X Pay has raised $1 million to expand payment infrastructure that lets AI agents pay for API calls, The AI Insider reports. Its gateway lets an endpoint quote a price, accept a signed payment and return a response in one request, using USDC on Base.
Why it mattersThe report says X Pay has settled more than 50,000 payments since launching on Base in September. Its wallet controls include per-call spending limits, rolling budgets, approved destinations and thresholds for human approval. The company plans to expand to BNB Chain and Solana, and charges 1% of settled volume.
Discuss: Should AI agents be able to make routine API payments automatically within spending limits, or should a person approve every transaction?
