Your AI Agent’s Gateway to Real-World Spending
The problem AEON Commerce Agent solves
AEON AI Payment solves a critical gap in the convergence of AI agents and real-world commerce: AI agents today cannot complete payments autonomously across chains or to real-world merchants.
Despite the rise of intelligent agents that can plan, search, and make recommendations, they still rely on manual user intervention to execute purchases. This bottleneck prevents full agent autonomy and limits real-life automation use cases.
AEON AI Payment enables:
• 🤖 Agent-initiated transactions — AI agents can perform crypto payments on behalf of users to merchants like Apple, Agoda, KFC, and more.
• 🌐 Cross-chain support — Works across EVM, SVM, and TVM ecosystems, removing blockchain silos.
• 🧾 Simplified checkout — Users no longer need to switch wallets, scan QR codes, or manually confirm each step.
• 🛡️ Secure authorization — Every transaction goes through intent verification and identity checks, ensuring safe and user-approved payments.
By removing friction from agent-to-merchant transactions, AEON unlocks a new class of automated commerce applications for both Web3 users and developers.
Challenges I ran into
A key challenge in building AEON AI Payment was ensuring that AI agents could execute payments securely and autonomously, while preserving user intent, identity, and authorization across multiple blockchains.
To solve this, we integrated Coinbase CDP’s AgentKit, a framework designed to enable agents to securely act on behalf of users through signed sessions, identity verification, and intent binding.
This helped us tackle three core problems:
1. How do we verify that an agent is authorized by the user?
2. How do we ensure the agent’s action aligns with the user’s signed intent?
3. How do we make this work across chains like EVM, SVM, and TVM?
While AgentKit provided a strong foundation, it was originally built for Solana-based agent execution, so extending it to AEON’s multi-chain payment system was non-trivial.
We had to:
• Extend AgentKit’s session and intent model to support non-Solana chains
• Build a Node Network that acts as a decentralized validator of agent identity, prompt signature, and real-time payment simulation
• Create a secure handoff mechanism from agent plans to actual on-chain execution, preventing intent drift or misuse
By customizing and expanding the capabilities of Coinbase CDP AgentKit, we were able to build a secure, verifiable, and interoperable agent-payment pipeline that bridges Web3 agents and real-world commerce.
