What is L402?
L402 (formerly LSAT) is a protocol that enables APIs to charge per-request using Bitcoin's Lightning Network. When you call an L402-protected endpoint:
- 1 Server returns
HTTP 402 Payment Requiredwith a Lightning invoice - 2 Client pays the invoice (~milliseconds)
- 3 Client retries request with proof of payment
- 4 Server returns the requested data
Our AI Agent Wallet handles this automatically — via MCP pay_l402_api() or CLI lw pay-api <url>.
