Cloudflare launched Cloudflare Wallets on Tuesday, giving AI agents that run on its network a stablecoin balance and a human-readable name to present when they pay for APIs, content and MCP tools.
The product gives Cloudflare the buy side of agent payments a month after it built the sell side. Its Monetization Gateway, announced July 1, lets sites charge agents per request in stablecoins over x402, the protocol that repurposes the HTTP 402 status code for payments. Wallets is the account those agents pay from. Both sides run through a network that spans 337 cities and, by the company’s count, powers one in five websites.
x402 has settled 160.6 million transactions worth $41.2 million across seven chains and 18 tracked facilitators, according to Agent Economy, which counts transfers from known facilitator addresses on EVM chains and Solana. That averages about 26 cents per transaction. The tracker cautions that its totals include tests, infrastructure traffic and repeated service calls, and trackers using narrower facilitator lists report lower figures.
“When an agent shows up at your door, you need to know who sent it,” said Matthew Prince, Cloudflare’s co-founder and CEO, in the announcement. “Cloudflare can give agents a face — a link to the human or organization that owns them — so that trust, accountability, and real commerce can follow.”
