MetaMask Unveils Wallet for the Era of AI Agents
The MetaMask team has launched an early access program for the Agent Wallet, a non-custodial wallet capable of executing operations on behalf of the user. The solution automates interaction with decentralized applications by combining smart account technologies and AI agents. The MetaMask Agent Wallet is here. 🦊Early Access is now live — 200 spots available.👇 pic.twitter.com/1121gaAehN— MetaMask 🦊 (@MetaMask) June 8, 2026 Initially, the wallet supports swaps, perpetual contracts, prediction markets, LP positions, and other DeFi scenarios in EVM networks and Hyperliquid. Users retain control over their keys and can export the seed phrase at any time. Before starting, they set limits and rules for the agent. MetaMask has announced key protection based on a trusted execution environment. For transactions in Ethereum, Linea, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, Base, Polygon, BSC, and Sei, there are provisions for simulation, threat scanning via Blockaid service, and protection against MEV in the Smart Transactions feature. Operations flagged as malicious or outside the user's policy will require confirmation through 2FA. For transactions deemed safe, MetaMask has announced coverage under the Transaction Protection option up to $10,000 per month. Two modes are available in early access: Guard Mode is enabled by default and requires confirmation for operations that exceed daily limits or access protocols outside the allowed list; Beast Mode operates on a subscription basis and involves fewer interruptions in borderline cases, but maintains basic security checks and 2FA for suspicious transactions. Currently, the Agent Wallet is only available to participants of the Early Access Program. MetaMask plans a public launch in the summer of 2026. Back in February, Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao predicted the era of AI agents in the crypto industry.
