MoonPay Unveils Open Wallet Standard for AI Agents

MoonPay, a leading crypto payments firm, has made a significant step forward in AI-native crypto tooling with the release of the Open Wallet Standard (OWS). This open-source standard enables AI agents to securely hold assets, sign transactions, and make payments across multiple networks without exposing private keys.

The OWS is designed to act as a universal infrastructure, allowing agents to use a single wallet across protocols and chains. It supports multiple blockchain ecosystems, including Ethereum-compatible networks, Solana, Bitcoin, and others.

MoonPay's CEO, Ivan Soto-Wright, noted that the agent economy has payment rails but lacked a wallet standard until now. The OWS is not competing with existing protocols but rather makes them more valuable by providing a common wallet to call upon.
