MetaMask Launches Agent Wallet for AI Agents, Offers Up to $10K Protection on Ethereum

According to The Block, MetaMask launched Agent Wallet, a non-custodial wallet designed for AI agents to automate trading, perpetual contracts, prediction market activities, and liquidity provision on Ethereum, EVM chains, and Hyperliquid. Consensys said the wallet includes transaction simulation, custom spending limits, whitelist rules, and integration with Blockaid to scan suspicious transactions. Risky transactions trigger manual confirmation via 2FA or email.

Secure transactions approved through MetaMask Transaction Protection receive up to $10,000 in coverage. The product is currently available via command line to a limited number of users and is expected to become generally available to more users this summer.
