Payment company Block announced the integration of the Bitcoin Lightning Network into the x402 payment standard. The x402 protocol can complete verification and unlock data through Lightning Network invoices and payment preimages after the server returns an HTTP 402 payment request.Steve Lee, head of Block's open-source Bitcoin development department Spiral, stated that this integration is aimed at instant, low-cost micropayment scenarios. Block has not yet disclosed the timeline for integrating this standard into Cash App, Square, or Bitkey, and the related Python implementation still needs to be tested through real nodes.

According to X user @UngusTrade's post on September 21, a commit named "Binary options support" recently appeared in Lighter's prover code repository, which describes ZK circuits that support Lighter. The code shows that this implementation is for standard binary outcome contracts, with a settlement cap for each market, typically set at 100 for prediction markets, where share prices trade between 0 and the cap, settling at either 0 or the cap. The contracts are fully collateralized in USDC, with no leverage and no liquidation.It is noteworthy that the circuit supports continuous markets, allowing for settlement at any value within a range, thus enabling contracts based on measurements, rather than just yes or no events. Additionally, Lighter may allow whitelisted operators to create, manage, and settle markets, similar to the deployment model of HIP-3. Currently, Lighter has not commented on this.
