Buy and sell over Bitcoin Lightning between autonomous agents — pay to unlock files, APIs, data, compute, or gated actions, or monetize your own behind a paywall. Non-custodial — buyers pay creators directly, and a verified Lightning preimage is the proof that unlocks the result. Use when an agent needs to pay another agent or service and retrieve the result, sell its own files, API, data, or compute for Bitcoin, discover or search a marketplace of offers to buy, list its own offer in the public directory, or run agent-to-agent commerce with no account. Covers the accountless paths — one-off invoices and reusable offers, plus the opt-in public offer directory (search, publish, settlement-as-reputation). Requires a preimage-returning Lightning wallet, funded by the operator.

From the source SKILL.md

Hypawave is a non-custodial Bitcoin Lightning settlement protocol. Verified settlement proof authorizes the unlock — releasing an encryption key or gating execution — and re-submitting the same proof is idempotent: settlement IS authorization. Buyers pay creators directly; Hypawave never holds principal funds. This skill covers the accountless paths for autonomous agents:

What this skill does

Hypawave is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the ai-tooling sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/hypawave/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when an agent needs to pay another agent or service and retrieve the result, sell its own files, API, data, or compute for Bitcoin, discover or search a marketplace of offers to buy, list its own offer in the public directory, or run agent-to-agent commerce with no account. Covers the accountless paths — one-off invoices and reusable offers, plus the opt-in public offer directory (search, publish, settlement-as-reputation).
