The new self-custodial wallet enables autonomous AI agents to trade DeFi while offering security features and financial coverage.
MetaMask introduced a self-custodial wallet designed for AI agents, allowing autonomous software to execute trades across decentralized finance platforms. The wallet includes spending limits, protocol allowlists, and two-factor authentication for high-risk transactions to maintain user control over funds.
The product emphasizes security, with every transaction undergoing simulation, threat scanning, and MEV protection. Transactions deemed safe are backed by up to $10,000 in coverage through MetaMask’s Transaction Protection program. The wallet supports swaps, perpetual futures, and liquidity provisioning on Ethereum-compatible blockchains.
The launch follows growing adoption of AI agents in crypto markets, where they manage capital and execute trades on behalf of users. MetaMask is rolling out the wallet through a limited early-access program, with a broader release planned in the coming months.
