Coinbase launches x402 marketplace for AI agents and developers

The marketplace gives builders and agents a single place to find, compare, and integrate x402 services as Coinbase expands its agent payments stack.

Coinbase has launched Agentic.Market, a public marketplace for discovering, comparing, and integrating x402 enabled services, adding a more visible discovery layer to its push into agent payments and machine to machine commerce.

The platform is designed for both human developers and AI agents, with searchable service listings, pricing data, usage metrics, and integration guidance in one place.

Bazaar currently serves as x402’s backend discovery layer, indexing payable services across the network with pricing, payment metadata, and onchain activity. Agentic.Market builds on that foundation by turning the infrastructure into a public marketplace where developers and AI agents can more easily search, compare, and integrate services.

According to Coinbase, the protocol supports programmatic payments by both humans and machines and is meant for use cases such as paid APIs, pay per call services, and autonomous agents buying access to tools at runtime.

The timing also fits a broader Coinbase effort to build infrastructure around autonomous software. In February, Coinbase launched Agentic Wallets, which it said gave agents self custody wallets, spending limits, gasless trading on Base, and x402 based payment capabilities.

At the time, Coinbase said x402 had already processed more than 50 million transactions. The protocol has now grown to more than 165 million transactions, over $50 million in volume, and more than 480,000 transacting agents.

The marketplace arrives just weeks after x402 was moved toward a more neutral industry structure. On April 2, the Linux Foundation said it was launching the x402 Foundation and that Coinbase was contributing the protocol into that governance framework, with backing from companies including Cloudflare, Stripe, AWS, Google, Shopify, Visa, and Mastercard.
