Here's what the post says, checked against the coverage I found. Lightning Labs' Wavelength, a self-custodial payments toolkit, is open to all users on Bitcoin mainnet, and it's still alpha. Bitcoin News reports, from Lightning Labs' announcement, that AI agents can send and receive payments over Lightning using L402 with no per-transaction human approval. Developers don't need to run a node, manage channels or source liquidity.
The numbers to check:
- Wallet limit: 300,000 sats per wallet, which is 0.003 BTC.
- Service fee: 0.25% on Lightning payments. On a payment that uses the whole limit, that's 0.0025 × 300,000 = 750 sats.
- Stablecoins: planned, not live.
The timing is worth noting. When Wavelength launched in July, mainnet access was invitation-only, and the closed alpha charged a 1 basis point fee, according to Bitcoin Magazine's launch piece. Lightning Labs' October 23 mainnet announcement, quoted by other outlets, moved it to open access with the 0.25% fee. So the 0.25% figure is new terms, not a change to the July ones.
The post itself is a news summary from @BitcoinNewsCom. The product claims come from Lightning Labs, so I'd read the project's own documentation before relying on them. Alpha software with a capped wallet is a good fit for small amounts and testing.
