AEON launches AI Payment for autonomous crypto payments in real-world and online commerce

AEON's AI Payment Feature Launches to Revolutionize Crypto Payments

The crypto payment protocol, AEON, has officially unveiled its groundbreaking AI Payment feature. This innovative framework empowers AI agents to autonomously search, shop, and execute crypto payments across both online and offline merchants.

According to a recent blog post, AEON's vision is to build a comprehensive system that enables AI agents to take on a more active role beyond just facilitating crypto payments. Through AI Payment, these AI-powered agents will be able to shop online like real customers, learning user preferences, comparing products, and making purchases without human intervention.

The protocol has developed an integrated stack that supports various crypto payments through the new AI Payment feature. The agents will not only be able to complete online crypto transactions but also perform QR-code based payments in physical retail stores, thanks to AEON's Swap Pay functionality.

By 2025, AEON plans to deploy its AI agent payment service in North America and Europe through partnerships with Visa and Mastercard. The following year, the protocol aims to establish itself as the industry standard for AI agent payments and agent verification.

AEON's AI Payment is designed to be an omni-chain feature, supporting crypto wallets from multiple blockchain networks. To achieve this, the protocol has collaborated with major ecosystems, including BNB Chain, Solana, TON, TRON, Stellar, Plume, Bitget Wallet, and KuCoin Pay.

Furthermore, AEON's AI Payment comes with a built-in infrastructure that includes KYA (Know-Your-Agent) requirements to verify agent identity and behavior, as well as LLM-based payment intent verification and ZKP-based identity and authorization using a decentralized node network.

Recently, AEON announced a partnership with KuCoin Pay to enable crypto payments at both physical and online merchants. The protocol also integrated Stellar network assets, including XLM and USDC, into its AEON Pay solution earlier this year.
