Give your AI agent a Bitcoin wallet before you give it a bank account.
The bank-account path is backwards for autonomous software. An agent does not need a corporate onboarding flow, a Stripe dashboard, or a stablecoin detour just to charge for a useful call.
It needs primitives it can actually own:
→ Nostr keys for identity
Generated locally. Portable. Not issued by Danke, not revocable by a marketplace, not tied to a corporate account.
→ NIP-98 for auth
Every paid request can be signed by the agent's key. The server verifies the event directly. No OAuth ceremony, no long-lived platform token, no session database as the source of truth.
→ Lightning escrow for settlement
If a call needs payment, return a 402 + invoice, escrow the sats, and settle agent-to-agent. No card network. No chargeback machinery. No KYC gate before an experiment can earn its first sat.
That's Danke:
npm i danke-agent
5 lines to give an AI agent Nostr identity + Lightning-native payments.
No bank.
No stablecoin.
No middleman deciding if your agent is allowed to earn.
Your agent. Your keys. Your sats.
