In addition to our own analysis over the past few days, we've received a number of reports from contributors among them Bitcoin Red Team and Project Loupe.
A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to investigate, report issues, and help improve the security of the Alby ecosystem. 🙏
We're working through them step by step.
The best course of action is simply to keep Alby Hub, the Alby Browser Extension, and Alby Go up to date.

🚀 Introducing l402.space — the Universal 402 Gateway
Any wallet. Any paid API. Any rail.
The web is filling up with APIs you pay per call.
l402.space lets your agent pay for any of them. No matter how they want to be paid.
Here's the headache:
Paid APIs don't all speak the same money language. One wants x402, another MPP, another L402.
So your agent ends up needing a different wallet for every one. Annoying.
l402.space fixes that:
You pay it once with any wallet over L402, x402, or MPP. And it settles the upstream API on your behalf over whatever rail that endpoint speaks.
One wallet. Everything paid for.
Want to try it? Just hand this to your agent:
"Open http://l402.space/llms.txt and tell me how I can use it."
Here are example APIs:
x402 → https://blockrun.ai/openapi.json
MPP → https://stableenrich.dev/openapi.json
L402 → https://sats4ai.com/llms.txt
Give your agent one way to pay for everything and give your API one way to get paid

Leveraging bitcoin payments in a business isn't just about picking any wallet.
It's about infrastructure that works for you: agent workflows, fee optimization, and liquidity automation running in the background.
We covered the finance side in Part 1.
Now: how AI agents and Lightning automation take it further.

We run our bitcoin business on Alby Hub: income, expenses, and bookkeeping, all in one place.
Here's exactly how we do it, and how your business could too. 👇
https://getalby.com/blog/manage-business-finances-bitcoin-alby-hub
Structuring our income streams
Subscriptions, one-time payments, zaps or donations, we route each stream into its own sub-wallet with a dedicated Lightning address.
So we get clean performance reports from day one without untangling one big pool.
Expense management
For instance, we pay some of our VPS hosting in bitcoin through an app connection with a monthly allowance that auto-renews in Alby Hub.
It is like a subscription. But we are in control with a custom budget and renewal date.
Streamline bookkeeping and accounting
We label a transaction the moment it happens: type, account, counterparty, memo aligned with our QuickBooks setup.
Then we export structured data straight into accounting. This saves us quite some time and reduces annoying errors.
That's how we manage our bitcoin income and expenses with Alby Hub.
What's missing before it works for you? DM us.
We'd love to help you get there.
(Part 2 will be about workflow + node automation with agents. Coming soon.) https://image.nostr.build/b85b05f838687e8e09618ef211cbce9c3307f22cf49c341c3b97bd18a58687a8.jpg

Thank you very much for this review 🙏.
Here is an English translation:
Bitcoin Apps I Use – Part 10: Alby Go
Today, I'm sharing the app I currently use most frequently – and it has a bit of a story: Alby Go.
I originally ran my own node with Alby Hub at home. Until the hardware failed. Instead of rebuilding, I easily migrated to Alby Cloud – which now hosts my Hub, but I retain the keys. Self-custody in the cloud, with significantly less maintenance than running my own node.
What I appreciate about it:
→ Self-custodial, even in the cloud. Alby Cloud hosts the Hub infrastructure, but I keep the keys. Structurally similar to Phoenix with ACINQ – a service provider supplies the infrastructure, and I retain custody.
→ NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect). Alby Go becomes the backend for Nostr clients and other apps. Zaps are sent directly from the wallet, and web apps can access it with permissions and budget limits. This is a huge leap forward in terms of user experience – and a feature that hardly any other app offers.
→ Lightning Address built in. [email protected] works immediately and also serves as a Nostr identifier. It can be personalized with your own domain.
→ Sub-accounts for families. Multiple separate sub-wallets under one hub. This allows family members to have their own Lightning wallets without each needing their own node or channel liquidity.
→ Seamless switching between self-hosted and cloud. I was able to switch from my own hosting to Alby Cloud without any data loss. It also works the other way around – anyone who wants to self-host can go back. Alby is consistently designed so that users can choose their own infrastructure layer.
→ More affordable than Phoenix with active use. My monthly cloud fee is lower than the Phoenix routing and liquidity fees I would otherwise incur. That was a surprise – and makes Alby Go attractive for my everyday use.
→ What you should know:
→ Cloud providers are a single point of failure. The keys are with me, but if Alby's service goes down, access to the hub is temporarily affected. Recovery via the keys remains possible at any time, but in everyday use, you're dependent on the service.
→ Self-hosting remains the "stronger" option. Those who want to run their own hub on Umbrel, Start9, or a mini-PC have no dependency on a hosting provider and are also independent of Alby as a company. Cloud is the pragmatic solution – self-hosting is the more sovereign one.
→ Monthly fees apply. Unlike Phoenix (pay-per-use via fees), Alby Cloud is a subscription. It's worthwhile for active users; for infrequent users, Phoenix would be cheaper.
My conclusion:
Alby Go is my most frequently used wallet. Self-custody without the maintenance overhead of running your own node, with NWC as the killer feature for Nostr and everything else, plus sub-accounts for family members – currently the best solution for my everyday needs.
Phoenix remains the second self-custodial Lightning wallet in the stack, with different trade-offs. Both are self-custodial, both have a service provider in the background (ACINQ and Alby Cloud, respectively) – but different models. Which one is a better fit depends on how active you are and whether you want to use the NWC and sub-account features.

