Crypto payments company MoonPay has added Ledger hardware wallet signatures to its command line interface (CLI) wallet for MoonPay Agents, a move the company says solves the security challenges posed by autonomous crypto trading tools.
The new feature allows users to use Ledger hardware devices to verify and sign every transaction generated by an artificial intelligence agent, ensuring that the private key never leaves the hardware signer. MoonPay said the integration makes the CLI wallet the first agent-centric wallet to support Ledger’s secure signatures through the company’s device management suite.
Autonomous crypto agents are a growing class of tools designed to execute trading strategies, rebalance portfolios, and move assets across chains without the need for constant human input. But security concerns have slowed adoption, as many implementations require users to hand over direct access to wallet keys.
“Autonomous agents will manage trillions of dollars in digital assets,” said Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO and founder of MoonPay. “But autonomy without security is reckless. We built MoonPay agents with Ledger so that intelligence can scale without giving up control. Agents perform. Humans stay in the loop.”
Ian Rogers, chief experience officer at Ledger, said the integration reflects the growing number of developer-focused wallets and AI-driven tools entering the crypto space.
“A new wave of CLI and agent-centric wallets are emerging, and these also require Ledger security as a feature,” Rogers said.
