Circle has introduced the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP), a new open standard enabling AI agents and automated services to autonomously transact using USDC on EVM-compatible blockchains and Solana. Developed with Stripe and Tempo, MPP supports tiny payments as low as $0.000001, facilitating seamless machine-to-machine transactions for services like compute resources and API calls. This protocol is part of Circle's broader Agent Stack, which includes wallets and marketplaces for automated payments, aiming to bridge traditional payment systems with crypto settlements. The move positions Circle competitively amid other standards like Coinbase-backed x402, potentially accelerating enterprise adoption of crypto payments.
