An API proxy is launched on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), which stands between the AI agent and Google Cloud&#8217;s backend solutions: BigQuery for data analysis, Gemini for LLM calls, and Cloud Run for container applications.<\/p>\n<p>The proxy authenticates and modifies the agent&#8217;s request before sending it to GCP, and also adds payments via x402 or MPP.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cYour agent&#8217;s Solana wallet acts as an identifier.
