OKX has launched the Agent Payments Protocol (APP), an open standard designed to facilitate the entire business cycle between AI agents, including payments, negotiation, and settlement. While the current SDK supports payments on OKX's X Layer and other chains, features like escrow and dispute resolution are planned for the future. The protocol sparks a debate on whether settlement should occur within an exchange, introducing counterparty risk, or through a trust-minimized mechanism like hash time-locked contracts for atomic settlement.
