The collaboration brings AEON’s scan-to-pay capability to X Layer, allowing for real-world cryptocurrency payments in Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America, according to a Tuesday (Dec. 30) news release. Through this integration, users can now pay with X Layer-based assets at online and offline merchants, unlocking new use cases such as in-store retail, dining, convenience shopping, and local services by scanning the QR codes displayed at merchants, the release said.

AEON’s settlement infrastructure already connects to over 50 million merchants across the emerging markets, with expansion into additional African and Latin American markets underway. AEON’s Web3 mobile crypto payment solution is also now embedded into OKX Pay, the payment wallet that is part of the OKX mobile app. Users in supported regions can access AEON’s scan-to-pay tool right from OKX, using X Layer tokens to carry out real-world transactions.

“This unified integration gives X Layer users frictionless payment options across multiple environments, bridging Web3 wallets and real-world spending,” the release said.
