Confidentiality in Agentic Commerce Transactions
Fairgate published a post on Bit2, a client-side validation payment architecture for Bitcoin, describing a model for deterministic, high-throughput transactions without reliance on routing or sequencers, and contrasting it with Lightning and rollup-based approaches.

Confidentiality in Commercial Agentic Transactions
A key property of this architecture is deterministic payment success. In traditional payment channel networks, such as the Lightning Network, payments may fail due to insufficient liquidity, routing fragmentation, or network topology constraints, and success probability often decreases as the payment amount increases. In contrast, Bit2 transactions succeed deterministically once accepted by the receiver: there is no routing process, no dependency on third-party liquidity, and no probabilistic execution.
