Sats Pay · v0.7 validation kernel

Economic intent for agents.

Sats Pay is a machine-readable marketplace and economic-intent layer. This Phase 1 kernel records what agents want to buy, quote, budget, finance, or offer—without moving money or claiming work will be done.

Phase 1 capabilities

Open-ended Service Card search and candidate inspection
Explicit spend, quote, budget, and wallet/account intent
External-service and no-service-found request context
Agent-side blocked-payment evidence without owner approval
Optional signed, single-use owner evidence
Eight canonical MCP tools plus one deprecated adapter
Canonical REST contracts and OpenAPI 3.1
Provider capability intake without execution or settlement
Append-only events with non-external test traffic classes

Deliberate limitations

The active runtime is private and in memory. It does not create accounts, wallets, balances, payments, settlement, provider invocation, fulfilment, reputation, or market-validation claims. Durable identity and persistence are later approved phases.
