BRC-166 becomes official standard for AI agent payments on BSV

  • BRC-166 was approved and merged into the BSV BRCs repository on August 28, 2026
  • Payments settle in satoshis over HTTP 402 using only a BSV key, no BRC-100 wallet needed
  • Each payment goes to a unique one-time address verifiable on the public blockchain
  • A working implementation has been live on mainnet at bsv.cx for weeks
Why it matters: The standard removes wallet-setup friction for autonomous AI agents, enabling trustless per-request micropayments on BSV.
