Mastercard Launches AI Agent Pay Protocol

1 hours ago

On June 10th, Mastercard announced the launch of Agent Pay for AI, a new protocol that allows AI agents to make payments to each other and process micropayments—for instance, when an AI automatically pays for data as it streams through a website segment. The permissions humans grant these AI agents are stored on the blockchain; the initial implementation uses the Polygon network to ensure transparency and verifiability, so all parties can confirm the agent acted as instructed. Companies including Adyen, Coinbase, and Cloudflare are collaborating with Mastercard to develop the protocol. Jorn Lambert, Mastercard’s chief product officer, stated that the protocol will not be a major revenue source in the near term, but he expects it to evolve into a meaningful new market over the next five years. Industry giants like Visa, Stripe, Coinbase, and Google are also working on AI payment protocols, collectively driving the future of machine-to-machine payments and AI chatbots leading e-commerce transactions. For now, though, the volume of agent-based payments remains relatively small.
