Bitcoin Lightning could power AI payments and machine authentication, LQWD chief says

Bitcoin’s Lightning network could support both payments between AI agents and machine authentication as software and robots take on more economic activity. Its potential uses extend from paying for services to helping machines verify one another before accessing data. In a Bitcoin Magazine interview on November 9, Shon Anstey, CEO and chairman of LQWD Technologies, outlined how Lightning’s small, fast payments could serve AI agents. He also described a business model that puts the company’s bitcoin holdings to work routing payments. Anstey described Lightning as a payment layer built on Bitcoin, with computers or servers operating nodes connected through payment channels. Operators must commit bitcoin to those channels to route payments, a structure he said suits frequent micropayments by AI agents.
