OKX has introduced an Agent Payments Protocol, an open standard for AI agents to handle transactions, which includes partners like Uniswap and Solana. The protocol aims to facilitate quoting, negotiation, escrow, settlement, and dispute resolution for AI commerce. The author argues that while escrow is an improvement over naive payment methods by adding a custodian, it still relies on trust and arbitration, unlike atomic settlement mechanisms like Hash-Time-Locked Contracts (HTLCs) which use cryptography to ensure trades are either fully completed or entirely failed without intermediaries.
