Binance Pay has launched AI agent payments for real-world services, beginning with hotel bookings through Travala. The rollout uses the Binance x402 infrastructure and lets users pre-authorize USDT payments from self-custody wallets, after which an AI agent can complete the booking without additional confirmation. Transactions are settled on BNB Smart Chain, while Binance Pay handles execution and covers network fees, removing the need for users to enter banking details or manage gas fees.
The integration gives Travala users access to more than 2.2 million accommodations. Customers authorize the payment, specify destination and travel dates, and select accommodation; the agent then finishes the booking. The protocol uses an EIP-712 Permit2 authorization, verifies the signature, and checks the available balance, wallet permissions, and transaction parameters. Once settlement completes, a receipt is recorded on-chain.
Eligible first-time bookings through Travala’s AI agent can earn 7% cashback in BNB, while qualifying AVA Smart members can earn an additional 3% in AVA. The promotion applies to bookings of at least $400 under applicable terms. The feature is part of Binance Agent Pay, with BNB Chain providing the Machine Payments Protocol software development kit. Binance says it plans to expand the service to other travel products and additional digital and commercial services.
