OdailyOdaily Planet Daily reports: According to official sources, OKX Onchain OS has launched the Agent Payments Protocol (APP), an open payment standard designed for the commercial activities of AI Agents. This protocol defines the payment methods for Agents in commercial scenarios, expanding their capabilities from single payments to complete business processes, and will support various payment modes including one-time payments, batch payments, usage-based payments, and escrow payments.It is reported that APP adopts a multi-chain open architecture, allowing any chain to implement its own version. Initial partners include the Ethereum Foundation, Uniswap, Aptos, Nansen, Paxos, MoonPay, Altlayer, Zerion, QuickNode, and others. OKX Onchain OS stated that the launch of APP will provide key payment infrastructure for the Agent economy, driving AI Agents from "executing payments" into a "commercial era."
