Coinbase has launched what it is calling the App Store for AI agents, a marketplace where autonomous AI systems can discover, pay for and consume services from other AI systems without human intervention, API keys or traditional payment infrastructure.
The platform, called Agentic Market, is powered by the x402 payment protocol and built primarily on Base, Coinbase’s layer-2 blockchain network. According to Base, the infrastructure underpinning the marketplace has already settled over 167 million x402 transactions, with 85% of those settling on Base.
“Agentic(.)Market takes it to the next level with an agent-to-agent marketplace.
The next stage in agentic acceleration, happening on-chain.”
Data from the Agentic Market dashboard shows that the platform is quickly gaining traction. Total payment volume has already shattered $49.482 million across more than 1.8 million transactions, with 86,659 buyers and 12,729 sellers currently active on the platform. The current one-day total payment volume stands at $15,708.08.
Meanwhile, the Services Leaderboard reveals which companies AI agents are paying the most to access. Anthropic sits at number one for inference, indicating that AI agents are autonomously paying to use Claude more than any other service on the platform. OpenAI ranks fourth in the same inference category. Other top services include Bankr for infrastructure, Google Flights for travel data, Perplexity and Exa for search, Deepgram for media, CoinGecko for crypto data, Alchemy for blockchain infrastructure and DeepSeek for inference.
Earlier this month, Marc Andreessen, the co-founder of the venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), said crypto’s “killer app” is now here, believing that AI agents will rely on stablecoins and the blockchain to process digital transactions. According to Andreessen, traditional payment rails are not designed to handle the incoming scale of AI agent transactions.
