MetaMask launched Agent Wallet, a self-custodial wallet enabling AI agents to execute on-chain transactions within user-defined restrictions. Traders and developers can set spending caps, allowlist specific protocols, and choose between Guard Mode and Beast Mode for different levels of automation. The wallet includes transaction simulation, threat scanning, MEV protection, and gas abstraction, allowing users to pay network fees with the transferred asset instead of holding the chain’s native token. MetaMask also offers Transaction Protection coverage of up to $10,000 per month for eligible transactions passing its security checks. This launch positions MetaMask in direct competition with Coinbase’s Agentic Wallets and MoonPay’s MoonAgents platform in the race to build AI agent infrastructure for crypto.
