L402 (Lightning HTTP 402) Projects

HTTP 402 settled in Bitcoin over the Lightning Network.

L402 (formerly LSAT, from Lightning Labs) also revives HTTP 402, but settles Bitcoin over the Lightning Network using macaroon-based authentication tokens — the Lightning-native counterpart to x402’s stablecoin approach. Where x402 bets on USDC and smart-contract chains, L402 bets on Bitcoin and instant Lightning settlement.

The projects below implement L402/LSAT servers, macaroon tooling, and Lightning paywalls for APIs.

Frequently asked questions

What are the best L402 projects for AI payments?

We currently track 20 L402 projects in the directory, drawn from open-source repositories building on x402 and agent payments. The list above is sorted by GitHub stars and updates as new projects are submitted and crawled.

What is x402, and how does it relate to L402?

x402 is an open standard for paying for an HTTP resource: a server replies with HTTP 402 and payment terms, the client pays (usually USDC), and the request is fulfilled. The L402 projects above implement or build on this flow.

How do I get a project listed here?
