What it does

Moonpay Hardware Wallet is an agent skill from moonpay/skills. Connect a hardware wallet (Ledger) to the MoonPay CLI. Sign transactions on the physical device — no private keys stored locally.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Ethereum and Solana. The repository describes itself as: Skills for AI agents to move money — on-ramps, swaps, wallets, deposits, and more via the MoonPay CLI. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/moonpay-hardware-wallet”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. wallet hardware add connects via USB, switches Ledger apps automatically, and derives addresses
  2. Addresses are cached in the encrypted vault — read-only commands work without the device
  3. For signing commands, the CLI connects to the device, opens the correct app, and prompts for on-device approval
  4. The device signs the transaction — the private key never leaves the hardware
  5. The CLI broadcasts the signed transaction

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa672ab. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Moonpay Hardware Wallet loads about 913 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 351 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~913

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Hardware wallet support

Goal

Connect a hardware wallet to the MoonPay CLI. Private keys never leave the device — the CLI stores only cached addresses. All existing commands (swap, transfer, bridge, buy, balance) work transparently with hardware wallets.

First supported device: Ledger (Nano S, Nano X, Nano S Plus, Stax, Flex).

Prerequisites

  • Ledger device connected via USB
  • Ledger Live installed (for firmware updates)
  • Ethereum and/or Solana apps installed on the device

Commands

Add a hardware wallet
bash
# Auto-detect connected device
mp wallet hardware add --name "my-ledger"

# Specify device type explicitly
mp wallet hardware add --name "my-ledger" --device ledger

This connects to the device, derives addresses for all supported chains (Ethereum, Solana), and saves the wallet. No secrets are stored — only addresses.

Refresh addresses
bash
mp wallet hardware refresh --wallet "my-ledger"

Re-derives addresses from the connected device. Use this if you changed the account index in Ledger Live or need to update cached addresses.

List wallets
bash
mp wallet list

Hardware wallets appear alongside software wallets with a [hardware/ledger] tag.

Using hardware wallets

Once added, use --wallet like any other wallet. The CLI automatically connects to the device for signing.

Check balances (no device needed)
bash
mp token balance list --wallet my-ledger --chain ethereum
mp token balance list --wallet my-ledger --chain solana
Swap tokens (signs on device)
bash
mp token swap \
  --wallet my-ledger --chain ethereum \
  --from-token 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 \
  --from-amount 0.01 \
  --to-token 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48

The CLI prompts you to review and confirm the transaction on your Ledger.

Transfer tokens (signs on device)
bash
mp token transfer \
  --wallet my-ledger --chain ethereum \
  --token 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 \
  --amount 0.01 \
  --to 0x1234...
Bridge cross-chain (signs on device)
bash
mp token bridge \
  --from-wallet my-ledger --from-chain ethereum \
  --from-token 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 \
  --from-amount 0.01 \
  --to-chain polygon \
  --to-token 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

How it works

  1. wallet hardware add connects via USB, switches Ledger apps automatically, and derives addresses
  2. Addresses are cached in the encrypted vault — read-only commands work without the device
  3. For signing commands, the CLI connects to the device, opens the correct app, and prompts for on-device approval
  4. The device signs the transaction — the private key never leaves the hardware
  5. The CLI broadcasts the signed transaction

Supported chains

  • Ethereum (+ all EVM: Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB, Avalanche)
  • Solana
  • Bitcoin and Tron are not supported via Ledger

Tips

  • The device must be unlocked and on the home screen when connecting
  • App switching is automatic — no need to manually open Ethereum or Solana apps
  • If signing times out, check the Ledger screen for a pending approval prompt
  • wallet export is not available for hardware wallets (there are no secrets to export)
  • moonpay-auth — Set up the CLI and manage software wallets
  • moonpay-swap-tokens — Swap or bridge tokens
  • moonpay-check-wallet — Check wallet balances
