Solana News Today : Solana Foundation and Google Cloud are pushing deeper into the AI economy with the launch of Pay.sh, a new payment gateway that allows autonomous AI agents to access and pay for APIs using stablecoins on the Solana network.
The move signals a major step toward machine-to-machine payments powered by crypto.
Announcing the launch, Solana Foundation Chief Product Officer Vibhu Norby said:
“In collaboration with Google Cloud, we’re introducing Pay.sh, a gateway service designed to bridge the gap between autonomous agents and enterprise infrastructure.”
He further added,
“We launched a new way to pay per API call with Solana stablecoins today, in collaboration with GCP.”
The project focuses on solving one of AI’s growing problems, how autonomous agents can independently pay for services online in real time.
This newly launched platform allows AI agents to instantly pay for access to more than 75 APIs using USD Coin, without requiring subscriptions, billing accounts, or traditional payment systems.
Pay.sh connects a Solana wallet directly to AI tools such as:
Users can fund wallets using either a credit card or stablecoins within roughly 60 seconds.
Once connected, AI agents can browse a marketplace of API services, view live pricing, and instantly pay per request using USDC. Costs are often only fractions of a cent, making micropayments practical for AI-driven systems.
Unlike traditional cloud setups, users do not need to create billing accounts or manage API credentials. Instead, the payment itself acts as authorization.
The launch shows a growing trend where crypto infrastructure is becoming increasingly integrated into AI systems.
For the first time, AI can find, use, and pay for APIs in one place using stablecoins instead of old payment systems.
The platform currently supports official Google Cloud APIs alongside more than 50 community API providers across sectors.
This follows Coinbase launching Agentic Market, powered by USDC and x402, which has already nearly 165 million transactions across over 480,000 AI agents, most of them on Base.
As AI adoption accelerates globally, crypto-powered payment systems may quietly become one of the sector’s biggest real-world use cases.
