Why crypto UX needed a rethink
The hardest part of crypto has never been the technology — it's the interface. Until now, a typical crypto workflow meant juggling a different tool for every action:
Buying on Coinbase or Binance
Holding in MetaMask or Phantom
Swapping on Uniswap or Jupiter
Trading predictions on Polymarket
Tracking portfolios via DeBank or Zapper
Bridging with a different tool for every chain
Each tool has its own UX, its own wallet connection flow, and its own failure modes. Power users spent years learning all of it. Everyone else stayed on the sidelines — not because they didn't want in, but because the cost of entry was too high.
What the MoonPay CLI does
The MoonPay CLI brings every one of those actions into a single conversation with your AI agent. Buying, swapping, bridging, DCA, prediction markets, yield, portfolio tracking, and wallet management — all in plain English, non-custodially, from wherever you already work.
For example, this one prompt:
> "Swap $200 of ETH to SOL and set up a daily DCA of $50 into SOL for the next 30 days."
...executes a swap, sets up a virtual account, and creates a recurring schedule — all confirmed by you, all running in your own wallet.
Note: Each action in a multi-step prompt is presented for your review before execution. The AI plans and proposes — you confirm before anything runs.
Who it's built for
Developers can use the CLI as the crypto layer of any AI project. Instead of integrating six APIs and managing six sets of credentials, you install one package and describe what you need.
Traders can build and manage a full position strategy — DCA, stop loss, price alerts, portfolio rebalancing — in a single conversation, then let it run.
Builders get composable commerce, payments, onramp, and offramp via skills that snap into any MCP-compatible AI assistant. Build once, distribute everywhere.
The broader ecosystem benefits too: every partner that ships a skill — Polymarket, yield.xyz, Dune Analytics, Phantom, D/Flow — becomes accessible through the same interface, one prompt away from millions of AI users.
How skills work
The CLI's composability comes from its skills architecture. Skills are modular extensions, each purpose-built for a specific action or integration. They install like plugins and work immediately inside any supported AI assistant.
There are currently 24 live skills spanning trading, onramp, DCA, prediction markets, yield, data, and wallet management. Each new partner integration adds a skill; each skill adds a capability.

Note: If you can describe what you want to do in a sentence, the CLI can probably do it.
What's coming: agentic finance
The current CLI responds to commands. The next generation will monitor, adapt, and act autonomously within parameters you define. Here's what that looks like in practice:
Volatility-aware DCA — a SOL strategy that detects on-chain volatility spikes and pauses automatically, based on a constraint you described
Autonomous yield rebalancing — a strategy that checks rates across protocols every Sunday and moves toward the best APY without being asked
Auto-hedging — a prediction market portfolio that scans for correlated positions and hedges when exposure gets too concentrated
Real-time memecoin sniping — monitors new launches, applies a signal filter, and buys in under 10 seconds while you're doing something else
Every skill shipped today is a capability your agent picks up automatically as this infrastructure develops.
Important: The autonomous behaviours described here — volatility-aware DCA, autonomous yield rebalancing, auto-hedging — are not current CLI features. Today's CLI responds to your commands and executes with your confirmation.

No. All actions are confirmed by you and executed in your own wallet.
Which AI assistants does it work with?
Which AI assistants does it work with?
The CLI works with any MCP-compatible AI assistant, including Claude.
How do I add new skills?
How do I add new skills?
Skills are added automatically as new partner integrations ship. Once a skill is available, your agent picks it up without any extra setup on your end.
