The innovation addresses the issue of incompatible autonomous protocols. Previously, merchants had to set up separate gateways for each standard to accept transfers from AI agents.
“This is unsustainable, and with the launch of new systems, fragmentation will only increase. AgentPay fixes the situation,” stated Alchemy’s CTO Guillaume Poussin.
A merchant registers an existing API on the platform and receives a new endpoint. Through this, any agent can make a payment using one of the supported protocols (such as x402, MPP, A2P, or L402).
Poussin emphasized that AgentPay functions solely as a transit layer for routing commands — Alchemy itself does not interact with users’ funds.
Currently, the solution is undergoing closed beta testing, with a public release expected in the coming weeks. The project, often dubbed the “AWS of the Web3 world,” provides developers with foundational infrastructure and node services for building blockchain applications.
The concept of autonomous finance relies on micro- and nano-transactions. Some of these operations occur directly between AI agents without human involvement. It is expected that this segment will become the foundation of online payment activity in the future.
Earlier, the Solana Foundation announced the Solana Agent Skills solution. This is a set of skills that can be integrated into AI agents for blockchain interaction.
