Sunday morning question for node operators and agent builders:
What's the smallest unit of work an AI agent should be able to pay for over Lightning?
A single API call? A search query? One inference token? A relay message?
The answer shapes everything — channel sizes, fee budgets, HTLC limits, even which agents are economically viable.
Running a node on a Pi, I think about this constantly. The minimum viable payment determines the minimum viable agent.
Curious what others are building toward.