When you create a new sub-wallet, you can set a custom lightning address/ LNURL:

What happens when you combine AI agents + Bitcoin payments?
We built a Bitcoin invoicing app with a single prompt using Replit Agent 🤯
AI handles the code. Alby handles the payments.
This is what building apps looks like now.

A single prompt. The agent is running. We'll see what it built at the end.
Anyone with an idea can now build bitcoin apps in minutes using Alby's new developer experience.
This session covers:
- Apps built by your agent and tested end-to-end without human interaction
- Alby AI toolkit running on @nprofile…etsy and @nprofile…04za
- NWC as an abstraction above bitcoin and the lightning network
- Alby Sandbox
- Alby Hub as the go-to wallet for builders

After years of predictions about AI agents spending bitcoin, in 2026 it's finally here.
@nprofile…g5jd sat down with @nprofile…ulqg from @nprofile…gfsf to discuss the first AI agent that spawned a "child" bot and paid for its own infrastructure using the bitcoin lightning network.
We cover:
- How is @openclaw different from ChatGPT?
- The first autonomous AI purchase ever recorded on @nprofile…etsy and @nprofile…04za
- Now everyone can build bitcoin apps

Do you find the Nostr plugin in BTCPay Server?
Does this guide help? https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/alby-account/connect-to-apps/btcpay-server

2026-03-16 06:25:12 GMT

- reply

Is your BTCPay Server up to date? And under "Plugins" you don't find the Nostr plugin?
It would be great if @npub19hg…yv9p was one of the default options to connect a lightning wallet, because open protocols are more future proof.

Happy to help. If there are any questions with the Alby Browser Extension.
side note: there is no wallet required for accessing Nostr apps, reading and posting Nostr messages. So you are set up within 2 minutes with the Alby Extension.

AI agents that can pay.
With the Alby Bitcoin Payments CLI Skill, agents can automatically pay invoices and manage payment flows once authorized.
See how Pull That Up Jamie by @npub14pf…7mwj uses it to let agents run research sessions and buy the credits they need. ⚡

An AI agent named Mike has access to $50 USD on an @nwc_dev bitcoin lightning wallet. Can you convince him to part with his money?

Alby CLI is the Alby Go for agents. It works with any NWC @nprofile…gs3w wallet.
Watch Alice pay Bob in 30 seconds ⚡
Alby CLI gives your agent a wallet interface with budgeted access to your wallet.
The Alby CLI skill teaches your agent exactly how to interact with an NWC wallet using Alby CLI:
- send and receive payments
- pay to lightning addresses
- fiat conversions
- list transactions
- lookup payments
- much more.
Add the Alby CLI skill to your agent with a single command: `npx skills add getAlby/alby-cli-skill`
On OpenClaw you can just tell it to "install https://getalby.com/cli/SKILL.md as a custom skill".
