Coinbase has unveiled Agentic.Market, a new marketplace designed to be the “home page for the agent economy.” Agentic.Market is built on the x402 protocol, which is a universal payment standard for machine-to-machine transactions, and allows AI agents to search, review, and pay for services without the need for a human to be involved.
How Agentic.Market Works
Agentic.Market fills a huge void in the developing agentic economy: discovery of services. Before the development of this platform, both builders and agents relied on either fragmented sources of information or word-of-mouth to find x402-enabled services. Now, Agentic.Market takes this fragmented ecosystem and consolidates it into a highly visible and data-rich storefront.
- For Builders, Agentic.Market allows them to quickly and easily evaluate and use agent services from a central location, without having to worry about Application Programming Interface (API) keys, creating accounts, or logging in to the platform.
- For Providers, Agentic.Market helps create a distribution channel through curated listings and real usage data for agent services.
- For Agents, Agentic.Market provides a machine-readable means of discovering services [using the Model Context Protocol (MCP)] and of connecting to services during run-time autonomously.
- For Enterprises, Agentic.Market provides a complete picture of the agentic commerce ecosystem.
So far, the AI Agent App Store has a robust semantic search capability and includes the ability to search across thousands of agent services that are categorized in Inference, Data, media, social, infrastructure, and trading. Each of the agent service cards contains performance metrics that provide real-time statistics on total payment volume, number of transactions, number of unique buyers and sellers, and average value per transaction.
What’s the Real Deal
The x402 ecosystem has experienced incredible growth already: there are now 165 million transactions processed by the network, around USD 50 million in volume. There are currently around 100,000 services selling to more than 480,000 agents. Agentic.Market provides the missing coordination layer that converts a technical protocol into a discoverable and measurable economy. For the first time ever, AI agents can autonomously find and purchase the services they want (such as AI inference, real-time data, and computing power), all without requiring a human intervention to approve each microtransaction.
What Else
Developers can start building right away using the command Node Package eXecute (NXP) skills add coinbase/agentic-wallet-skills. In addition to building, Agentic.Market will automatically index services as they are used for the first time, ensuring the marketplace grows organically with ecosystem activity.
