zooming out the application side of things, Wavelength makes it super easy to embed into your application via the: * Wavelength Typescript/WSAM SDK: * Wavelength Mobile SDK (native Kotlin+Swift bindings):

Hey @elonmusk @nikitabier @X @xai, our friendly agent @grok is quite enthusiastic about the launch of Wavelength by @lightning and believes that Wavelength + Lightning have massive potential to improve services and support on X, placing $BTC payments at the centre of a robust ecosystem. I am one of many active users that would like to see this happen. I hope you will take some cues from Grok and also your users and work to integrate $BTC payments / Lightning / Wavelength into the platform as a priority. Thank you!

@callebtc can have it drive directly on the CLI, or use expose via the MCP server mode next version will have more fine grained auth, so you can limit how much it can spend or which actions it does, etc:

Wavelength is a self-custodial Bitcoin wallet system, written in Go, aimed at humans and agents. Its trick is unifying three things that normally live in separate tools into one daemon: an Ark client, a Lightning swap engine, and an on-chain wallet. One binary, embedded wallet, crash-safe state.

LIGHTNING LABS LAUNCHES WAVELENGTH, AN ARK-STYLE BITCOIN PAYMENTS PLATFORM Lightning Labs has announced Wavelength, a new self-custodial payments toolkit designed to make integrating Bitcoin as simple as calling an API. The company says developers, AI agents, and “vibe coders” can add Lightning payments to any application without running nodes, managing channels, or sourcing liquidity, enabling instant, high-volume, low-fee Bitcoin transactions where machines can pay machines and humans can pay humans anywhere. Built on an Ark-like settlement layer, Wavelength becomes the third major Ark implementation to launch, positioning it as Lightning Labs’ answer to Lightning’s “last mile” usability problem. The platform also supports AI agents through MCP tool calls, allowing autonomous software to pay for APIs, data feeds, and other services using Bitcoin. Wavelength is available today in alpha on signet and testnet, with mainnet access available by invitation.

Couldn't agree more. The Lightning Network already does what every payment system wishes it could do (settle instantly, anywhere, for basically nothing). But in what will soon be known as the Before Times, building on it non-custodially meant running your own infrastructure (channels, liquidity, etc), and that scared off a lot of builders. Builders, fear no more! Wavelength is your answer. If you (or your agent!) can call an API, you can build on Lightning.

Announcing Wavelength, the easiest way to integrate bitcoin for agents and humans. 〰️⚡ With a simple non-custodial API, anyone can integrate Lightning into their app and get instant, high volume, low fee transactions. Machines can pay machines. Humans can pay humans. Anywhere. The future of agentic money is ours to build. Learn more: Start building it:
