Cloudflare has introduced a set of tools aimed at AI agents, including an identity product called cloudflare.id and a wallet service designed to hold funds these agents can use for payments. The company said the products are meant to support what it describes as "agentic commerce," a model in which AI assistants can shop and transact online on behalf of users. With cloudflare.id, an AI agent can carry a permanent and verifiable online identity, giving merchants a way to check whether that agent is acting for a real user. Cloudflare also said the wallet can be funded through bank transfers, with balances converted into a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin for purchases. To reduce the risk of uncontrolled spending, the wallet includes guardrails such as spending caps and merchant whitelists, allowing users to define where and how much an AI agent can spend. Cloudflare said today’s HTML-based web was largely built for humans, while an AI-era internet may shift toward machine-friendly information structures that help agents retrieve information and complete transactions more efficiently, according to Fortune.
Cloudflare has launched identity authentication tools and a digital wallet service for AI agents, saying the products are meant to help build what it calls "agentic commerce" and allow AI assistants to shop and transact online on behalf of users.
Identity and wallet tools built for AI agents
The company said cloudflare.id will give a user’s AI agent a permanent, verifiable online identity. That is intended to let merchants confirm whether a given AI agent is acting on behalf of a real user. Alongside the identity product, Cloudflare also introduced a wallet service to store funds that an AI agent is allowed to spend.
Wallet funding and stablecoin conversion
According to the announcement, the wallet can be funded through bank transfers, and the deposited funds are converted into a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin. Users can then authorize their AI agents to use the wallet to complete shopping payments.
Controls to limit spending
To prevent runaway spending by AI agents, Cloudflare Wallet includes safety controls such as spending limits and merchant whitelists. Users can set boundaries on where an agent can shop and how much it can spend.
Cloudflare’s view of the AI-era internet
Cloudflare said the traditional HTML web was mainly designed for human users, while the internet in the AI era may adopt a more machine-friendly information structure so that agents can gather information and complete transactions more efficiently.
