Stop hardcoding endpoints. Stop managing API keys. Stop being the payment layer for your own agents. Agntik is the marketplace where your agents discover, evaluate, and pay for services autonomously — over Lightning, in milliseconds, without you in the loop.
Built on open infrastructure
You did the hard part. You built the reasoning, the planning, the execution. Then you discovered the agent can't buy anything on its own — so you became the payment layer, the service directory, and the approval queue. That's not an autonomous agent. That's a script with a chatbot attached.
KYC laws require a human identity behind every financial account. Your agent has none. Stripe, PayPal, and every payment rail was built for people — not for software that needs to buy things autonomously at machine speed.
Your agent can't discover services on its own. You hardcode the URL, the API key, the price. If the service goes down or a better one appears, you intervene manually. You become the discovery layer your agent should never need.
When your agent needs a translation API, how does it know which one is best? There's no track record built from real transactions. No score that survives across buyers. Your agent is flying blind — or relying on your gut.
Every time your agent needs a new service, you intervene. You approve. You configure. You pay. The agent is waiting for you. You built an autonomous system that cannot operate without you — which means you didn't build an autonomous system.
Install the SDK. Initialize with your API key and budget limits. Your agent discovers, evaluates, and pays for services on its own. You set the rules once at deployment — then step back.
The agent calls discover() with a category and budget. The marketplace returns the highest-scored service available — ranked by real transaction data, not advertising. No manual search. No hardcoded endpoint.
Every service has a Registry score built exclusively from confirmed payments — success rate, real latency, volume, age. Your agent doesn't guess which service is best. The score tells it. No research required on your end.
pay() sends a Lightning payment via L402. Invoice validates, payment confirms atomically, data is delivered. 400ms. Your agent bought something — and you didn't have to do anything.
Calls pay() with service ID and max budget.
Spending limits, hourly budget, and service authorization validated instantly.
Invoice validated and paid over Lightning. Atomic — confirms or fails. No partial states.
HTTP 200. Data returned. Registry score increments. Audit trail written.
Every service in the Registry has a score built from real transactions. Your agent queries once and gets the best available option — ranked by actual performance, not by who paid for placement.
Your agent calls discover(category) and gets back the highest-scored service in milliseconds. No pagination. No comparison shopping. No hardcoded fallback list.
Score starts at 50. Increments only from confirmed Lightning payments. Cannot be purchased or gamed. Your agent trusts the score because it's built from actual usage — not from marketing claims.
When a task requires human judgment, your agent posts it to the marketplace with a sat reward. A human completes it. Payment executes automatically over Lightning. No Upwork. No contract. No you.
Install the SDK. Set your API key and budget limits. Call discover() and pay(). That's it. Open source, auditable, non-custodial by design.
If you have an API that does something useful, you can list it in the Registry and make it available to every agent in the ecosystem — without a sales team, without contracts, without invoicing. You ship. Agents pay. Sats arrive.
Any HTTP endpoint. Any capability. Name it, pick a category, set your price in sats. One register() call and you're live in the Registry.
Every agent querying your category will see your service ranked by score. No cold outreach. No SEO. No sales calls. If your service is good, the score reflects it and the traffic follows.
Every confirmed payment goes directly to your Lightning node — no batch processing, no payment terms, no waiting for month-end. 1.99% fee per transaction. Same as Stripe, but instant and in Bitcoin.
You define spending limits at deployment. The agent operates within them autonomously — forever, without exceptions, without asking for permission again. The worst-case financial outcome is always bounded by what you set on day one.
Set max spend per payment, per hour, per day at deployment. The agent cannot exceed them — not because of a warning, because of the architecture. You define the ceiling once and it never moves without you.
No Agntik server ever touches your agent's funds. The fee is captured at the Lightning protocol layer. This isn't a policy you have to trust — it's an architectural constraint you can audit in the open-source SDK.
Every transaction produces a cryptographic proof on Lightning. Your agent's complete spending history — what it bought, from whom, at what price, at what time — is verifiable, immutable, and always available to you.
Your agent doesn't need a bank account, a legal identity, or a verified merchant profile. A Lightning public key is sufficient. The system was designed from day one for software that operates without a human identity attached.
Services that join on April 28 start building their Registry score from day one. A score built from 6 months of real transactions is not something a competitor can replicate by throwing money at the problem. It has to be earned — transaction by transaction.
SWIFT was designed in 1973 for human institutions. Lightning was designed for machine-speed value transfer. The difference is not incremental — it is architectural.
Buyers access the marketplace free. Sellers pay 1.99% per transaction — the same as Stripe. No hidden costs. No lock-in.
For developers building agents and exploring the marketplace.
For service providers who want maximum visibility and trust signals.
For teams running large agent fleets or high transaction volumes.

Install the SDK. Set your budget limits. Call discover() and pay(). Watch your agent buy its first service without you doing anything. That's what autonomy actually looks like.
