MoonPay has just introduced PayBox for Solana, a non-custodial payment vault and wallet for the purchase and transfer of tokens by users of Claude and ChatGPT on @solana through natural-language commands. Announced on July 29, the product makes a transaction a job of the AI agent itself, i.e. a computer program, instead of the manual search in exchange sites or browser extensions.

AI Agents Get Solana Wallets

This action unites two of the most popular AI systems with SOL’s ultra-fast blockchain and MoonPay’s payment facilities. PayBox is a safe, non-custodial money vault that AI bots can reach via the user’s allowance.

Instead of navigating through the dashboards, users will simply ask either CLAUDE or CHATGPT to convert tokens, make payments or do SOL DApp interaction. For PayBox, the AI handles key custody with transaction signing.

Solana Opens Trading to AI Users

AI-powered trading accessible to everyone means big things for SOL. Thanks to its low fees and immediate transaction settlement, Solana has become a favorite of consumers and fintech companies integrating its blockchain technology.

The idea of trading within ChatGPT and Claude by PayBox is a genius move since it enables millions of users of the chatbots to interact with SOL without going through the hassle of setting up a Solana account.

This way, Solana opens up a potential new market, one that goes beyond wallets for crypto-native users. It will also result in more people actively using DeFi protocols and buying NFTs, both of which have been major growth drivers for the SOL community in 2026.

How This Will Affect Developers, Institutions, and Regulators

Developers are going to have access to new distribution channels through AI chatbots, whereas financial institutions will probably see the use of voice-activated wallets as a way to get into the compliant and auditable domain of agent transactions.

Regulators will most likely pay a lot of attention to custody, consent and AML checks for payments that are initiated by an AI. Exchanges and wallet providers may have to get used to the idea for providing their services to an AI interface layer over which they have no control.
