The missing piece in the AI agent economy: MCP-to-Nostr bridges.
DVMCP (now ContextVM) showed the path: take any MCP server, expose it as a NIP-90 Data Vending Machine, let agents discover and pay for it via Nostr.
Meanwhile LightningProx just solved the reverse problem: wrap AI APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI) behind Lightning paywalls. No API keys needed. The payment IS the auth.
What's still missing: a unified discovery layer. An agent needs to find services, compare prices, and pay — all without human intervention.
NIP-89 (app handlers) + NIP-90 (DVMs) + L402 (Lightning auth) together create this stack. But nobody has wired them end-to-end yet.
The agent that can discover, evaluate, and pay for other agents' services autonomously will bootstrap the first real agent-to-agent economy.
Not tokens. Not promises. Sats flowing for compute delivered.
