tl;dr: Cloudflare is launching a Monetization Gateway that lets customers charge per-request for any resource behind Cloudflare—web pages, APIs, datasets, or MCP tools—using the x402 protocol and stablecoin settlement. The system handles payment verification at the edge, allowing sub-cent micropayments without requiring buyers to sign up or hold API keys, targeting AI agents as the primary paying customers. Sellers define pricing rules (per verb, variable, or fallback for unauthenticated callers) via dashboard, API, or Terraform, and can redeem stablecoins for fiat. A waitlist is open now.
