MoonPay is excited to announce our partnership with Helius, an enterprise-grade Solana development platform offering best-in-class RPCs, APIs, and data-streaming tools. 

With this newly-deployed technology to our SOL infrastructure, MoonPay’s global community will benefit from:

  • Lightning-fast transactions: Staked URLs on the Helius infrastructure supercharge Apple transaction speeds for everyone.
  • Priority fees unlocked: Helius’ priority fee API ensures rock-solid reliability for SOL transactions across all payment methods.
  • Quicker withdrawals: Matching times now take just seconds—up to 100x faster than before.

To date, MoonPay has seen a 1,005% increase in SOL transactions YoY. 

“2024 has been a record-breaking year for Solana activity on MoonPay, and we’re thrilled to keep improving the transaction experience for users,” said MoonPay co-founder and CEO, Ivan Soto-Wright. “As we continue investing in the Solana ecosystem, enabling frictionless payments remains a top priority.” 

Helius improvements will enhance Solana transactions across MoonPay’s entire ecosystem and will be fully rolled out this week.
