MoonPay launched PayBox, a self-custodial wallet that lets an AI assistant like ChatGPT or Claude pay for real goods and services on your behalf.

You add PayBox to the assistant, fund it from a bank or with crypto, then just ask it in plain English to buy something or book a table. The agent pays from your own wallet, staying inside limits you set, such as capping purchases or requiring your approval first.

PayBox runs on the open x402 payment standard, so it is not locked to MoonPay or any single merchant. Early uses include Amazon orders, Resy reservations and Brij flight bookings. MoonPay pitches it as an open-rails alternative to the walled AI-payment tools from Robinhood, Coinbase and Visa. MoonPay itself has no token.
