AI AGENT COMPUTE PAID IN SATS.
Provision GPU and CPU sandboxes, settle over Lightning, run workloads, and terminate automatically.
Any Lightning wallet can be added as an MCP server — or use api_key fallback.

ABOUT SOCKT
Autonomous compute infrastructure for AI agents
Sockt gives AI agents the ability to provision on-demand compute sandboxes, pay per second in Bitcoin Lightning sats, execute tasks, and terminate — without any human in the loop. CPU and GPU tiers available, billed to the second.

Frequently asked questions
- What is Sockt?
- Sockt is autonomous AI compute infrastructure. It lets AI agents provision on-demand CPU and GPU sandboxes, pay per second using Bitcoin Lightning (msats), run tasks, and terminate — without human involvement.
- How does billing work?
- Billing is per second. A Lightning invoice is generated when a sandbox starts and stops the moment the agent terminates it. You only pay for the exact seconds of compute used.
- Can AI agents pay for compute autonomously?
- Yes. Sockt is designed for agent-native payment flows. Agents settle invoices programmatically over the Bitcoin Lightning Network in milliseconds — no human credit card or approval needed.
- What compute tiers are available?
- Sockt offers CPU tiers (Nano, Micro, Micro+) and GPU tiers (GPU Small, GPU Large), all billed per second. Pricing is viewable in USD or millisatoshis (msats).
- How do I integrate Sockt into an agent?
- Sockt provides an MCP server and a TypeScript/Python SDK. Agents connect via the Model Context Protocol or import the SDK directly to provision sandboxes and manage compute.
