Coinbase Unveils Agentic.market for AI Agents
Coinbase's x402 payments protocol has launched Agentic.market, a marketplace where AI agents can discover and transact with compatible web services using stablecoins without needing API keys. The platform offers access to services including Google Flights and the social media platform X.
Nick Prince, Coinbase's product lead, announced the platform on X, describing it as a 'storefront for discovering, comparing, and using x402 services.' He added that hundreds of thousands of AI agents have already processed hundreds of millions in transaction volume, but users had historically depended on fragmented sources and word-of-mouth to find compatible tools.
Agentic.market operates on two layers: a web interface for human users to browse and compare services, and a programmable layer that lets AI agents search, filter, and activate new capabilities at runtime. Each agent receives a wallet that enables it to buy and sell services directly on the platform.
