Key highlights of the expanded collaboration include:
MoonPay Checkout Solution Now Available: MoonPay’s Buy and NFT Checkout solutions are now accessible to projects within the Base ecosystem, including renowned NFT marketplace OpenSea. This integration significantly improves the convenience and efficiency of transactions within the Base network, providing users with a seamless payment experience.
Increasing Accessibility with ETH and USDC On-Ramp Support: MoonPay is expanding its support to provide on-ramp services for Ethereum (ETH) and USDC on the base network, further facilitating accessibility and liquidity for users within the ecosystem.
With more than 90% of Base’s NFT volume settled on OpenSea in the past month alone, this partnership is poised to redefine the Web3 payments landscape and solidify Base’s position as a leading blockchain platform.
“Our comprehensive Base support includes what users and developers value most, increasing the accessibility of our solutions to the hundreds of apps and integrations within the Base ecosystem – including our long-standing partner OpenSea,” said Ivan Soto-Wright, co-founder and CEO of MoonPay.
“By partnering with a trusted, builder-friendly platform like Base, we can continue to improve the overall blockchain experience and drive mass adoption of Web3.”
