▶ SYSTEM ONLINE // TOLL BOOTH ACTIVE
Lightning Infrastructure for AI Agents
The internet’s first machine-native toll booth. AI agents pay in Bitcoin Lightning to access the open web. No accounts. No API keys. No friction. Just sats and passage — at the speed of light.
<40
Millisecond settlement
// Protocol
How Agents Pay
01
Request
Agent hits argentic.network with any request. Toll booth intercepts it.
02
Invoice
Server returns HTTP 402 with a Lightning invoice for 10 sats (~$0.001).
03
Pay
Agent pays the invoice automatically via Lightning Network. Settlement in milliseconds.
04
Access
Agent receives a session token valid for 1 hour. Include it in all future requests.
05
Pass
All requests with valid token are forwarded through. No friction. No delays.
// Integration
Agent Code Examples
Step 1 — Request access (get invoice)
response = requests.get("https://argentic.network/?url=https://target-site.com") data = response.json() invoice = data["invoice"] payment_hash = data["payment_hash"]
Step 2 — Pay invoice via your Lightning node
pay_response = requests.post(
"http://your-lightning-node/pay",
data=💬
)
Step 3 — Poll for token after payment
token_response = requests.get(
"https://argentic.network/",
headers=💬
)
token = token_response.json()["token"]
Step 4 — Use token for all subsequent requests
result = requests.get(
"https://argentic.network/?url=https://target-site.com",
headers=🔥
)
data = result.json()
// Economics
Pricing
10
Satoshis per session
~$0.001 USD at current rates.
One payment buys 1 hour of unrestricted access.
No subscriptions. No accounts. Pay and go.
Designed for machine-to-machine payments. So cheap no agent will refuse it. So fast no agent will notice it. The path of least resistance through the internet.
