Solana, Google Cloud Launch Pay.sh for AI Stablecoin Payments

Solana Foundation and Google Cloud launched Pay.sh, a pay-as-you-go marketplace that lets AI agents settle API payments in stablecoins on Solana using the x402 protocol. The platform is live now and the foundation said developers can publish endpoints without a waitlist.

Pay.sh replaces pre-funded accounts and subscriptions with per-call payments. Services available through the registry include Gemini, BigQuery and Vertex AI. Each API call clears in dollar-pegged stablecoins and community facilitators handle settlement on Solana’s low-latency network.

The platform extends the x402 standard into a unified registry where Google Cloud appears alongside more than 50 community API facilitators. Pay.sh ships with a command-line interface and integrates with agent frameworks such as Gemini, Claude Code, Codex, Openclaw and Hermes. Agents can search the registry, request access to endpoints and complete on-the-fly payment flows without additional integration work.

Google Cloud has become a Solana validator and the Solana Foundation released an agent toolkit to simplify development. Pay.sh links those technical elements with a commercial layer that sits above compute and data endpoints.

For companies that keep data inside Google Cloud, Pay.sh offers a way to expose BigQuery or other endpoints through the x402 registry while a facilitator enforces access controls and handles billing. Data owners receive dollar-pegged stablecoins as payment instead of receiving traditional invoices.

Transaction activity on x402 has slowed recently. Early adoption metrics to watch include how many enterprise data owners list commercial endpoints in the weeks after launch. Pay.sh settles transactions directly on Solana and therefore differs from other agent payment approaches that route settlement through different networks or rails.
