Crypto’s ‘AWS’ Alchemy unveils tool to make AI payment systems talk to each other
Alchemy’s AgentPay addresses the problem that the agentic payment systems currently coming online don’t talk to one another.
What to know:
- AgentPay promises one integration for every protocol, citing the likes of x402, MPP, A2P, L402.
- Alchemy has carried out a private beta soft launch for now, and is aiming for a general release in the coming weeks.
“That’s not sustainable, and it’s only going to get more fragmented as more systems launch,” said Alchemy CTO Guillaume Poncin in an email. “AgentPay fixes that. A merchant registers their existing API with us, we give them a new endpoint, and any agent on any supported protocol can pay them through it.”
Alchemy is widely seen as the “AWS of Web3,” as it provides the infrastructure, developer tools, and node services needed to build blockchain applications.
AgentPay promises one integration for every protocol, citing the likes of x402, MPP, A2P, L402. “We sit in the middle as the translation layer, where AgentPay routes instructions, and Alchemy never touches the funds,” Poncin said.
