According to The Block, the AI settlement layer AEON has completed an $8 million Pre-Seed round of financing, led by YZi Labs, with participation from IDG Capital, HashKey Capital, Stanford Blockchain Builders Fund, and Oak Grove Ventures. The structure of this financing round and the post-investment valuation have not been disclosed. AEON plans to use the funds from this round to develop a settlement layer aimed at supporting interactions between AI agents.
AEON launched its first AI payment product in May, enabling AI agents to connect with over 50 million physical merchants worldwide. In addition, AEON has partnered with BNB Chain to launch a product called x402 Facilitator, which is natively built on BNB Chain infrastructure, providing verifiable transactions, on-chain settlements, and tamper-proof receipts for service providers within the BNB ecosystem.
