Summary
Cloudflare announced the Monetization Gateway, a new service that enables customers to charge for any asset protected by Cloudflare — including web pages, datasets, APIs, and MCP tools. It provides a unified control plane for managing payment policies and access controls, with payment verification and enforcement handled at the edge to protect origin servers. At launch, payments settle in stablecoins via the x402 open protocol, eliminating the need for customers to build their own payments infrastructure.

It will provide a single control plane to manage payment policies and access controls across your applications, while also protecting your origin from high payment volumes by handling payment verification and enforcement at the edge.
At launch, payments will settle in stablecoins over the x402 open protocol, with no payments stack of your own to build.
