Coinbase, AWS support publishers charging content fees via AI agents

Coinbase is working with Amazon Web Services to help publishers charge AI agents for content through the x402 agent payment protocol. The collaboration targets publishers using AWS CloudFront and its web application firewall. Publishers can enable the feature within existing AWS settings without separate accounts, invoices or API keys. AI agents pay in USDC on the Base network, with Coinbase’s x402 facilitator verifying payment on blockchain before content is delivered.
