Crypto payments are edging closer to everyday shopping, and mobile is becoming the proving ground.
MoonPay has rolled out a new shopping app built exclusively for Solana Mobile’s Seeker smartphone, turning the device into a place not just to hold crypto, but to spend it with ease.
The MoonPay Commerce App allows Solana Seeker users to browse online stores and complete purchases with cryptocurrency in a single, smooth flow.
Rather than switching between apps or payment tools, users can discover merchants and pay directly within the app using MoonPay Commerce and Solana Pay, including at checkout on Shopify-powered stores.
The aim is simplicity.
Open the app, explore brands that accept crypto, and pay in a familiar mobile experience.
There are no extra platforms, extensions or workarounds, removing a common barrier that has held back crypto payments from wider use.
At launch, the app features a curated directory of businesses and creators already accepting crypto.
Alongside crypto-native names, the list includes more familiar brands such as Fortune Media, Pudgy Penguins and Doodles, signalling a broader push beyond niche audiences.
The directory continues to expand, with merchants spanning media, fashion, digital collectibles, lifestyle and consumer goods.
By putting discovery front and centre, MoonPay is addressing a long-standing issue for crypto users: knowing where their digital assets can actually be spent.
To mark the debut, participating merchants are offering exclusive discounts and rewards to Solana Seeker users who complete purchases through the MoonPay Commerce App.
These offers are designed to encourage genuine usage rather than passive downloads, rewarding users for spending crypto in real transactions.
For merchants and creators, the incentives also open up new ways to reach and engage crypto-savvy customers, particularly those already embedded in the Solana ecosystem.
The Commerce App has been built specifically for Solana Mobile’s second-generation smartphone, the Seeker.
Unlike conventional phones, Seeker is designed with crypto activity and decentralised apps built into the core mobile experience.
Security is handled through hardware-based solutions such as Seed Vault, allowing users to manage keys and payments with added protection.
By embedding MoonPay Commerce directly into the phone’s discovery flow, Seeker shifts from being a crypto management device to a platform where digital assets are actively used.
Solana Mobile began shipping Seeker devices in August, following its first crypto phone, Saga.
The newer model offers upgraded hardware and deeper integration of blockchain features, reflecting Solana’s belief that mobile will play a central role in the future of crypto adoption.
The Seeker app launch fits into MoonPay’s wider strategy to make crypto payments practical for daily use.
MoonPay Commerce already supports more than 6,000 partners worldwide, helping merchants, creators and developers accept crypto quickly and securely.
That strategy was reinforced earlier with MoonPay’s US$175 million acquisition of Helio, a well-known Solana-based payments service.
The deal strengthened MoonPay’s presence on Solana and expanded its tools for merchants and creators looking to accept digital assets without complexity.
By moving crypto payments from browsers and extensions directly into a mobile shopping app, MoonPay is aiming to meet users where they already spend time — on their phones.
The partnership between MoonPay and Solana Mobile reflects a growing trend towards mobile-first crypto solutions.
Solana Mobile is preparing a major launch season for Seeker, supported by strong pre-orders and interest linked to potential token airdrops, highlighting how tightly hardware, apps and incentives are now connected in the crypto space.
Elsewhere in the ecosystem, investment continues to flow into payment-focused projects built on Solana.
Last month, Fin raised US$17 million in Series A funding to develop a stablecoin-powered payments platform aimed at improving transaction efficiency, underlining rising confidence in Solana’s role in payments infrastructure.
Together, these developments point to a clear direction: crypto is being shaped less as a speculative asset and more as a usable form of money.
With the MoonPay Commerce App, Solana Seeker users now have a clearer path from holding crypto to spending it, all from a single device.
