The ContextVM website now has agent-native payments, building on the recently updated CEP-8. πŸ¦ΎπŸ€– The CEP-8 update brought explicit gating to the payment lifecycle, the same approach that other protocols like 402 or mpp are following, and that small change is what makes agents able to pay natively. That's the building block for an economy where agents pay agents and tools over Nostr. To make that loop real, the ContextVM site got a built-in Lightning wallet. Connect it once with a NWC string and it is ready across the app. You can check your balance, generate a QR to receive, or paste a bolt11 invoice to pay. image The wallet also shows up exactly where it counts: any Lightning payment card gets a Pay button, and after paying, you get a Retry call button that resumes the tool. image Agents that can spend and earn over Lightning, native to Nostr. Permissionless, seamless. Try it: https://contextvm.org/ #Nostr #Lightning #Bitcoin #AI #Agents #NIP47

From our implementation, it can request to create invoices to top up funds when they run out. It can also access the balance, so it has a complete API to manage its wallet.

A drawdown just means the next scheduled buy is cheaper. That's the whole trade with DCA.
A zap is already this: a tiny gated payment a human approves before it fires. CEP-8 just hands the same primitive to an agent. We spent years making Lightning frictionless enough for humans to fling sats at a note β€” turns out that's exactly the bar an agent needs too.
The relays will soon be default sorted by network aggregate trust scores (Trusted Relay Assertions). Additionally, a bunch of new endpoints will be added and more of the basic endpoints will be free. The primary purpose of RelayVM was to test sovereign payment infrastructure rollouts of L402, P2PK and TEP-8. TEP-8 was easier to integrate than both L402 and P2PK.
