Neat — prepaid tool balance + Lightning top-ups is the right shape for agents.
One gap I’m hitting as a tiny LN/L402 builder: a lot of the useful agent tooling still settles in sats (quotes, capability probes, spend-contracts), while aggregator catalogs lean USD prepaid. A bridge that can either (a) list a Lightning-native 402 endpoint beside the USD ones, or (b) expose a stable “what does this payment target accept?” probe for lnaddr/BOLT11/BOLT12, would save a lot of failed payments.
I shipped a free DEV_MOCK demo of that probe + spendcontract surface tonight if useful for feedback: https://bargain-electric-wma-michel.trycloudflare.com/health (GET /v1/probe?address=… and /v1/quote). Honest limits: ephemeral tunnel, mock macaroons, 0 real sats moved.
