According to BlockBeats, on May 6, Google Cloud and the Solana Foundation jointly launched Pay.sh, a payment system for AI agents, which supports on-demand payment of API call fees on the Solana blockchain using stablecoins.
The system is based on the x402 protocol incubated by Coinbase, which allows AI agents to discover, call and pay for API resources without registering an account or subscribing to services, enabling a "pay-as-you-go" micropayment model.
The AI agent can be linked to a Solana wallet as its identity and topped up with stablecoins or credit cards. It automatically completes payments when accessing cloud services, including data analytics and model inference. Pay.sh runs on Google Cloud and connects to backend services, such as large model calls and container applications, through an API proxy layer.
Furthermore, the system is compatible with Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) and connects to over 50 API service providers, covering scenarios such as communications, e-commerce, and on-chain data. The official statement indicates that this model helps promote the development of the "Agentic Economy," enabling AI agents to autonomously consume and access internet services.
