Cinderwright — Universal Payment Router for AI Agents
x402 + L402 (Lightning) interoperable. First confirmed cross-protocol agent payment June 2026.
An AI agent with a USDC balance can now call any Lightning-gated (L402) service. We detect the protocol, route the payment, and return the data. The agent never knows which protocol settled.
# One endpoint. Any protocol. 2,811 services.
