MoonPay, the global leader in crypto payments, has launched MoonTags, a new product designed to streamline peer-to-peer crypto transfers across supported blockchains. Functioning like a social media handle, each MoonTag acts as a personalized identifier that enables users to send or receive crypto quickly and without complexity.
MoonTags address the complexities of traditional crypto transactions by introducing an intuitive layer that makes sending and receiving funds feel natural for everyday users.
MoonPay users can tap "Send" or "Request" to initiate a transfer. By searching for a MoonTag, such as @marco, users locate contacts easily. They then enter the amount, select their preferred coin, add an optional personalized message, and complete the transaction instantly. This eliminates the need for copying lengthy wallet addresses or manually selecting blockchains, reducing errors and enhancing user experience.
MoonTags add a human element to crypto interactions, making them suitable for both new users and businesses integrating blockchain solutions. Powered by MoonPay's robust global infrastructure, the feature supports seamless onboarding into the decentralized economy without additional fees for sending or receiving.
"Transferring crypto shouldn't feel like a technical process," said Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO and co-founder of MoonPay. "MoonTags take the guesswork out of sending and receiving funds, making crypto movement feel as natural and intuitive as any modern payments experience."
MoonTags represent a significant step toward mainstream crypto adoption, leveraging MoonPay's established platform to make digital asset transfers as straightforward as everyday payments. With this launch, users worldwide can engage with crypto more confidently, fostering broader participation in the blockchain ecosystem.
MoonPay simplifies access to buy, sell and trade crypto using everyday payment methods like cards, Apple Pay, PayPal and Venmo, while also providing simple tools to send, receive and manage stablecoins.
Whether you are new to digital money or a company exploring new ways to use it, MoonPay provides the trusted infrastructure to onboard users into the blockchain-based financial ecosystem safely and seamlessly.
With nearly 30 million customers and powering the infrastructure for nearly 500 companies across the decentralized economy, MoonPay is a key driver behind mainstream crypto adoption.
