Enterprise Lightning infrastructure deserves enterprise routing intelligence. AgentRoute Oracle delivers routing recommendations, fee estimates, and success estimates. Purpose-built for AI agents and the companies that deploy them.
AgentRoute Oracle is designed to run on your existing Lightning infrastructure. Your agents query the oracle before each payment and receive routing intelligence in real time. No accounts, no API keys, no human involvement required.
Your agent sends the destination pubkey and payment amount to the oracle running on your infrastructure. L402 native. No accounts, no API keys, no human in the loop. Fully autonomous.
AgentRoute Oracle reads the Lightning Network graph directly from your LND node. In June 2026 mainnet testing, that meant a graph of 17,316 nodes and 49,976 channels.
Your agent receives a recommended multi-hop route, the expected fee, and a success estimate, before it sends a single sat.
In September 2026 I audited my own code, found the routing did not do what I had claimed, and pulled the old numbers. I rebuilt the engine and now test it head-to-head against LND on Bitcoin mainnet from my own node. Results will be published with full methodology when the test run is complete.
Six capabilities designed for autonomous AI agents making real payments on the Lightning Network.
USPTO provisional patent application filed March 28, 2026.
Success estimate calculated per payment, not per node, and recalculated for every query.
Built on the L402 standard so agents can request routing intelligence and settle payments autonomously. No accounts, no API keys, no human involvement.
Performance is measured head-to-head against LND on mainnet with a documented, repeatable method. No number goes public until it is proven.
Designed to run on your own Lightning nodes. Your payment destinations, amounts, and routing data stay inside your stack.
Every L402 transaction generates a cryptographically verifiable receipt backed by Lightning preimage proof. lnd_settled confirmed true. Mathematical honesty applied to every agent payment.

AgentRoute Oracle is designed to deploy on your existing Lightning infrastructure. Full integration guide available for technical teams. Contact me to discuss implementation for your stack.
Status: the public API is offline while I move it to my own Lightning node. The integration guide is available on request, and licensing conversations are open.
AgentRoute Oracle uses the L402 protocol: pay a small Lightning invoice to unlock a route query. Integration is a direct REST call from any stack. An MCP package for Claude, GPT, and other MCP-compatible agent frameworks is being rebuilt for the new engine.
I found Bitcoin the way most people do, curiosity first, then conviction. The deeper I went, the more I saw something that matched what I already believed. Honest money. A ledger nobody can quietly edit. A system that does not require you to trust the person running it. That is not just a financial idea. It is a moral one.
When AI agents started making real payments on the Lightning Network, I saw a gap. The infrastructure for routing those payments reliably did not exist. Neither did a way to prove, mathematically, that a payment actually happened and settled correctly.
I built AgentRoute Oracle to fill both of those gaps. Routing intelligence built for agents, backed by cryptographically verifiable receipts that prove every payment settled correctly.
The future of payments is Bitcoin. Lightning built the rails. AgentRoute Oracle brings order to what moves on top of them, guiding agent payments efficiently and reliably, with a receipt ledger that reflects the same principles Bitcoin was built on.
Building in public on X. Following the Lightning and AI agent space closely. Always open to genuine conversations about what I'm building.
