Plain-English meanings
- AI agent
- Software that takes actions for you, such as buying an API call, without a person clicking each step.
- Lightning
- Bitcoin’s fast, cheap payment layer: payments settle in seconds and can cost a fraction of a cent.
- L402
- A way for an API to say “pay first”: it replies with a Lightning invoice, the agent pays a few sats, then gets its answer.
- x402
- The same pay-first idea for APIs, but paid in USDC (a dollar stablecoin) instead of Bitcoin.
- MPP
- Machine Payments Protocol: an open standard that lets agents pay for web services per request, with stablecoins or other payment methods.
- Stablecoin
- A crypto token pegged to a normal currency, usually the US dollar, so its price does not swing like Bitcoin.
