LiveAuth is a CAPTCHA alternative that:

• Uses Proof-of-Work (free for humans) or Lightning payments (for agents) • Issues JWT tokens on successful verification • Supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) for AI agents • Self-hosted, non-custodial Lightning

The problem it solves:

• CAPTCHAs are broken - AI solves them in seconds • API keys leak, have no per-request payment • Agents need identity + ability to pay for resources

How it works:

1. User/agent requests auth challenge 2. Solves PoW (free) OR pays 1-3 sats via Lightning 3. Gets JWT token valid for API calls 4. Agent can pre-fund a Lightning wallet for autonomous payments
