OKX has launched Agent Payments Protocol, an open standard for agent commerce that it says can support AI-driven payments and transactions across chains.
OKX has launched Agent Payments Protocol, an open standard it says will allow autonomous AI agents to negotiate, pay and transact in real commerce workflows.
The company published the protocol on April 29, and later coverage from The Block, Cointelegraph and CryptoBriefing corroborated the rollout. OKX says APP is designed for agent-to-agent and agent-to-service transactions and can support recurring payments, batch payments, pay-as-you-go flows and escrow-style settlement.
The exchange says the protocol is part of its broader Onchain OS and Agentic Wallet stack. In its own materials, OKX says the system is intended to work across chains including Ethereum and Solana.
The move pushes OKX beyond a simple agent wallet product and toward a broader payment layer for AI-driven commerce. The company is positioning APP as an open standard, which could make it easier for other developers and platforms to build on top of it.
What happens next will depend on whether developers adopt the standard and whether the promised commerce features move from launch language into live integrations. For now, OKX has put a new payment protocol into the market and is betting that autonomous agents will need their own transaction rails.
