In brief

  • MetaMask has launched Agent Wallet, a self-custodial wallet designed for AI-powered crypto trading.
  • Users can set spending limits, allowlist protocols, and choose security settings before agents execute transactions.
  • The wallet includes transaction simulation, threat scanning, MEV protection, and gas abstraction for supported transactions.

MetaMask on Thursday launched Agent Wallet, a self-custodial wallet that lets AI agents execute on-chain transactions within user-defined restrictions, expanding the company's push into AI-powered crypto trading.

According to MetaMask, the wallet is aimed at traders and developers using AI agents to monitor markets, identify opportunities, and execute transactions autonomously.

However, rather than giving an AI agent unrestricted access to a wallet, users can set spending caps, approve specific protocols, choose risk settings, and select between "Guard Mode" and "Beast Mode," which offer different levels of automation. (Disclosure: MetaMask is a product of Consensys, one of numerous investors in an editorially independent Decrypt.)

Agent Wallet supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes, and OpenCode, along with Hyperliquid and Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible networks. It also supports gas abstraction, allowing users to pay network fees with the asset being transferred instead of holding a network's native token.
