Why APS?
While various protocols like AP2 and ACP exist, the market still lacks a cross-scenario, universal guideline with industry-compliant legal binding.
Universal Standardization
Providing a unified set of payment behavior norms covering B2C (Business-to-Consumer), O2O (Online-to-Offline), A2A (Agent-to-Agent), and more.
Legal & Compliance Entry Barrier
Defining "what is compliant" and providing the basis for legal accountability in cases of violations. This protects both users and developers.
Industry Credibility
Building a recognized authentication system through standardized KYA (Know Your Agent) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) audit mechanisms.
Ecosystem Complementarity
APS is not intended to replace existing implementations like AP2 or ACP. Instead, it serves as a "Compliance Certification Badge," identifying high-quality implementations that meet the standard.
