Description

SatGate acts as an economic access control proxy for AI agents, managing authentication, hard budget enforcement, per-tool cost attribution, and Lightning Network micropayments. It supports capability tokens (macaroons) for secure delegation and enforces zero-trust policies with minimal latency overhead. SatGate can be self-hosted or used as a managed SaaS, providing a unique economic governance layer that complements routing gateways and traditional API gateways.
