The MoonPay team introduced an interface that allows autonomous AI agents to access crypto wallets and funds to conduct transactions independently.
MoonPay, a global cryptocurrency payments operator, announced the launch of MoonPay Agents, a non-custodial software layer that enables AI agents to manage digital assets on their own.
MoonPay Agents is built on the MoonPay CLI developer-focused command-line interface. The solution allows AI systems to create and manage non-custodial wallets stored on the user’s device, fund them via MoonPay’s global on-ramp channels, and programmatically execute transactions on blockchain networks.
According to Ivan Soto-Wright, Founder and CEO of MoonPay, AI agents are capable of making decisions, but without financial infrastructure, they can’t participate in the economy. The company provides a bridge between AI infrastructure and the payment ecosystem, using cryptocurrency as the fastest way to move funds.
MoonPay Agents functionality includes:
- receiving bank transfers via virtual accounts in the U.S., EU, and U.K.;
- accepting payments through Apple Pay, Venmo, and PayPal;
- converting between fiat and crypto-assets via CLI;
- setting up recurring payments to automatically fund agent wallets;
- executing cross-chain swaps;
- implementing trading strategies and automated real-time operations;
- supporting the x402 standard for payments, with no human input required.
MoonPay integrates into workflows through CLI, API, and infrastructure layers, providing financial rails for trading, gaming, commercial, and treasury AI agents. When verification is required, a one-time KYC by the user is sufficient, after which the agent can operate independently.
Recently, MoonPay also introduced cross-chain tools for fast, scalable, and secure corporate stablecoin deployments.
