SatRank
Allows Alby Agent Toolkit to discover and pay L402 endpoints via SatRank's trust oracle.
SatRank
Lightning trust oracle for AI agents on L402. Bitcoin-pure.
What this does
Crawls the L402 ecosystem (l402.directory + RSS + DNS) to build a catalogue of paid endpoints.
Probes each endpoint, classifying outcomes across 5 stages: challenge / invoice / payment / delivery / quality.
Scores every (endpoint, stage) pair as a streaming Beta(α, β) posterior. The end-to-end success probability is the product of stage means.
Ranks candidates on
POST /api/intent(paid 2 sats via L402): an agent passes a category + budget + SLA, gets back the top-K endpoints with full Bayesian breakdown.Publishes signed Nostr trust assertions (kind 30782) so any agent can cache / verify SatRank's output offline.

Public endpoints
Doc surfaces:
GET / landing page (static HTML)
GET /methodology technical reference (static HTML)
GET /api API reference (static HTML)
GET /openapi.json OpenAPI 3.0 spec (machine-readable)Functional API (nine routes — POST /api/intent is the only L402-gated one):
POST /api/intent paid, 2 sats via L402
POST /api/deposit free, mint a multi-use deposit macaroon (10–10000 sats, 30-day TTL)
GET /api/deposit/:macaroon_id free, read remaining balance
GET /api/services/:url_hash free, per-endpoint score snapshot
GET /api/services/categories free, list of catalogue categories
GET /api/services/best free, top-3 per category (5-min cache)
GET /api/oracle/budget free, last 24h revenue + paid-probe spend
GET /health free, liveness
GET /.well-known/satrank-key free, oracle pubkey for offline verifyDeposit macaroons let an agent pre-pay N sats once and use the bearer
preimage across many /api/intent calls without a Lightning round-trip
per call. Authorization: L402 deposit_<id>:<preimage_hex>.

Scoring math
For each (endpoint, stage), maintain a Beta(α, β) posterior with α₀ = β₀ = 1 (uniform prior). On every observation:
success → α += 1
failure → β += 1
Stage mean: α / (α+β). 95% credible interval via Wilson (closed-form). End-to-end success: ∏ stage_means across the 5 stages, assuming stage independence.
is_meaningful is true iff the challenge stage has at least MEANINGFUL_N_OBS_MIN observations. The challenge stage is observed on every probe (free or paid), so its n_obs converges fastest. p_e2e remains the honest end-to-end product separately.
