Sep 1, 2026 · 20:41
Anil Nadiminti, Senior Solutions Architect at AWS, presents AgentCore Payments — a service that lets AI agents autonomously discover, authorize, and execute payments for premium content over the x402 protocol. He explains how AgentCore handles paywalls through wallet support via Coinbase, with KMS-secured secret storage keeping private keys safe. Bot detection verifies trusted agents while blocking malicious ones, and per-session budgets with spend limits keep settlement instantaneous at internet speed. Real-time traffic analysis and observability throughout the stack ensure payment connectors, MCP5 integration, and web scraping all operate without exposing credentials — no centralization required, no SDK change, and no friction for developers building agentic applications.
