BNB Chain has integrated AEON’s innovative x402 Facilitator, enabling secure and autonomous artificial intelligence-powered payments. 

The milestone comes as the broader AI market witnesses greater adoption, including in AI agents and autonomous software.

BNB Chain’s rollout of the x402 payment standard allows the blockchain network to accelerate deployment in real-world AI commerce, AEON said in a press release.

The integration adds to BNB Chain’s latest collaboration. After joining forces with Chainlink recently, the other new big move involved Ondo Finance.

On Wednesday, Ondo announced the expansion of its Ondo Global Markets to the BNB Chain, bringing more than 100 tokenized stocks and ETFs to the BNB-powered blockchain ecosystem.

AEON’s x402 Facilitator launches on BNB Chain

Crypto payment framework AEON’s official launch of the x402 Facilitator on BNB Chain follows a close collaboration between the two platforms.

The native support is a major step in the adoption of autonomous AI-driven transactions, the firms said.

x402 is a crypto payment standard designed to enable automated micropayments via stablecoins.

It targets AI agents, with the solution helping to remove the need for human intermediaries or accounts.

Rather, the framework allows for instant, programmable payments. 

In this case, the x402 Facilitator is designed to standardize autonomous payments by merging AI decision-making logic with on-chain verification and smart contract execution, ensuring every transaction is secure, transparent, and verifiable in real time. 

“With this launch, AEON extends its mission to make autonomous, verifiable AI payments a foundational layer of the agentic commerce and economy,” AEON noted via the news release.

What does this bring?

At its core, the Facilitator implements the x402 payment protocol directly on BNB Chain, offering native support for stablecoin-based AI transactions. 

This allows AI agents to validate payments for authenticity and compliance before confirming them on the blockchain, generating immutable receipts that include the agent’s unique identity in line with standards like ERC-8004. 

Such features create a tamper-proof audit trail, enhancing accountability and facilitating reconciliation in complex AI-driven scenarios.

Importantly for the community, the integration paves the way for AI agents to easily interact with millions of service providers across the BNB Chain ecosystem. 

“As x402 emerges as the bridge between intelligence and payments, powering a projected $30T AI commerce wave—AEON, an early builder on x402, is proud to keep pushing real-world AI payments into reality,” AEON recently posted on X.

Who will benefit?

Developers, enterprises, and users can now incorporate instant, autonomous payment capabilities into their AI systems, supporting production-level scalability and transparency essential for the agentic commerce landscape. 

Users can tap into AEON’s suite of products, including web3 mobile payment, online web3 payment, and Swap Pay.

The cross-chain crypto payment infrastructure supports EVM, SVM, and TON.
