Coinbase announced the launch of its new x402 Batch Settlement technology in a move aimed at advancing AI-powered payments through lower latency and more efficient financial settlements.
According to the company, the system utilizes off-chain vouchers alongside batch settlement mechanisms, enabling faster and lower-cost transactions compared with traditional blockchain-based payment methods.
Through this initiative, Coinbase aims to simplify payment processes for artificial intelligence applications and AI agents as demand grows for instant and scalable payment infrastructure within the digital economy.
The development comes as technology and crypto companies race to build financial infrastructure capable of supporting advanced AI use cases and decentralized services.
