What non-custodial wallets, stablecoins, on-ramps, bridges and the rest mean, in plain words, and where each one is put to work on Moove.
Agentic payments
Payments an AI agent sets up or carries out on someone’s behalf, within the limits they set. The Moove Agent skill lets AI coding tools build a crypto checkout from one prompt.Learn more: Agentic Payments
Blockchain network
A public ledger, such as Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin or Tron, that records who owns what. The same token can exist on several networks, and it has to be bridged to move from one to another.Learn more: Swap & Bridge
Bridge (cross-chain bridge)
A way to move tokens from one blockchain network to another, such as USDC from Ethereum to Solana. Moove finds the route for you and charges 0.02%, plus network fees.Learn more: Swap & Bridge
Cross-border payment
Money sent from one country to another. Through banks it can take days and pass through several intermediaries; as a stablecoin it moves on a blockchain network, often in minutes and on any day.Learn more: Send Money
Crypto payment gateway
A service that lets a business accept crypto payments online and settles them to the business, often converted into a stablecoin. Moove’s gateway settles to the business’s own wallet.Learn more: Crypto Payment Gateway
Crypto username (@handle)
A short name that stands in for a wallet address, so people can pay you at @yourname. A Moove Handle takes payment on every network Moove supports and settles to the wallet you choose.Learn more: Moove Handle
Custodial wallet
A wallet where a company, such as an exchange, holds the keys and your money for you. It can reset a forgotten password, but it can also pause withdrawals or freeze an account.Learn more: Moove Wallet
Digital dollar
A plain name for a US dollar stablecoin such as USDC or USDT: a dollar balance you hold in your own wallet and can send anywhere, at any hour.Learn more: Moove Wallet
EURC
A euro stablecoin issued by Circle, redeemable one for one for euros, for holding and sending euros on blockchains such as Ethereum and Solana.Learn more: Swap & Bridge
EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine)
The software that runs Ethereum’s smart contracts. Networks built on it, such as Base, Arbitrum, Polygon and BNB Chain, are called EVM-compatible and share one address format.Learn more: Moove Wallet
Gas fee (network fee)
What a blockchain network charges to process a transaction. It varies with the network and how busy it is, and it goes to the network, never to Moove.Learn more: Send Money
KYC (Know Your Customer)
The identity check a regulated financial service runs before it handles your money, usually an ID document and a selfie. On Moove it’s needed only for Moove Ramp, not to send, receive, swap or bridge.Learn more: On-ramp & Off-ramp
Mobile money
Money held and sent through a mobile phone account rather than a bank, such as M-Pesa, widely used across Africa. It is a common way to buy and sell stablecoins where bank accounts are less common.Learn more: On-ramp & Off-ramp
Multi-chain wallet
One wallet that holds money on several blockchain networks, such as Ethereum, Solana and Bitcoin, under one recovery phrase. Moove Wallet covers 30+ networks.Learn more: Moove Wallet
Non-custodial wallet
A crypto wallet where only you hold the private keys, so no company can move, freeze or lose your money for you. The trade-off is responsibility: if you lose your recovery phrase, no one can restore access. Moove Wallet is non-custodial.Learn more: Moove Wallet
Off-ramp
The reverse of an on-ramp: turning crypto or stablecoins back into local money, paid to your bank or mobile money account.Learn more: On-ramp & Off-ramp
On-ramp
A way to turn local money into crypto or stablecoins, by bank transfer, card or another local method. Moove Ramp is Moove’s on-ramp and off-ramp, from 0.10%.Learn more: On-ramp & Off-ramp
Payment link
A link that asks for a set amount, which the payer opens to pay without needing your wallet address. Moove Payment Links settle the exact amount, in the token you choose.Learn more: Payment Links
Private key
The secret that signs transactions and proves you own a wallet’s money. A wallet derives it from your recovery phrase and keeps it on your device; whoever holds it can spend the money.Learn more: Moove Wallet
Recovery phrase (seed phrase)
A list of 12 or 24 words that rebuilds a wallet and every key in it on any device. Anyone who has it controls the money, so write it down, keep it offline and never share it. Moove Wallet uses a 12-word phrase.Learn more: Moove Wallet
Self-custody
Holding your own crypto rather than leaving it with a company: your keys, on your device. A self-custody wallet is another name for a non-custodial wallet.Learn more: Moove Wallet
Settlement
The moment a payment is final and the money is the recipient’s to use. Card payments can take days to settle and can be disputed; a stablecoin payment settles once the network confirms it.Learn more: Payments
Slippage
The difference between the price shown for a swap and the price you actually get, caused by the market moving or too little liquidity. A slippage limit stops the swap if the price moves too far.Learn more: Swap & Bridge
Stablecoin
A cryptocurrency designed to hold a steady value, usually one US dollar, backed by reserves such as cash and short-term government bonds. Stablecoins let money move on blockchains without crypto’s price swings.Learn more: Send Money
Stablecoin treasury
A business’s reserves held in stablecoins rather than only in a bank account, so they can be moved, converted or paid out at any hour. Moove Business keeps them in a wallet the business controls.Learn more: Treasury
Token swap
Exchanging one token for another, such as USDT for USDC, straight from your wallet rather than through an exchange account. On Moove a swap costs 0.02%, plus network fees.Learn more: Swap & Bridge
USDC
A US dollar stablecoin issued by Circle, redeemable one for one for dollars and available on many networks, including Ethereum, Solana and Base.Learn more: Send Money
USDT
A US dollar stablecoin issued by Tether, widely used for payments and trading on networks such as Tron and Ethereum.Learn more: Send Money
Wallet address
The long string of letters and numbers that identifies a wallet on one blockchain network, used to send it money. A typo or the wrong network can lose a payment, which is why names such as a Moove Handle exist.Learn more: Moove Handle
Webhook
An automatic message one system sends another when something happens, such as a payment link being paid. The Moove API sends signed webhooks, so your server can check they came from Moove.Learn more: Moove API
