Base Adds USD Coin Payments for AI Search Through ExaAILabs

AI agents can purchase searches with USD Coin (USDC) through a feature on Base, a blockchain platform, without creating an account or using an API key. ExaAILabs developed the feature.

The launch adds another search service using USDC on Base. On Nov. 4, Belong launched a platform for searching event listings across 400 cities that settles each API call on Base in USDC for $0.005. Belong's service focuses on event listings, while the ExaAILabs feature lets agents buy searches.
