MagicPay

Problem Statement

MagicPay is an AI-powered crypto-to-fiat bridge that revolutionizes how people send money globally using PYUSD stablecoin. The project addresses the fundamental crypto adoption barrier - the recipient onboarding problem - where crypto holders want to send value but recipients lack the knowledge or tools to interact with crypto directly.🎯 Core Problem Solved: Traditional crypto transfers require both sender and recipient to understand wallets, blockchain networks, and transaction processes. MagicPay eliminates this friction by allowing senders to use crypto while recipients receive familiar bank deposits or email-based claim links.🔄 How It Works: Sender connects their crypto wallet and sends PYUSD to any email address Smart contract escrow securely holds the funds with 30-day timeout protection Recipient receives an email with a claim link - no crypto knowledge required Fern API integration enables direct bank account deposits via hosted forms AI Agent mode allows natural language transactions like "Send $100 PYUSD to mom@email.com for groceries" 🤖 Dual-Mode Experience: Traditional Mode: Classic web interface with forms and buttons for crypto-experienced users Agent Mode: AI-powered conversational interface using natural language for crypto operations 🌍 Global Impact: MagicPay makes crypto accessible to mainstream users by abstracting away blockchain complexity while maintaining security through smart contract escrow and regulatory compliance.
