the moment we've all been waiting for...USDT is coming back to Bitcoin via Taproot Assets!!! 🎉⛓️🌎💸
w/ stablecoins on the Lightning Network, the network evolves into an instant + low fee currency agnostic payments network, all backed by the Bitcoin Backbone of the network
Today we're announcing that Tether is coming to bitcoin and Lightning! 💸⚡
With the security and decentralization of bitcoin and the speed and scalability of Lightning, USDT will bring hundreds of millions of users and trillions in volume.
It all comes back to bitcoin.
AMP: Atomic Multi-Path Payments over Lightning

IN 2023, THE BOTS PAY YOU! ⚡️🤖
today we're releasing a new L402 specification, along side @langchain powered tools that enable AI Agents to traverse L402 APIs (HTTP 402 pay-per call APIs over Lightning), and also directly hold+manage Bitcoin via @OpenAI function calls
Announcing a new set of tools to build Lightning⚡and #bitcoin-powered AI products for a global audience.
Using L402, a standard for API authentication with LN payments, and @langchain, a simplified AI app framework, we are opening up #AI4All! 🤖🌎

⚡️LIGHTNING LABS IS HIRING ⚡️
We’re looking to expand our engineering team across several positions including app dev, dev ops, and systems engineering. If you’re interested in helping us build the next generation of financial infrastructure, check out: lightning.engineering/careers.html
the future is here, but not yet evenly distributed: l402.org
using the Lightning Network, today we can programmatically send values as small as $0.00006 over the Internet instantly, avoiding all the friction that comes w/ high txn costs w/ traditional payments
IMMA LET Y'ALL FINISH, BUT
THE LIGHTNING NETWORK IS *THE* ONLY DECENTRALIZED L2 IN PRODUCTION 🏆
NOT JUST ON BITCOIN, IN EXISTENCE 🌐
YO MULTI-SIG AIN'T AN L2 🚫
YO CENTRALIZED SEQUENCER AIN'T AN L2 🚫
IF IT AIN'T OPEN ACCESS W/ TRUSTLESS UNILATERAL EXIT IT AIN'T AN L2 🙅🏾♂️
