AEON, the next-generation crypto payment framework designed for AI, has officially launched AI Payment, a foundational infrastructure that enables AI agents to search, shop, and pay autonomously using cryptocurrency, across both digital platforms and real-world retail environments.
By launching AI Payment, AEON is constructing a comprehensive framework where AI agents function as capable economic actors, not just digital assistants. Through AEON AI Payment, agents can learn user preferences, compare products, make purchases, and complete payments—without human intervention.
To power this new layer of AI-native commerce, AEON has developed an integrated stack that supports a variety of crypto payment scenarios. Online crypto payments allow agents to complete purchases on websites and platforms, while AEON Pay enables mobile QR code-based payments in physical retail environments. Swap Pay ensures smooth and automatic conversion between crypto assets and blockchain networks, and upcoming NFC-based functionality will further expand real-world usability through frictionless, contactless transactions.

AEON’s momentum is backed by an expanding network of strategic collaborations. It has partnered with leading AI projects like PIN AI and SendAI, integrating AI agents more deeply into real-world commerce. Additionally, AEON has collaborated with major blockchain ecosystems and platforms including BNB Chain, Solana, TON, TRON, Stellar, Plume, Bitget Wallet and KuCoin Pay, reinforcing its position as a foundational layer for Web3 payment infrastructure.
AEON’s leadership in the space has also been recognized: the project recently earned honor as the BNB Chain Demo Day Winner, further validating its role in shaping the next generation of AI-integrated payment systems. Looking forward, AEON’s mission is to globalize AI agent payments, aiming to cover 80% of real-world use cases, starting from Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. By 2025, AEON will partner with Visa and Mastercard to expand into North America and Europe, enabling the world’s first authorization-free, one-time AI agent payments. By 2026, AEON aims to establish industry standards for AI agent payments with advanced “Know Your Agent” authentication, enhanced security, and full regulatory compliance to become the trusted global benchmark for agent transactions and verification.
With the launch of AI payment, AEON lays the foundation for the future of intelligent commerce and accelerates the mainstream crypto adoption in everyday life, where AI agents don’t just assist, but act, transact, and deliver real-world value through crypto.
