OKX Onchain OS Unveils APP Standard for AI Agent Payments

According to OKX, the Agent Payments Protocol adds escrow, negotiation, verification, settlement, and dispute resolution to support AI agent commerce on Onchain OS.

Fact Check
The claim is strongly supported by OKX-controlled material. The official OKX Onchain OS page titled "功能与服务 #" describes APP as the open payment standard behind Onchain OS payments and shows it supports escrow and other payment modes for agent commerce. Star Xu’s Post is the clearest primary-source statement: it explicitly says APP lets AI agents handle complete business workflows including negotiation, pricing, payments, escrow, and dispute resolution. The x post 2049595231222243405 independently corroborates that OKX positioned APP as covering the full AI business cycle from offers/quotes to disputes. The only slight caveat is that the exact phrase "contracts" is not quoted verbatim in the strongest source available here, but the overall claimed scope is well supported.
