SQL API Embraces x402 Payment Standard
Coinbase Developer Platform has announced full support for the x402 payment standard in its SQL API. This advancement allows AI agents to query indexed Base blockchain data directly, while paying per request using USDC, removing the need for API keys, account registrations, or manual interventions.
Simplifying Operations for AI Agents
This innovation drastically streamlines how AI agents interact with blockchain data. Developers can now perform fast and efficient queries without navigating complex approval processes or managing API credentials.
Looking Ahead: Native Infrastructure Expansion
Notably, SQL API is the first service on the Coinbase Developer Platform to adopt the x402 standard, with more AI agent-focused native infrastructure set to roll out soon, fostering deeper integration between AI and blockchain technology.
