Circle's Discovery API Simplifies USDC Payments Across Chains

Circle has launched its Discovery API, a tool designed to simplify how AI agents and developers identify and pay for services using USDC, its stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar.

The API requires no authentication or Circle account and consolidates x402-compatible services into a single public endpoint.

This includes financial analysis, web search, media generation, and infrastructure services that can be accessed seamlessly across multiple blockchains with USDC payment-enabled resources.

The launch is part of Circle's broader push into AI-driven automation and payment infrastructure, dubbed the 'agentic economy.'
