Base is Coinbase\u2019s layer-2 blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>Batch settlement groups multiple small transactions and settles them later instead of processing each one immediately on-chain. Under the system, a buyer deposits ERC-20 tokens into on-chain escrow and signs off-chain vouchers, with multiple payments later redeemed through a single on-chain transaction.<\/p>\n<p>The feature reduces gas costs in AI agent payments. In a post on X on May 13, Joshua Nickerson, head of product for Coinbase\u2019s developer platform, wrote that batch payments allow merchants to offer agents a cheaper and faster payment experience. Fees for deposits, batch settlement and refunds are all paid by the payment intermediary.<\/p>\n<p>The feature also allows AI agents to use Ethereum-based ERC-20 tokens as a payment method in addition to stablecoins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coinbase-backed payment protocol x402 said it has introduced a batch-settlement feature for AI agent payments.
