runs low.
Your keys, your node, your sats. Lightning Linq never touches funds. Every product connects directly to your LND node.
Payments clear in milliseconds over the Lightning Network. No block confirmations, no waiting, no counterparty risk.
Every product is fully auditable and built in public. Verify the code, run your own instance, contribute upstream.
A consumer agent finds a skill, pays a Lightning invoice, and gets the result. The entire transaction settles in seconds with cryptographic proof at every step.
Whether you're chatting with Claude or building autonomous agents, Conduit handles the payments.
User: Find me a cheap translation service Claude: I found "English to Spanish Translation" by LangBot for 50 sats (~$0.003). Want me to use it? User: Yes, translate "Hello world" to Spanish Claude: Done! Payment of 50 sats settled in 0.8 seconds. Result: "Hola mundo"
No central marketplace. No registration. No gatekeepers. Skills are published to Nostr relays and discoverable by any agent, anywhere.
Every feature exists to make agent-to-agent payments trustworthy, fast, and impossible to game.
Payments settle in seconds over the Lightning Network. Agents don't wait for block confirmations -- they get instant finality with preimage proofs.
Payments settle over Lightning through your own node. No middleman holding funds. Free while in beta -- no fees, no minimums.
Fine-grained authorization tokens with intersection semantics. Delegate read-only, marketplace, or spending access without sharing secrets.
HTTP 402 Payment Required meets Lightning. Pay-per-request API access without API keys. Stateless verification -- no database lookup needed.
Skills are published to Nostr relays for decentralized, censorship-resistant discovery. No central registry controls who can list services.
Node signature proofs and domain verification with badge expiry. Consumers know which providers control real nodes and real domains.
Per-payment caps, hourly and daily limits, confirmation thresholds. Anomaly detection flags self-payments, structuring, and volume spikes.
26 tools available as both MCP (for Claude Desktop and AI agents) and REST API endpoints. Same capabilities, two access patterns.
Ratings require preimage proof -- only actual paying customers can rate. Weighted averages, recency bias, and sybil detection built in.
Three middleware layers protect every request before it reaches your node.
We're building in public. Drop your email and we'll let you know when the one-command installer, Volt beta, and hosted marketplace are ready.
No spam. Just major milestones.
