AEON, a rapidly expanding Web3 payment and settlement platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Dash to integrate $DASH payments into its global merchant network. This collaboration enables users to spend Dash for both online and offline purchases through AEON Pay, AEON's mobile payment solution. The integration is now live, marking a significant step in Dash's mission to function as practical "digital cash" for everyday transactions.
The system allows consumers to pay at physical stores by scanning a QR code, while merchants receive settlement in their local fiat currency, shielding them from cryptocurrency volatility. AEON's network currently spans over 50 million offline merchants across key regions including Southeast Asia, Nigeria, Mexico, Brazil, Georgia, and Peru, with plans for further expansion into Africa and Latin America.
Accessibility is broadened through AEON Pay's availability on multiple channels. Users can access the service via the AEON Pay Telegram Mini App and through integrations with major wallets and platforms such as Binance Wallet, OKX Wallet, Bitget Wallet, TokenPocket, KuCoin Pay, Bybit, and Solana Pay.
Beyond traditional commerce, the partnership extends into the future of autonomous transactions. AEON's support for emerging AI payment standards like x402 and ERC-8004 paves the way for $DASH to be used as a settlement asset for AI agents, automated services, and machine-to-machine payments.
AEON's infrastructure continues to grow, having processed approximately one million transactions totaling over $29 million in volume for more than 1.74 million users. The platform was recently selected for BNB Chain's Most Valuable Builder Season 10, reinforcing its role in bridging blockchain assets with real-world economic activity. This Dash integration solidifies AEON's position at the forefront of practical crypto payments and next-generation AI commerce.
