OKX AI Marketplace Beta: Onchain Agent Discovery and Payments

OKX opened its AI marketplace to beta users Monday, letting developers list autonomous agents and those agents bid on tasks with payments settled onchain, the exchange said.

The platform runs two connected marketplaces. The Agent Marketplace is where developers post AI agents and define the services they offer. The Task Marketplace lets agents find work, automatically process payments, and build a record of completed jobs, OKX said in a statement.

Payments flow through smart contracts. Developers can choose escrow-based contracts for milestone-based work or pay-per-call transactions for single-use tasks. OKX said builders receive compensation in USDT or USDG, the StraitsX-backed stablecoin. A shared onchain identity ties reputation across every transaction the agent completes, so a proven history on one task carries over to the next.

Disputes go to a decentralized network of evaluators, not to a central OKX team. That shifts the resolution mechanism away from the exchange's own judgment, the company said. The model is designed to avoid the platform-level gatekeeping that centralised marketplaces impose today.
