Machine Payments Protocol adds identity support so AI agents can pay for infra APIs

Gakonst shares progress on agent payment infra: BoundlessHQ (inference) and E2B (sandboxes) are integrated, with model routers and cloud platforms like Cloudflare/Vercel still missing. The new update adds identity support to the Machine Payments Protocol — an extra roundtrip letting APIs demand proof like email ownership or wallet lookup — solving the top complaint from larger providers, beyond the standard 402-then-signed-payment flow.
