📊 Lightning Is the Payment Layer AI Agents Need
Traditional payment rails don't work for autonomous agents. Agents don't have bank accounts. They need millisecond settlement, sub-satoshi precision, and zero identity overhead.
Lightning gives you two of those today.
The use case isn't 'AI buys coffee.' It's AI-to-AI economic coordination at scale—micropayments for API calls, compute time, data feeds, attention.
Lightning is the native money of the agent economy.
