MoonPay rolls out PayBox to bring crypto wallets and card payments into Claude, ChatGPT and Grok

MoonPay has launched PayBox, a payment vault designed for AI agents that lets users connect wallets and payment cards to assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and, later, Grok. The product went live on July 29 at paybox.sh and is built to keep transactions inside the chat interface, so users can research, compare and authorize purchases without jumping to a separate checkout page. According to MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright, the goal is to let agents hold payment credentials and crypto wallets while preventing any single party from controlling private keys. PayBox supports both card and onchain transactions. MoonPay said agents can initiate card payments without seeing raw card numbers, while crypto wallets can be created or imported and funded either from an existing wallet or through card on-ramps after a one-time identity check. The product launched with support for Solana and several EVM-compatible networks, including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Hyperliquid, Tempo and Robinhood Chain. It also integrates x402, the machine-payment standard originally open-sourced by Coinbase and now governed by the Linux Foundation-backed x402 Foundation. MoonPay said PayBox reached 224,000 signups one day after launch, though that figure was disclosed by the company itself and has not been independently verified. The firm frames PayBox as a non-custodial system built on MPC and TEE infrastructure, partly inherited from its roughly $100 million all-stock acquisition of Israeli key-management company Sodot in April.

PayBox adds Grok integration for conversational payments and on-chain transactions

PayBox has rolled out payment and wallet features for Grok users, letting them use natural-language conversations to have an AI agent carry out transactions, shopping, and payments. According to the official announcement cited by BlockBeats on Sept. 1, PayBox is a payment vault and non-custodial wallet designed to support AI agents in executing transactions securely on Solana, across on-chain ecosystems, and on the open internet. Users can connect PayBox to Grok and, after completing authorization, trigger payment-related functions directly through chat. The setup process includes opening Grok’s Connectors page, selecting "New Connector" and then "Custom," naming the connector PayBox, entering PayBox’s MCP server address, and finishing the add flow. Users then log in and authorize the connection before they can start making transactions through the conversational interface.

MoonPay adds Kamino to PayBox, letting eligible users access Solana lending through AI chat

MoonPay has integrated Solana lending protocol Kamino into its AI payments vault, PayBox, allowing eligible users to carry out token lending or collateralized borrowing on Solana by chatting with ChatGPT or Claude. The company did not launch a new lending product; instead, the integration replaces Kamino’s standard interface with natural-language instructions. Users can require passkey approval for every transaction or let AI act within preset limits. According to DefiLlama, Kamino has about $1.3 billion in total value locked and roughly $1 billion in active loans. MoonPay launched PayBox in July with support for payments, token swaps, cross-chain bridging, and yield access through Aave. By adding Kamino, PayBox is moving beyond AI payments into credit management. The setup also gives AI agents authority to manage user funds, meaning a single instruction can open a leveraged position, which may be liquidated if falling collateral value hits Kamino’s liquidation threshold. The service is not currently available to users in the U.S., UK, EU, or Australia.

MoonPay launches PayBox for crypto payments through AI assistants

MoonPay has introduced PayBox, a non-custodial payment vault that lets users carry out crypto transactions and online purchases through AI assistants including ChatGPT and Claude. The product supports Solana as well as Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible networks, extending its reach across multiple blockchain environments. PayBox works through custom connectors and natural-language commands, allowing users to instruct AI tools to handle specific payment and transaction tasks. To control those permissions, users can set Passkey-based authorization and spending limits. The product also supports a range of use cases beyond basic transfers, including digital asset purchases, cross-chain bridging, and commercial payments such as booking flights and restaurant reservations. For security, private keys are stored using multi-party computation shard storage, according to the report cited by Techub News from crypto.news.

MoonPay launches PayBox, putting a crypto wallet and payments inside Claude and ChatGPT

MoonPay has launched PayBox, a payment vault that connects to Claude and ChatGPT and lets AI agents complete transactions after user approval. The system stores crypto wallets and payment cards in a secure vault, lines up transactions inside the chat flow, and uses a passkey on the user’s device to authorize payment. At launch, PayBox supports restaurant reservations, flight bookings, shopping across major online retailers, token swaps, cross-chain fund transfers, and routing assets into DeFi protocols such as Aave. It starts with support for Solana and seven Ethereum-compatible chains: Ethereum, Hyperliquid, Tempo, Base, Robinhood Chain, Arbitrum, and Polygon. MoonPay also said PayBox works with x402, the open payments protocol developed by Coinbase and later donated to the Linux Foundation, now supported by Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Shopify, AWS, and Anthropic. The infrastructure comes from Sodot, the Israeli key management startup MoonPay acquired in April for roughly $100 million in an all-stock deal. According to MoonPay, wallet keys are split with MPC and stored across TEEs so no single party, including MoonPay or the AI agent, can access a full key or sign on its own.

MoonPay launches PayBox, an AI payments tool that connects with ChatGPT and Claude

MoonPay has rolled out PayBox, a new AI payments tool that can be connected to ChatGPT or Claude, according to The Block. The product is designed to let AI assistants prepare transactions for activities such as booking flights, reserving restaurants, and making online purchases. Users can either require passkey approval for every transaction or set spending limits that allow the AI to complete payments on its own. PayBox combines a crypto wallet with a payment card and supports cross-chain transactions based on the x402 agent payment standard. At launch, it works with Solana and a range of EVM-compatible networks, including Ethereum, Hyperliquid, Tempo, Base, Robinhood Chain, Arbitrum, and Polygon. MoonPay said it plans to add support for more AI platforms and DeFi features, including token swaps and perpetual futures trading, within the next month. The company also said wallet private keys are protected through MPC and TEE, while card information is stored in a way that lets AI agents complete purchases without accessing the underlying card details.
