AI agents need to pay for API calls. Existing auth solutions don't handle this.
LiveAuth is a CAPTCHA alternative that:
• Uses Proof-of-Work (free for humans) or Lightning payments (for agents)
• Issues JWT tokens on successful verification
• Supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) for AI agents
• Self-hosted, non-custodial Lightning
The problem it solves:
• CAPTCHAs are broken - AI solves them in seconds
• API keys leak, have no per-request payment
• Agents need identity + ability to pay for resources
How it works:
1. User/agent requests auth challenge
2. Solves PoW (free) OR pays 1-3 sats via Lightning
3. Gets JWT token valid for API calls
4. Agent can pre-fund a Lightning wallet for autonomous payments

Built with .NET 8, Angular, LND node. Open source coming soon.
