MoonPay Releases Open Wallet Standard for AI Agents

MoonPay has released the Open Wallet Standard (OWS), an open-source framework that enables AI agents to interact with wallets securely and uniformly. The standard defines how AI agents should create wallets, manage keys, sign transactions, and interact with blockchain networks without exposing private keys.

The OWS supports transactions across multiple chains, including EVM-compatible chains, Solana, Bitcoin, TON, Tron, Sui, and others. It has been endorsed by over 15 organizations, including PayPal, OKX, Ripple, Circle, the Ethereum Foundation, and the Solana Foundation.

The contributor list suggests that the standard has a high chance of becoming the default rather than just another open-source project. The adoption of OWS could accelerate the growth of the agent economy, which is projected to grow from $5.1B in 2025 to $55.2B by 2035.
