Solana Foundation, Google Cloud partner on AI bot payment system

The Solana Foundation has partnered with Google Cloud to develop Pay.sh, a new payment system for AI bots. According to The Block, the system enables AI bots to search, access, and pay for API usage with stablecoins on the Solana network without needing to create accounts or pay subscription fees to online service providers. The system utilizes the x402 protocol, an open AI payment standard developed by Coinbase, as its gateway service.
