About MoonPay

We’re here to onboard the world to Web3. We think Web3 is a unique and democratising technology. It gives people back control of their money, digital identity, data, and property like nothing else before it.

What we do

We’re the leading infrastructure company in Web3. This means we offer our partners everything from payment solutions (we call them 'Ramps') to minting software for digital collectibles, like NFTs. Over 30 million people around the world now trust our products.

We’re also big on collaborations and have worked on stunts, drops, and partnerships with some of the world’s most prestigious and forward-thinking brands. We have built our own consumer app because we wanted to see if we could build a better Web3 account. It’s taken off in a big way, and we’re working hard to continually improve it and strive for perfection.
