AEON, a Web3 payment platform built for the AI economy, has announced an integration with X-Layer, an Ethereum Layer 2 network developed by OKX.
The integration allows AEON to deploy its scan-to-pay feature on X-Layer for users to make crypto-based payments with X-Layer tokens.
Through the collaboration, X-Layer users can utilize their on-chain assets on X-Layer to make both online and offline payments, including purchases at local and convenience stores, by scanning QR codes.
This unified integration gives X Layer users frictionless payment options across multiple environments, bridging Web3 wallets and real-world spending.
As part of the integration, AEON’s payment solution has also been embedded into OKX Pay, OKX’s in-app payment wallet.
For OKX users in supported regions, the scan-to-pay feature is now accessible directly within the OKX app, allowing payments to be made using X-Layer tokens for offline transactions.
The OKX rollout expands real-world payment options for X-Layer token holders, allowing users to access AEON’s payment solution across multiple environments.
AEON: Connecting AI Agents With Real-World Crypto Payment
AEON is a crypto payment framework designed to bridge the AI economy with real-world merchants.
The platform provides access to autonomous AI agents that are capable of executing cross-chain crypto swaps and offline settlements with crypto on behalf of users.
AEON is supported across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Tron, offering interoperability across chains.
The platform has grown into one of the largest payment settlement networks that leverages QR codes and bank transfers. It has onboarded over 20 million merchants and serves more than 200,000 users.
According to AEON, its AI-powered and Web3 mobile payment solutions have processed approximately 994,000 transactions and more than $29 million in volume, connecting over 50 million real-world merchants to the digital asset economy.
Expanding Real-World Crypto Utility in Emerging Economies
The collaboration between AEON and X-Layer aims to bring blockchain technology closer to everyday users by making on-chain assets spendable in the real world.
By expanding access to QR-based crypto payments, the partnership aims to create an alternative payment infrastructure for emerging economies, including Africa, where a significant portion of the population is unbanked and are unable to participate in the financial economy.
