Google Cloud, Solana Foundation roll out new pay-as-you-go system for AI agents
Summary
The Solana Foundation and Google Cloud have introduced Pay.sh, an open standard payment system that allows AI agents to discover, access, and pay for API services. By leveraging stablecoins on the Solana blockchain and protocols like x402 and the Machine Payments Protocol, agents can make micro-payments for specific API calls rather than committing to expensive subscriptions. This system allows agents to use their Solana wallets as digital identities, providing access to Google Cloud services and over 50 community API providers without requiring traditional user accounts or rotating credentials.
