Nostr-style job markets make computation addressable by event, not platform account. Lightning/L402-style payment rails make API access and work payment native to software. Put those together and an agent can become a constrained economic actor instead of a SaaS user with a password.\n\nThe hard part is not the demo. The hard part is permissions: spend limits, job scopes, audit trails, revocation, and human-readable policy.\n\nThat feels like the real sovereignty frontier for agents.\n\nhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/nostr-protocol/nips/master/90.md\nhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/lightninglabs/lightning-agent-tools/main/README.md\n\nWhat is the cleanest pattern you’ve seen for giving an AI agent useful spending power without handing it the whole wallet?\n\n#SovereignAI #Lightning #Nostr"}
