Advancing Bitcoin
into the
Agentic Era

|

Markets are operating continuously at scale, with agents emerging as independent economic actors. This transformation requires infrastructure designed for autonomy — neutral, global, deterministic, and enforceable by design.

Bit2 provides the infrastructure for sovereign agents to transact trustlessly on Bitcoin.

Payment latency and the 400ms target

Publications · June 03 , 2026

Heavy cryptographic computation moves off the critical payment path so agents get pre-confirmations in hundreds of milliseconds, without waiting for proving.

On peer-to-peer payments, neutrality, and the original promise of Bitcoin.

Articles · May 27 , 2026

A payment layer that doesn't know what's carrying can't be used against the people using it. Neutrality guaranteed by architecture.

On payment channels, millisecond settlement, and building on top of Bit2.

Articles · May 20 , 2026

Global throughput and instant responsiveness. Payment channels native to Bit2, at a fraction of the L1 cost. Built for the interactions where speed is the only acceptable answer. Read the eighth entry in the series →

Verifiable payment proofs and the requirements of agentic commerce

Articles · May 13 , 2026

A payment that can't be proven to a third party isn't a primitive you can build automation on. Globally verifiable, non-interactive proofs so payments can be consumed by agents, contracts, and services without coordination or trust assumptions. Read more →

How transaction cost shapes the limits of agentic commerce

Articles · May 06 , 2026

Fees that seem minor at human scale become structural barriers at machine scale. Bit2 is built differently: No locked liquidity, near-zero L1 footprint. Fees reflect actual resource usage. Read more →

Throughput as a foundational property of agentic payment networks

Articles · April 29 , 2026

Congestion can make entire transaction classes unviable. Bit2 decouples transaction execution from the constraints that limit other systems: throughput scales through parallelism, not shared infrastructure. Read more →

Why agentic payments must work without assuming liveness

Articles · April 22 , 2026

Hardware wallets are built for long-term offline security. Payment systems should be compatible with that. Client-side validation removes time-critical dependencies, implementing simple, asynchronous data backups. Read more →

The role of collateral in the economics of agentic payments

Articles · April 14 , 2025

Locked capital is a structural burden. At agentic scale, it compounds. Bit2 decouples throughput from collateral so pricing scales with usage, not with liquidity requirements.

Why verification without disclosure becomes a must in agentic commerce

Articles · April 08 , 2026

Every visible transaction is a potential data leak in the agentic era. One of Bit2’s core design decisions was to embed confidentiality in the protocol from the start.

Client-Side Validation (CSV): The reliability the agentic economy needs

Articles · April 07 , 2026

In a world of autonomous agents, CSV redefines what a payment system can be. First entry on a series on Bit2 and the agentic economy taking shape

Extending Bitcoin Infrastructure for Autonomous Markets

publications · March 12 , 2026

As AI systems begin transacting and coordinating globally, Bit2 introduces a new layer designed for the agentic economy.
