Cloudflare's wallet system lets AI agents transact directly with APIs without human intermediaries pre-funding or managing access. The commercial model shifts from subscription tiers to real-time, usage-based settlement—infrastructure necessary as agents move from demos to production systems that autonomously access thousands of services without manual approval loops. Identity handles standardize how agents establish trust and reputation across ecosystems, creating persistent behavioral records that could affect future access pricing or restrictions.
