ABOUT
Compute for agents.
Billed per second in sats.
Sockt is autonomous AI compute infrastructure. We give AI agents the ability to provision on-demand compute sandboxes, pay per second using Bitcoin Lightning (msats), execute tasks, and terminate — without human intervention.
Our mission
AI agents are becoming the primary operators of software. They need infrastructure that matches their nature: instant, autonomous, and economically programmable. Sockt eliminates the gap between an agent deciding to run a workload and the compute being live and billed — with settlement over Lightning in milliseconds.
How it works
01
Provision
The agent calls the Sockt MCP or SDK to spin up a sandbox — CPU or GPU — in under a second.
02
Pay
A Lightning invoice is generated and settled programmatically. Per-second billing starts immediately.
03
Execute
The agent runs its workload: code execution, data processing, model inference, or agentic subtasks.
04
Terminate
When the task is done, the agent terminates the sandbox. Billing stops. No idle waste.
Why Bitcoin Lightning?
Traditional payment rails add friction for autonomous agents: credit cards require human accounts, bank transfers have daily limits, and both settle in days. The Bitcoin Lightning Network settles in milliseconds, supports sub-cent denominations (msats), is programmable via standard invoices, and requires no intermediary. This makes it the only payment layer that can keep pace with agent-driven compute at scale.
