Empowering PayFi at the convergence of AI Agents, Blockchains, and Lightning Network, Astra enables Lightning Network for blockchains, allowing all tokens to be used for payments on Lightning, facilitates AI Agent payments on Lightning, and drives PayFi with the intersection of Lightning and AI Agents.
Astra consists of two products:
Astra Bridge allows for the creation of smart contracts, namely Hash Time-Locked Contracts (HTLC), that can make trust-minimized bridging of other chains’ native assets such as ERC20 into Taproot Assets on Lightning Network.
Astra SDK simplifies bridging and payment integration for platforms and merchants, and deployments of AI Agents.
Enables Lightning Network for all blockchains, apps and tokens
Implements PayFi on Lightning Network for global, instant, ultra low-fee settlement
Unlocks cross-chain interoperability and chain abstraction

Astra is designed to support all kinds of blockchains and tokens. For the most updated list of our supported blockchains and tokens, check out the dropdown lists at app.astra-labs.io.
In order to perform a bridging request, you must first have a compatible wallet on the blockchain and one, which supports Taproot Assets on Lightning Network. Astra supports the most popular wallets. If you have a wallet that isn't supported, reach out and ask us in Telegram.
