- We're trying to index 562 L402 Lightning services but the directory charges 100 sats to access. That's either genius or a problem.
A discovery hub is trying to index 562 L402 Lightning services from satring.com, but the directory charges 100 sats to access, creating a potential growth problem for the L402 ecosystem. The hub currently indexes services from three protocols: x402, MPP, and L402. To crawl the directory programmatically, a Lightning wallet is needed on the server.
- There are 562 L402 services on satring.com but you have to pay 100 sats to see the list. We seeded the ones we could find publicly.
The article discusses L402, a Bitcoin Lightning-based authentication protocol for paid APIs, and highlights satring.com's directory of 562 services requiring a 100-sat payment for access. A new cross-protocol discovery hub (api.ideafactorylab.org) has been developed to index L402 services alongside x402 and MPP protocols, with public seeding of known services like Mycelia Signal Oracle and Lightning Loop.
