We're excited to announce that MoonAgents, MoonPay's AI assistant, is now live on Telegram, powered by MoonPay.
Telegram is where crypto already lives. Over a billion people use the app, with hundreds of millions opening Telegram every day. Mini apps and trading tools move billions of dollars in volume across the platform. MoonAgents now meets users there directly.
Here's how it works in practice. Type "what's ETH at right now" to your agent on Telegram. It understands the request, prepares the action, and asks for your confirmation before anything executes. No commands. No menus. Just plain English.
This is what sets MoonAgents apart from the trading tools already on Telegram. Most require users to learn specific syntax or navigate layers of menus. MoonAgents flips that model. You describe what you want, and your agent figures out how to do it.
Control stays with the user at every step. Nothing moves without explicit confirmation, and private keys live on the user's own computer. They never touch MoonPay's servers, and they never touch Telegram. Telegram simply becomes a new way to reach the same agent that already runs on the MoonAgents desktop app, with the same wallet and the same capabilities, now accessible from a phone.
To get started, download the MoonAgents desktop app at moonpay.com/agents, then create a bot in Telegram using @BotFather. Copy the bot token it gives you and paste it, along with your Telegram username, into the desktop app to securely link the two. From there, connect your MoonPay account, and start chatting with your agent in Telegram to confirm each action as you go.
With MoonAgents on Telegram, users can check prices and research assets, and monitor portfolio balances.
This launch builds on a broader push to bring MoonAgents wherever people already use AI. The desktop app arrived first, followed by MCP connectors for tools like Claude and Perplexity. Telegram is the next step in that expansion, extending the same agent to mobile reach.
"People shouldn't need to learn special commands to use their own money," said Kevin Arifin, Head of MoonPay Agents. "Now you can just tell your AI assistant what you want to do, right from Telegram, and stay fully in control the whole time."
"MoonAgents on Telegram reflects where we think crypto is heading," said Ivan Soto-Wright, co-founder and CEO of MoonPay. "People want to manage their assets through natural conversation, not by learning new interfaces. Meeting users on Telegram is a natural extension of that vision."
MoonAgents is available on Telegram today. Get started at moonpay.com/agents.
