About Helio
Helio is a Web3 payment platform built on Solana, Ethereum, and Polygon. It lets merchants, dApps, and creators accept crypto payments directly from customers without intermediaries. Core products include Pay Links (shareable payment links), a Checkout Widget for websites, Subscriptions for recurring crypto billing, Deposits for in-app crypto acceptance and swapping, and Solana Pay for Shopify. Helio supports BTC, ETH, SOL, and stablecoins like USDC. It solves problems such as high transaction fees, chargebacks, and slow settlement in traditional payments, while also simplifying crypto checkout for non-technical users.
In the past six months (2026-03-14 to 2026-09-14), Helio has continued to operate as part of MoonPay, which acquired it in January 2025. Development has focused on integrating Helio’s payment infrastructure with MoonPay’s broader ecosystem, particularly in e-commerce, digital goods, and subscriptions. No major negative events were reported during this period, aside from general market volatility affecting crypto adoption.
In the past six months, Helio has continued to operate as an independent brand advancing crypto payment infrastructure after being acquired by MoonPay. The team highlighted MoonPay Commerce's headless payment capabilities: merchants can generate Pay Links via API, and users can complete on-chain signing and settlement without a UI; this is currently primarily on Solana, with expansion to Base, Polygon and other chains. Helio also deepened integrations with Shopify and Discord, supporting subscriptions, auto-conversion and fiat settlement, with cumulative processed volume exceeding $1.5B and 6,000+ merchants. Future focus is deep collaboration with MoonPay: leveraging its global licenses and fiat on/off ramps to provide smoother crypto acquiring, auto-conversion and cross-border settlement; expanding HelioX membership benefits through quarterly rewards and fee discounts. Official statements indicate that as stablecoin adoption and regulatory clarity increase, Helio will focus on the long-term mission of replacing slow, expensive payments with crypto rails, moving from early adopters to mainstream merchants.
Co-founders: Jim Walker (CTO) and Stijn Paumen (CEO). They have worked together for 20 years and previously co-founded ScanSafe and Wandera, exiting both for a combined $600M. In 2022, they founded Helio, a Web3 payments platform. Jim previously served as CIO & VP of Global Operations at Wandera, with a background in fintech and cloud architecture; Stijn is a serial entrepreneur. Helio is now MoonPay Commerce.
