Coinbase launches AI agent "search engine" platform x402 Bazaar

The Coinbase developer platform launches the discovery layer "x402 Bazaar" for AI agents, which is called the proxy version of "search engine". The platform provides a unified portal for autonomous AI agents to help them automatically find, interact and pay access to new services. x402 Bazaar is built on the x402 protocol, which is an open payment protocol developed by Coinbase. It supports real-time payment of stablecoins through HTTP, exempting the account and subscription process, allowing AI agents to independently discover and pay services in application scenarios. Coinbase said that the AI ​​proxy function was previously limited by developer presets and the expansion was slow. x402 Bazaar breaks this bottleneck, allowing agents to automatically obtain financial data, call image and video generation tools, and even book performances or manage business processes. x402 Bazaar will promote the popularization of "self-improved AI agents", and there may be AI companies that can operate independently in the future.
