MetaMask launches a self-custody Ethereum wallet for AI agents, Agent Wallet

According to The Block, MetaMask has launched a non-custodial wallet for AI agents called Agent Wallet, which will support automated trading, perpetual contracts, prediction markets, and liquidity provision on the Ethereum ecosystem and multiple EVM chains and Hyperliquid.

Consensys stated that the wallet features mandatory trade simulation, user-defined spending limits, and whitelist rules, and integrates with Blockaid to scan for suspicious transactions. If risks are triggered, user confirmation will be required through 2FA push notifications or email.

Eligible and deemed safe transactions will receive up to $10,000 in compensation under MetaMask Transaction Protection. The product is currently available to a limited number of users via command line, with general availability expected for more users this summer.
