MetaMask launched its Agent Wallet, giving AI agents a dedicated on‑chain wallet to trade across 12 networks while maintaining user control and security.

MetaMask has rolled out its new Agent Wallet, a dedicated on‑chain wallet that lets AI agents execute crypto trades across twelve major blockchain networks while keeping users firmly in control of their assets.

What Is the MetaMask Agent Wallet?

The Agent Wallet is a separate wallet instance within the MetaMask extension, designed specifically for autonomous software agents. Unlike traditional wallets that require manual transaction signing, the Agent Wallet grants pre‑approved permissions to AI agents, enabling them to place trades, manage positions, and interact with decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols without constant user prompts.

Supported Networks

At launch, the wallet supports twelve networks, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism, Fantom, Cronos, Gnosis, Base, zkSync, and Solana. This broad coverage allows agents to seek arbitrage, liquidity provision, and market‑making opportunities wherever they arise.

Security and User Control

MetaMask emphasizes that users retain full ownership of private keys and can set granular limits on each agent’s spending power. Permissions are displayed in the UI, and users can revoke access at any time, ensuring that AI‑driven activity does not compromise wallet safety.

  • Define per‑agent spending caps
  • Enable or disable specific network access
  • Revoke agent permissions instantly

Potential Use Cases

Developers can deploy bots that monitor price discrepancies across DEXs, execute flash‑loan strategies, or automatically rebalance portfolios. Traders benefit from faster reaction times, while DeFi platforms may see increased liquidity as agents act on real‑time market signals.

MetaMask notes that the Agent Wallet is still in an early phase, and they encourage community feedback to refine permission models and expand network support.
