Solana Foundation and Google Cloud launch Pay.sh payment gateway for AI agents
Summary
The Solana Foundation and Google Cloud have partnered to launch Pay.sh, a specialized payment gateway that allows AI agents to autonomously access and pay for APIs using stablecoins on the Solana blockchain. Designed to eliminate manual processes like subscriptions and credential management, Pay.sh uses a Solana wallet as an agent's digital identity.
The service supports major Google Cloud offerings, including Gemini, BigQuery, and Vertex AI, while integrating over 50 community APIs. By leveraging the x402 open payment protocol, the platform enables direct, machine-native transactions, allowing for per-request payments that are settled on-chain, thereby facilitating the shift toward autonomous AI-driven workflows.
