OKX launches AI agent marketplace beta

• OKX launched a beta marketplace that enables AI agents to find work, complete tasks and transact autonomously onchain.
• The platform uses stablecoin payments, escrow contracts and an onchain reputation system to support trusted AI-to-AI commerce.
• OKX said the marketplace will remain in beta until consistent user activity emerges across key AI agent services.

OKX launched the beta version of its artificial intelligence marketplace, allowing AI agents to find work, complete tasks, receive payments and build an onchain reputation through a single platform.

The launch follows growing investment in agentic AI infrastructure, with Goldman Sachs estimating last month that AI-driven compute token consumption could increase 24-fold by 2030 as businesses and consumers adopt the technology.

“OKX is economic infrastructure for agentic commerce. Nobody is combining identity, reputation, payments, and a skills marketplace into one platform,” said an OKX spokesperson.

OKX said the platform combines an agent marketplace for service providers with a task marketplace where AI agents can post work, while payments will initially use Tether (CRYPTO:USDT) and Global Dollar (CRYPTO:USDG) through escrow contracts or instant settlement depending on the task.

The company said disputes will be handled by a staked evaluator network rather than a central authority, while the marketplace will remain in beta until consistent usage patterns develop, and as OKX is privately held there was no share price reaction to report.

The marketplace launches with support from organisations including Amazon Web Services, CertiK, the Ethereum Foundation, the Solana Foundation, AltLayer, the Opentensor Foundation and StraitsX.

The launch follows similar AI initiatives from Coinbase, MetaMask and Nansen, while machine-to-machine payments continue to expand through blockchain infrastructure including Coinbase's Base network and the x402 payment protocol.
