Agent-to-API commerce: Solana Foundation partners Google Cloud on stablecoin payments for AI agents

7 mai 2026

The Solana Foundation has teamed up with Google Cloud to enable AI agents to discover, access, and pay, using stablecoins, for a host of enterprise-scale APIs. Access and pay-as-you-go for any API with stablecoins on Solana. The Solana Foundation says its new Pay.sh offering is a „unified coordination layer and marketplace for agent-to-API commerce” that abstracts away the human in the loop.

AI is now core to how we build and consume software. Agents search, synthesize, decide, and act often across dozens of services in a single workflow. But there’s a clear gap as the most powerful APIs still require a human to create accounts, manage credentials, KYC, and maintain billing relationships and subscriptions.

„Today that changes. In collaboration with Google Cloud, we’re introducing Pay.sh, a gateway service designed to bridge the gap between autonomous agents and enterprise infrastructure.” – according to the press release.

Introducing Pay.sh

Agents can now instantly discover, access, and pay-per-request for any API autonomously, for the first time supporting APIs from Google Cloud including Gemini, BigQuery, Vertex AI, and more using stablecoins on Solana. No accounts. No API keys. No subscriptions needed. 

How does it work?

„Pay.sh starts with a Solana wallet linked to your favorite AI interface including Gemini, Claude Code, Codex, Openclaw, Hermes, and more. Onramp funds with a credit card or stablecoin in 60 seconds, and your agent is ready to access paid services instantly.” – the company says.

„Agents can browse a unified marketplace of API endpoints, receive a live rate, and pay directly from its balance. No billing account to create and no subscriptions required. The payment is the credential – it’s that simple.” – Solana explains.

Under the hood, Pay.sh operates as an API proxy built on GCP, sitting in front of Google Cloud services including BigQuery, Gemini, Cloud Run, and more, handling account-less payment settlement on your behalf. Your agent’s Solana wallet acts as its identity with no need to create a Google account or manage rotating credentials. When an agent pays via x402, the gateway service authorizes the request through a verified endpoint, applying appropriate rate limits, quotas, and access controls so enterprise security and compliance are never compromised.

Settlement happens in seconds. Payments are processed in stablecoins over Solana’s high-throughput network, then reconciled with the provider. Developers pay only for what they use, and providers receive funds reliably, with no manual billing overhead on either side.

What can you access?

For the first time, agents have a single place to discover, access, and pay for the APIs they need including official Google Cloud APIs plus 50+ Community API facilitators with access to services across ecommerce, market data & intelligence, communications, and onchain infrastructure – all payable per call, with no account, no subscriptions.
