how does AEON become an AI secure clearing engine for the age of self-payment

By Momo, ChainCatcher

 

Recently, the X402 protocol, launched by Coinbase, was soared, not only by a surging notional token, but also by the successive adoption or endorsement of Web2 giants, including Google, AWS, Visa and others, that the number of AI agents on its agreement had increased by over 10,000 per cent in the past month。

And it's early May this yearAEON has launched the AI Payment protocolIn August, AEON entered into official cooperation with the Coinbase x402 agreement, becoming one of its first ecological partners, and spearheaded the integration of an AI Payment product x402. October, AEON announced that it was officially released on BNB Chainx402 Facilitator, works closely with the BNB Chain team to advance the BNB Chain primary x 402。

In this autonomous wave of AI, which was detonated by x402, AEON is not a chaser, but a key infrastructure builder already deployed, backed by real products and real business networks. How exactly is it located? Could it be a bottom-up clearing engine that drives the entire AI economy

behind the fire of 402: the payment revolution of the AI Age

the explosion of the 402 protocol pushed a key industry point forward: how does AI Agent “pay” for its consumption in the digital world and the real world when it is able to handle complex tasks on its own

The traditional financial infrastructure is almost helpless on this issue. There are two core pains: first, barriers to identification. The existing KYC system is designed to certify natural persons, and AI agents are unable to provide passports or identity cards, thus preventing them from opening bank accounts and lacking legal identity in the traditional financial system. Second, there's a mismatch in trade patterns. The economic activities of AI are UHF, small amounts, such as milliseconds of API calls, data purchases or computing leases. The processing capacity of tens of thousands per second of traditional networks such as Visa, high handling fees and several days of settlement cycle have completely failed in this scenario。

the emergence of the x 402 agreement was intended to address the underlying problem of standardization of AI payments at the block chain level. It defines a common agreement for value exchange between AI agents in encrypted networks, enabling different structures of AI systems to perform payment interoperability with uniform standards. This amounts to the creation of the lowest “payment language” for the AI economies and addresses the underlying issue of “how to talk to pay” between AI and services in a decentralised environment。

On the other hand, above the level of agreement constructed by x402, AEON is addressing the more challenging issue of landings, how to allow this standardized capacity to pay to penetrate the world along the chain, with seamless access to global business networks。

AEON INDICATES THAT IT ISThe first in the world for AI AgesCrypto Settlement LayerIts AI Payment product supports AI in the autonomous completion of payments and settlements, helps AI agents to purchase products and services globally or complete transactions, and achieves a true Actic Commerce (autonomous agency commerce)。

HOW DOES AEON SOLVE THE TRIPLE DILEMMA OF AI'S PAYMENTS

The AEON AI Payment solution is not a simple bridge, but a new payment paradigm tailored to the AI economy。

First of allAEON CREATED A VERIFIABLE “ECONOMIC IDENTITY CARD” FOR AI AGENTS THROUGH A CHAIN OF IDENTITY AGREEMENTS。THE SYSTEM BROUGHT ABOUT A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT FROM “KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER” (KYC) TO “KNOW YOUR AGENT” (KYA), ENABLING AI TO BYPASS TRADITIONAL KYC, GAIN INDEPENDENT PAYMENT IDENTITIES AND CAPABILITIES, AND ESTABLISH A CHAIN OF PAYMENT RECORDS THAT CAN BE TRACED THROUGHOUT。

After resolving the identity issueAEON CONSTRUCTED AN ENCRYPTED SETTLEMENT LAYER CAPABLE OF CARRYING AHF MICROPAYMENT REQUIREMENTS。ITS NETWORK SUPPORTS PROCESSING CAPACITY OF UP TO 500,000 TPS, WHICH MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE LARGE, SMALL, INSTANT VALUE SETTLEMENTS BETWEEN AI AGENTS OR WITH EXTERNAL SERVICES. THIS ALLOWS AI TO ACT AS SMOOTHLY AND CHEAPLY AS SENDING A MESSAGE WHEN CALLING ON SERVICES, HIRING PEERS OR BUYING RESOURCES. AEON CURRENTLY SUPPORTS THE INDEPENDENT PURCHASE OF DATA BY AI AGENTS, CALLS TO API OR HIRES OTHER AI AGENTS TO CARRY OUT THEIR TASKS, THUS CREATING A COMPLETE ECONOMIC CLOSURE。

ULTIMATELY, AEON HAS REACHED THE “LAST KILOMETRE” CONNECTING GLOBAL REAL-WORLD COMMERCE。Through direct links to local payment standards in countries such as QR Ph in the Philippines and Pix in Brazil, the AEON network has reached over 50 million businesses. This means that an AI agent can book hotels directly for users located in Manila by encrypting payments, while the merchant receives familiar local currency, and the entire process is done within seconds. This moves AI ' s capacity to pay from a purely chain space to a vast real economy。

The viability of this solution has been validated in the real scene. On the hacker pine organized by Coinbase Developments, AEON, in a public presentation in Demo, demonstrated that the AI assistant for the integration x 402 protocol, through the AEON network, had been able to perform an autonomous process from hotel search, price to scheduled payment. AEON's 50 million business network has been able to bring AI agent payments to more real consumption scenes。

FROM PAYMENT AGREEMENTS TO THE EVOLUTION OF THE AI ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE

AEON ' s ecological expansion path reflects its judgement on trends in AI ' s economic development. In addition to building cooperation in the BNB Chain AI ecology, its technology road map shows continued access to mainstream AI proxy infrastructure such as A2A Protocol and MCP, and plans to expand to electrical power platforms such as Amazon and Shopify, with a target of over 200 million businesses worldwide。

THIS PATH OF DEVELOPMENT REFLECTS AEON ' S THINKING ABOUT ITS OWN POSITIONING AND THE GRADUAL CONSTRUCTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THE AI-OWNED ECONOMY FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF ADDRESSING IMMEDIATE PAYMENT NEEDS. WHEN AI AGENTS ARE ABLE TO INDEPENDENTLY COMPLETE THE PROCUREMENT OF DATA SERVICES, CALCULATE RESOURCE LEASES, API MOBILIZE PAYMENTS AND EVEN CARRY OUT COLLABORATIVE MISSIONS, THE PAYMENT CHAIN WILL BE THE CORE COMPONENT DRIVING THE OPERATION OF THE ENTIRE AI ECONOMIC SYSTEM, WHILE AEON IS COMMITTED TO BECOMING THE BOTTOM “FINANCIAL HUB” OF THE AI ECONOMY。

AEON ADDRESSES IT SYSTEMATICALLYIdentification, payment performance, real-world connectivityThese three interrelated challenges provide the necessary payment infrastructure for the autonomous AI economy. In the AI trading ecology promoted by the x402, the value of AEON is reflected in the transformation of the interoperability standards of the Protocol layer into a landingable global commercial solution。

WITH THE INCREASING DEPTH AND BREADTH OF AI PROXY INVOLVEMENT IN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY, RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT PAYMENT SETTLEMENT SERVICES WILL BE A KEY ELEMENT UNDERPINNING THIS EMERGING ECONOMY. AEON ' S EARLY PRACTICE IN THIS AREA HAS ALLOWED IT TO GAIN EXPERIENCE IN TECHNICAL VALIDATION AND ECOLOGICAL COOPERATION, THUS ESTABLISHING A PRE-EMPTIVE ADVANTAGE IN FUTURE AI ECONOMIC COMPETITION。
