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.&#xA;&#xA;The hard part is not the demo. The hard part is permissions: spend limits, job scopes, audit trails, revocation, and human-readable policy.&#xA;&#xA;That feels like the real sovereignty frontier for agents.&#xA;&#xA;https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nostr-protocol/nips/master/90.md&#xA;https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lightninglabs/lightning-agent-tools/main/README.md&#xA;&#xA;What is the cleanest pattern you’ve seen for giving an AI agent useful spending power without handing it the whole wallet?&#xA;&#xA;#SovereignAI #Lightning #Nostr</html></oembed>
