MetaMask Unveils Agent Wallet for AI-Powered DeFi Transactions

MetaMask has made a significant move in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) by launching a self-custodial wallet that allows artificial intelligence agents to transact across DeFi protocols. The Agent Wallet is designed to operate within user-defined spending and security controls, ensuring that transactions are secure and compliant with predefined rules.

The wallet supports a range of features, including token swaps, perpetual futures trading, prediction markets, and liquidity provision across Ethereum-compatible networks and Hyperliquid. Transactions initiated by AI agents are screened through multiple systems, including transaction simulation, threat detection, and MEV protection, before execution.

META MASK said that transactions deemed safe by its security systems are covered by up to $10,000 in loss protection. The wallet is currently available to a limited group of users through an early access program, with broader availability planned later this summer.
