Google Cloud and the Solana Foundation launch the AI agent pay-per-use system Pay.sh
Google Cloud and the Solana Foundation have jointly launched a payment system for AI agents called Pay.sh, which supports on-demand payment of API call fees on the Solana chain using stablecoins. This system is based on the x402 protocol incubated by Coinbase, allowing AI agents to discover, invoke, and pay for API resources without the need to register an account or subscribe to services, achieving a "pay-as-you-go" micropayment model.It is reported that AI agents can bind a Solana wallet as an identity identifier and automatically complete payments by recharging their balance with stablecoins or credit cards when invoking cloud services such as data analysis and model inference. Pay.sh operates on top of Google Cloud and connects backend services through an API proxy layer, such as large model calls and container applications. In addition, the system is compatible with the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) and connects to over 50 API service providers, covering scenarios such as communication, e-commerce, and on-chain data. Officials state that this model helps promote the development of the "Agentic Economy," enabling AI agents to autonomously consume and invoke internet services.
