Agent payments will soon overtake human payments on the internet. The Machine Payments Protocol (Machine Payments Protocol) is a new open standard co-authored by Stripe and Tempo. It’s designed to be extensible and payment-method agnostic, already supporting stablecoins, cards, and more.

So far, machine payments have mostly been about businesses accepting stablecoins. And stablecoins are great (cross-border, low cost, etc.)! But much of the planet is holding a card. 🤖 💳 🌎 Here’s a 📺 sneak peek demo from Steve Kaliski of how a business can programmatically accept cards via agents. As an example: Stripe Climate is a way to contribute to carbon removal funding. Stripe Climate implemented the Machine Payments Protocol using the Stripe API, so agents can make micropayment donations ( In addition to accepting stablecoin (specifically usdc on Tempo), agents can now pay with fiat methods, namely cards and Link (and soon buy-now-pay-laters) via Shared Payment Tokens (SPTs), using the same Machine Payments Protocol integration. Human buyers, their agents, and businesses each have their own preferred methods of payment. Humans often already have a card. Agents may prefer stablecoins. Businesses tend to want to accept any form of payment, as long as it is high conversion, low fraud, and properly priced. For microtransactions, stablecoins are a low-cost way (no fixed card fee) to transact. But if you want to tell your agent to donate $100 on your behalf, a card may be the preferred solution. If you’re a business and want to accept machine payments, whether over stablecoins, cards, Link, or other future methods, read about Shared Payment Tokens ( and sign up for our machine payments private preview: And stay tuned: more to make it easy for consumers, agents, and businesses to transact, shipping over the next few weeks. (And excuse the acronyms and specifics terms, there's a lot of new infrastructure and primitives being built to support agentic commerce.)

Agent-native products are coming. Every product on the internet was built for a human with eyes, a cursor, and a credit card. Agents have none of those things. Most companies are teaching agents to pretend to be humans. That's a hack. The real opportunity is products designed for agents from scratch. Everything inverts: • Discovery → protocol registries, not ads and billboards • Trust → machine-readable reputation, not brand • Onboarding → full capabilities upfront, not a narrow slice • Payments → spend authorization, not checkout flows • Retention → zero. Agents switch between API calls. 30 years of human product design. Day one of agent product design.

Few weeks ago I built a demo that live generates music using Lyria 3 with streamed payments over websockets! Pretty cool demo showing the potential of Machine Payments Protocol sessions imo. (audio on)

We’ve developed a protocol that allows AI agents to autonomously discover, integrate with, and pay for services in real time. Today is a big step forward. This marks the beginning of a machine-friendly economy, where agents can interact and transact independently.

This is Year Zero of the machine economy. Agents paying agents. Quintillions of transactions. Trillions of dollars flowing at the speed of intelligent systems. Today we're launching Beep, the financial protocol for autonomous agents, on Sui. 🧵

1/ Introducing Agent Protocol: the payment stack for AI agents AI agents don’t have a SSN. They can’t use our human banking system. AI agents will use crypto. Agent Protocol provides the infra and token ($AGENT) that the AI agent economy will run on.

AI. RWAs. Agent-to-agent commerce. It's all converging on x402, Coinbase's protocol for machine-native payments. Now agents can pay each other in stablecoins at the HTTP layer, and they can do it in real time on Sei. Jay breaks it down with FINTECH.TV ↓

Together with the Accounts SDK, we're also releasing a new way of building Machine Payments Protocol pages, Payment Links & HTML Forms. This allows not just agents but also web users to access your MPP paywalled content. Works with any MPP-enabled method like Tempo, Stripe & Solana.

AI agents can finally pay each other thanks to Google for Developers' Agentic Payments Protocol (AP2) + x402. 👏 Alongside Google and Lowe’s Innovation Labs, we built a proof-of-concept demo where AI agents can plan a project, build a cart, and pay with stablecoins. 👇

Today at Sessions, @Stripe introduced streaming payments on Tempo. A single agent run produced thousands of sub-cent transactions onchain, with payment landing the instant each token was burned. Metered, paid for as it ran. The infrastructure for pay-per-use at scale is here.

Today at Sessions, John Collison showed an agent acting as both buyer and seller in the same loop. Using Stripe Projects and Tempo Wallet, the agent: • Paid $0.04 for an Alpha Vantage dataset in stablecoins • Generated a research report • Listed it for sale to humans and agents

We're excited to announce our partnership with Coinbase 🛡️ to bring Tavily to x402, the open protocol for internet-native agentic payments. With x402, agents can discover and use Tavily web search at runtime without an API key. Agents use a Base wallet to pay per-request and get instant results. The next billion agents will discover, pay for, and use online services fully autonomously. We’re live on and we’re just getting started. More in the comments.
