# Bitrefill

> Agent-relevant slice: prepaid virtual Visa/Mastercard (the universal card bridge), eSIM data, phone/VoIP refills, VPN subscriptions. The bulk of the catalog is human-consumption gift cards (A2P procurement). NOT in the catalog: VPS/hosting, domains, compute, AI credits — see lnvps/bitlaunch/routstr/ppq-ai for those
