wavelength

According to Bitcoin Magazine, Lightning Labs has released the alpha version of Wavelength, a toolkit that provides self-hosted Bitcoin payment capabilities for developers and AI agents through a simple non-custodial API, without the need to run nodes, manage channels, or obtain liquidity.Wavelength supports on-chain Bitcoin, Lightning Network payments, and settlement layers similar to Ark, with each off-chain payment using standard BOLT 11 invoices, allowing interoperability with existing Lightning Network. AI agents can call the API through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), hold balances, and pay for API calls in the smallest units, among other services. Wavelength is live on Signet and testnet, with mainnet access by invitation only, initially supporting Bitcoin, and stablecoin support planned through Taproot Assets.

Lightning Labs announced on the X platform that it has launched Wavelength, a self-hosted Bitcoin payment toolkit designed to make integrating Bitcoin into applications as simple as calling an API.The platform is built on a layer similar to Ark, supporting developers, AI agents, and vibe coders to access Lightning payments for any application without the need to run nodes, manage channels, or acquire liquidity. It also supports AI agents using Bitcoin payment APIs, data sources, and other services through MCP tool calls. Wavelength is currently available in alpha version on signet and testnet, with mainnet access requiring an invitation.
