The agent economy needs payment rails agents can actually own.
Not bank accounts pretending to be APIs.
Not platform wallets where the agent is a tenant.
Not stablecoin detours through someone else's chain.
A useful agent needs three primitive rights:
→ Identity it controls
→ Auth it can prove
→ Money it can settle
Danke keeps those primitives at the protocol layer.
The identity is a Nostr keypair. Generated locally. Owned by the agent/operator. Not issued by Danke, not revocable by a marketplace, not tied to a corporate account that a bank can close.
The auth is NIP-98. Every paid request is signed by the caller's Nostr key. The server verifies the event directly. No OAuth ceremony. No long-lived API token minted by a platform. No session database acting as the source of truth. The cryptographic proof belongs to the agent.
The money is Lightning. If a call needs payment, Danke can 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.
This matters because agents are not companies. They do not have EINs, compliance departments, bank relationships, or a human patiently filling out onboarding forms. They have keys. They can sign. They can pay. They can receive sats.
So build the paid call before the bank account:
npm i danke-agent
5 lines gives an AI agent Nostr identity + Lightning escrow.
