🌊 ⚡️Wavelength de @lightning ya está en mainnet!: el toolkit para integrar pagos en cualquier app, sin correr un nodo, sin gestionar canales y sin buscar liquidez. Un salto enorme para la adopción de Lightning Network 🧵👇
Wavelength is now live on mainnet! 🌊
Humans and agents can now send and receive bitcoin payments with the Wavelength SDK.
A few API calls, self-custodial from the first command, with no node or liquidity to manage.

Librería de Satoshi ahora es ISMOS 🎉
Misma gente, misma comunidad, Bitcoin sigue siendo la raíz. Más materias, más idiomas, más países.
Nacimos en Latinoamérica enseñando Bitcoin en nuestro idioma. Ahora, en el de más comunidades. ¿En cuál te gustaría aprender? Te leo 👇
Síguenos en @ismosxyz y nos vemos en LaBitConf 🇦🇷
Librería de Satoshi is now ISMOS 🎉
Five years teaching Technical Bitcoin in Spanish taught us this: language shouldn’t decide who gets to learn, and building Bitcoin well starts with its foundations.
A new name for a bigger mission.
Cryptography, math, software engineering, AI and critical thinking, in more languages and more countries, all built on the foundations Bitcoin taught us.

Nos vemos este viernes a las 15:30 en @labitconf: “Vibe Codeando una Bitcoin Wallet” 🎤
Integrar Lightning autocustodial en cualquier app ahora es cuestión de un prompt; Wavelength 〰️ ⚡️ de @lightning ya hizo lo difícil. Y lo mejor es que ya está en mainnet desde la semana pasada!!!
Vibe coders y builders, ¿qué se van a inventar? 👇

At @SteaknShake, employees earn 21¢ in bitcoin for every hour worked, alongside their regular pay. @Fold_app's Bitcoin Bonus Program lets workers start accumulating an asset, one shift at a time.
I wrote about why that matters in a recent @WSJ piece: partners.wsj.com/the-nakamot…

A BTC security ‘red team’ would be a concept where white hats would launch realistic hacking attacks. Like make an evil software update and try and call it a security fix and get people to update. Social engineering, breaking the rules. Make people realize it’s a jungle out there

⚡ lnd v0.21.5-beta is out, plus v0.20.6-beta for 0.20 nodes
Both: safer revocation + taproot commit handling, --fee.url estimates capped at 10k sat/vb, SQLite fix.
0.21.5 only: stricter aux HTLC checks, fewer SQL queries.

Lightning Labs' @dario_nakamoto explains how Wavelength VTXOs carry Taproot Assets secured by the Ark policy tree.
Compact proofs and client-side validation link asset history back to an on-chain commitment.

I have a cynical take on this
There's no dearth of payment solutions, Bitcoin hasn't sufficiently monetized yet. No payment tech however magical, can solve an economics problem
Demand problem cannot be solved by supply solutions
.@jack thinks bitcoin payment adoption isn’t where it should be. We want your ideas on how @Blocks, Spiral, and you can increase adoption within 5 years. Our trajectory needs changing. Here’s more on our thinking. Now we want yours: github.com/spiralxyz/bitcoin… View article

You want your dentist to be an expert in dentistry and not an expert in running a Lightning node.
One thing I talked about at my TABConf Wavelength workshop that I keep thinking about: Bitcoin builders, please build for your dentist.
It’s our job to make Lightning payments easy for people who are not experts in Lightning. It’s our job to build in such a way that your dentist can make Lightning payments with absolutely no idea what channels are or what inbound liquidity is.
Not everyone can be, or should be, an expert in Lightning. That’s our job!
Thankfully we now have some pretty amazing tools for Lightning payments that don’t require having read an Andreas Antonopoulos book. If your dentist can scan a QR code then they can use an application powered by Wavelength.

Good time to provide inbound liquidity to Loop if making money is something you're interested in!
For those who saw the LOOP traffic spike on Sunday, I did a bit of analysis (AI wrote, I reviewed)

⚡🤖 Wavelength lleva pagos de agentes de IA a Bitcoin
Lightning Labs abrió el acceso en la red principal: los agentes pueden pagar servicios y recibir bitcoin sin gestionar nodos ni canales.
Sigue en fase alfa: límite de 300.000 sats por cuenta y comisión del 0,25% en pagos Lightning.

AI agents can now pay for things on their own.
Lightning Labs just opened Wavelength to everyone on Bitcoin mainnet. Agents can send and receive bitcoin over Lightning without a human approving every payment.
Card rails were built for a person standing at a checkout. Agents buying API calls and data a few cents at a time need something else.
That's the rail I work on every day at @voltage_cloud. The next wave of customers won't all be human.

Lightning catch-up (biggest first):
1. @lightning Wavelength is live on Bitcoin mainnet. Apps and AI agents send and receive over Lightning with a few API calls. Self-custodial, no node, no channels, no liquidity to manage.
2. @lightning also floated LayerTree: a non-custodial Bitcoin scaling design that plugs into Lightning, shares one UTXO across up to a million users, and lets anyone exit in a single tx.
3. Security week for node runners. @acinq_co shipped Eclair v0.14.5 (second security release in five days). @lightning rebuilt lnd, tapd, btcd, and litd after the eMudhra CA compromise. Updating Go alone does not patch installed binaries. Core Lightning also pushed a funds-at-risk fix in v26.06.9.
4. Real payments. @paywithsoap and @HiglobeOfficial added Lightning via @voltage_cloud. Eligible Cash App users can pay Soap merchants from USD. @WhiteBit added Lightning deposits and withdrawals.
5. Agent economy. @voltage_cloud shipped Agent Pack for coding agents. @TunnelSats sells WireGuard tunnels over HTTP 402. @gpvansat's Sats for Bots and Amazap keep cataloging paid Lightning APIs.
Worth a look: post-quantum Lightning research in Rust-Lightning, @ambosstech stablecoin-to-Bitcoin over Lightning, @BULLBITCOIN_ Lightning restored, @satora_io on-chain/Lightning swaps.

Now on stage at BOSS Summit: @RajSaraogiGK with an introduction to Taproot Assets.
Taproot Assets lets developers issue assets on Bitcoin and transfer them over the Lightning Network.
Raj is walking us through what the protocol is and what developers can build with it.
Another look at how builders are exploring new possibilities on Bitcoin.
Now on stage at BOSS Summit: @codingp110 on What’s New in BDK.
The @bitcoindevkit gives developers the building blocks to create Bitcoin wallets without having to build every component from scratch.
CodingP is walking us through what’s coming in BDK 4.0, along with the wallet design decisions that matter when building these tools.

Jesse Shrader (@Jestopher_BTC) of Amboss (@ambosstech) demos stablecoin payments using Taproot Assets.
He explains why he believes embracing stablecoins can benefit Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, and why he’s excited about Wavelength.

There are so many fun and creative ways to use L402. What would you build?
A few examples of what’s already out there:
🧠 AI responses from @sats_4_ai
sats4ai.com
⚡ API discovery and purchases through @amazap402, built by @Jestopher_BTC
amazap.com
🛠️ Data and tools for agents through our Agent Commerce Store
agent-commerce.store
👕 Custom shirts through our Lightning Enable Store
store.lightningenable.com
Want to build your own?
Put an API, dataset, model or useful service behind an L402 endpoint. Give it a price. Let agents pay for it.
Our free, open-source Lightning Enable MCP handles the buyer side: connect an agent to a Lightning wallet so it can discover and purchase paid services as part of a task.
Build something your agent needs—or something someone else’s agent would pay to use.
Get started with the MCP:
