Cloudflare announced Wallets. AI agents aren't equipped to make purchases right now. They have no native way to pay for APIs, which anyone running Claude Code sees constantly: it hits a paywall, stalls, and kicks back to you to enter a card or start a subscription.

Agents do not have a stable identifier to sign up for an API, and they do not have a native way to pay for APIs.
