Powering the next generation of crypto trading and commerce.
MoonPay is one of the world’s leading crypto infrastructure companies, providing seamless fiat-to-crypto payment solutions for millions of users across 160+ countries. As the platform expanded into advanced trading and wealth management features, Y Interval partnered with MoonPay to design and develop a new suite of AI-powered trading tools, including copy trading, automated insights, and a robust backend architecture built for speed, scalability, and compliance.
With rapid user growth and increasing demand for smarter investment tools, MoonPay needed to evolve from a payments gateway into a full-scale crypto trading ecosystem. Their existing backend, while powerful, wasn’t optimized for the complexity of real-time AI analytics and high-frequency trading operations. Additionally, introducing copy trading — where users can automatically mirror the moves of top-performing traders — required an entirely new layer of data modeling, latency management, and security infrastructure. The challenge was to build all of this without disrupting MoonPay’s existing user experience or global operations.
Y Interval assembled a dedicated engineering team to work hand-in-hand with MoonPay’s product leads and data scientists. We built a modular backend architecture in Python (FastAPI) and Node.js, capable of processing thousands of trades per second with minimal latency. Our team integrated AI-powered trade signal generation using large language and predictive models trained on anonymized historical data. These models identify trends, recommend trades, and optimize user portfolios in real time. We also implemented a secure, multi-layer copy trading system, allowing users to follow verified traders while maintaining full custody of their assets. To ensure scalability, we deployed the entire infrastructure on AWS with containerized services using Docker and Kubernetes, complete with automated monitoring and recovery systems.
