// Find sites looking for backlinks
const sites = await abn.findSites({ industry: 'plumbing', state: 'CA' });
// Send trade proposal via encrypted DM
await abn.sendDM(sites[0].npub, {
  type: 'trade-proposal',
  message: 'Want to exchange links? I have a DA35 HVAC site.',
  mySite: 'https://acmehvac.com'
});
// Verify link was placed
const result = await abn.verifyLink('https://partner.com/partners', 'acmehvac.com');

// Accept a deal
await abn.sendDM(partnerNpub, { type: 'trade-accept' });

✅ Verification

// Verify a backlink exists and is dofollow
const result = await abn.verifyLink(
  'https://partner.com/partners',  // Page to check
  'mysite.com',                    // Domain to find
  { dofollow: true }
);
// result: { verified: true, href: '...', anchor: '...', dofollow: true }

⚡ Lightning Payments

// For paid links (not trades)
const invoice = await abn.createInvoice(5000, 'deal-123');
const payment = await abn.payInvoice('lnbc...');
