General availability is expected this summer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/metamask.io\/news\/metamask-launches-agent-wallet-giving-ai-agents-full-defi-access-with-default-security-on-every-transaction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Agent Wallet<\/a> is built for a market where software agents are expected to handle more financial decisions. Metamask cited projections that the global agent market could grow from $5.4 billion in 2024 to $236 billion by 2034. It also pointed to Gartner\u2019s forecast that one in four enterprise breaches by 2028 could involve AI-agent exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>That risk is central to the product. AI agents can interact with <span>smart contracts<\/span>, execute trades, and move funds, but they can also be exposed to malicious contracts, prompt injection, and poisoned transactions.<\/p>\n<p>Metamask said Agent Wallet addresses those risks by making security checks mandatory. Every transaction passes through simulation, threat scanning powered by Blockaid, and MEV protection before execution.<\/p>\n<p>At launch, the wallet supports Ethereum, Linea, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, Base, Polygon, <span>BNB<\/span> Smart Chain, and Sei. It also provides access to <span>DeFi<\/span> activities such as swaps, perpetuals, <span>prediction markets<\/span>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-liquidity\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">liquidity<\/a> provision across <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-evm\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EVM<\/a> chains, with Hyperliquid support included.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Lubin, founder and CEO of Consensys and co-founder of Ethereum, said autonomous software will increasingly transact on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypto<\/a> rails. He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">Agents will manage real capital and make real financial decisions. Metamask Agent Wallet is the first agent wallet built with comprehensive full-stack security for that world: one where agents act with autonomy, security is mandatory, and the person behind the agent stays in control.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Metamask\u2019s Transaction Protection Covers Losses up to $10,000<\/h2>\n<p>Transactions deemed safe through Metamask\u2019s Transaction Protection are covered against losses of up to $10,000, according to the company. Agents cannot opt out of the security process.<\/p>\n<p>Users can choose between two operating modes. Guard Mode is the default and includes daily spending limits, allowlisted protocols, and two-factor approval for transactions that fall outside the user\u2019s policy.<\/p>\n<p>Beast Mode is designed for traders and developers who want fewer interruptions. In that mode, 2FA still applies to transactions flagged as malicious, but not to every policy edge case.<\/p>\n<p>When approval is required, users receive a push notification through the Metamask mobile app or an email link with transaction details. The agent cannot continue until the user approves.<\/p>\n<p>The wallet is framework-agnostic and works with systems including Openclaw, OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, Nous Research Hermes Agent, and Cursor.<\/p>\n<p>For Metamask, the launch is a bet that AI agents will become active participants in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-defi-decentralized-finance\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DeFi<\/a>. The company is positioning Agent Wallet as the control layer for that shift, where autonomy expands but user safeguards remain built in.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/metamask-launches-agent-wallet-for-ai-driven-defi-trading-targets-236b-ai-agent-market\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Consensys launched Metamask Agent Wallet, with wider access planned for summer 2026.
