Hardware wallet maker Ledger now supports secure transaction signing for MoonPay’s AI agents. The integration allows users to manually approve trades, swaps, and transfers initiated by their autonomous agents on Ledger devices. This move addresses security concerns as AI agents gain traction in cryptocurrency management, providing a human verification layer for automated financial actions.
Ledger has added hardware wallet support for MoonPay Agents, allowing users to verify and sign transactions initiated by their deployed AI agents. The company announced the integration, which routes agent-generated trades and transfers through a secure signer requiring manual approval.
This development comes as the crypto industry embraces autonomous AI agents for managing digital assets. The Ledger integration provides a security layer for these automated systems, which can be susceptible to exploits.
“The Ledger integration is just the beginning. We plan to support additional hardware wallets and look forward to collaborating with more partners across the ecosystem,” MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright said. “Any developer building an agent that needs to move value can plug MoonPay in as the financial rail.”
MoonPay Agents support Ledger Nano S Plus, Nano X, and other recent device models. The agents can detect and interact with wallets on multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, and Base.
Automatic Ledger app switching lets an agent move across different blockchain networks. All swaps and transfers are routed through the Ledger signer for on-device user approval.
“There is a new wave of CLI and agent-centric wallets emerging, and these will need Ledger security as a feature, too,” Ledger Chief Experience Officer Ian Rogers stated. AI agents are being developed by companies like Eliza Labs and Fetch AI for autonomous asset management.
MoonPay launched its Agents software in February to give AI systems access to crypto wallets. However, security remains a concern as agents can be vulnerable to cyber attacks like prompt injection.
“Today, most agents with wallets just have a private key sitting on disk somewhere, and you’re already seeing those wallets get exploited, or people lose access when agents make mistakes,” Erik Reppel, head of engineering for Coinbase Developer Platform, noted previously. The Ledger integration aims to mitigate these risks.
