Cloudflare launches AI proxy wallet, supporting autonomous payment API for agents

According to official news, Cloudflare announced the launch of Cloudflare Wallets, providing payment and identity infrastructure for AI Agents.Cloudflare stated that currently, when AI Agents attempt new APIs, they typically need to go through registration, login, payment, and API key generation processes designed for humans. This lack of stable identity and native payment capabilities makes it difficult for agents to autonomously explore and compare different services, limiting the development of agent commerce. The newly launched wallet system aims to address this issue, allowing AI Agents to more conveniently purchase APIs, content, and other digital services.Cloudflare Wallets will support two modes: Account Wallets and Virtual Wallets. Among them, Account Wallets are aimed at individual and business users, allowing them to recharge, manage funds, and allocate budgets for AI Agents; Virtual Wallets are specifically designed for AI Agents, operating through API keys and allowing users to set spending limits, whitelists, and single transaction caps as security rules, enabling agents to autonomously call APIs and purchase services within a controlled range.In addition, Cloudflare Wallets will support stablecoin storage, micropayments based on the x402 protocol, and will integrate with Cloudflare's previously launched Monetization Gateway, providing automated trading capabilities for websites and applications aimed at AI Agents.Cloudflare stated that the future internet will gradually form a new "agent economy" driven by AI Agents, where wallets, payments, and identity verification will become key infrastructure. Through the cloudflare.pay identity identifier, AI Agents can obtain a readable identity name, helping merchants identify their associated accounts and organizations while enhancing transaction transparency.Cloudflare claims it will continue to improve the agent commerce ecosystem, providing developers and businesses with the foundational tools to support AI Agents in autonomously purchasing, selling, and interacting, promoting the transition of the internet from a human-oriented service model to an agent-oriented automated market.

Ripple launches XRPL proxy payment toolkit, laying out AI automated payment infrastructure

According to The Block, Ripple announced a toolkit for developers to build "proxy payment" applications on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), supporting AI agents to execute automated financial transactions.Ripple stated that AI agents are no longer a concept of the future but are actively participating in paying computational costs, settling invoices, and completing transactions without human intervention. As the application of AI agents expands, the market is accelerating the construction of payment infrastructure for machines, including wallets and stablecoin payment channels, enabling AI to autonomously complete service payments and asset transactions.This week, Robinhood also launched related plans, allowing users to try stock trading executed by AI agents, with plans to expand into the cryptocurrency space in the future; MetaMask also released a non-custodial wallet solution for AI agents.Ripple pointed out that traditional payment systems mainly serve human-initiated and approval processes, while AI agents require infrastructure that enables fast settlement, predictable outcomes, and no human approval. It emphasized that its new toolkit also supports payment capabilities based on the x402 protocol, allowing settlements using XRP and Ripple USD (RLUSD).Meanwhile, the IC3 team, composed of researchers from several universities, stated that although AI combined with blockchain can achieve automated trading, AI agents still heavily rely on humans and underlying infrastructure, lacking complete independence.
