MoonPay Launches PayBox
MoonPay, a payments infrastructure company for crypto and traditional currencies, has launched PayBox, a new type of payments wallet that enables AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT to execute transactions. Users can manage digital assets and pay for online services directly within chat interfaces.
Upon request, AI can perform actions such as purchasing PYUSD, swapping tokens, cross-chain transfers, funding DeFi protocols, and booking flights. Users confirm each transaction with an access key before it is processed.
PayBox initially supports Solana and EVM-based blockchains like Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Hyperliquid, Tempo, and Robinhood Chain, with plans to add more networks. It can store both crypto wallets and payment cards.
Security is provided via MPC (Multi-Party Computation) technology and secure execution environments, ensuring no single party—including MoonPay or the AI assistant—has full access to user assets.
The wallet offers two permission modes: "Always Ask," requiring manual approval for each action, and "Autonomous," where AI can execute transactions within user-set limits. Permissions can be altered or revoked anytime.
PayBox is built on technology from Sodot, a secure wallet solutions provider acquired by MoonPay earlier this year. This infrastructure reportedly secures over $50 billion in digital assets across more than 10 million wallets.
