MetaMask Opens Agent Wallet with AI Trading Across 100+ Transactions, Up to $10K Monthly Coverage

According to CoinDesk, MetaMask opened early access to its Agent Wallet on June 8 for traders and developers. The self-custodial wallet enables AI agents to execute swaps, perpetual futures trades, prediction-market positions, and liquidity provisioning across Ethereum-compatible blockchains and Hyperliquid, while users retain full control of their funds. MetaMask employs delegated permissions rather than asset transfers, allowing users to pre-approve specific agent actions within set limits and revoke permissions at any time.

Each transaction undergoes simulation, threat scanning, and MEV protection before execution, with flagged transactions requiring human two-factor authentication approval. Eligible transactions may qualify for coverage of up to $10,000 per month across up to 100 transactions, provided MetaMask deems them safe. Perpetual futures are unavailable in the US, UK, Ontario, Belgium, and US-sanctioned countries, while prediction markets face broader geographic restrictions.
