MetaMask has officially launched Agent Wallet, a self custodial wallet that allows AI agents to execute onchain transactions while operating within rules established by the user.
Your agent finally gets its own wallet.

The wallet lets users connect AI frameworks including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, OpenCode, and Cursor. Agents can then monitor markets, prepare transactions, and execute trades through MetaMask’s command line interface.
Users can establish daily spending limits, allowlisted protocols, and risk preferences before granting an agent permission to transact. MetaMask offers two operating settings called Guard Mode and Beast Mode.
Guard Mode requires agents to remain within approved protocols and spending limits. Transactions outside those rules are paused and presented to the user for two factor approval through email or the MetaMask mobile app.
Beast Mode removes some of the policy restrictions for advanced users, although transactions identified as malicious are still blocked and sent for human approval. Agents cannot bypass MetaMask’s security checks, according to the company.
The wallet supports execution across Hyperliquid and supported Ethereum Virtual Machine networks, including Robinhood Chain and Monad. It can complete token transfers, swaps, batch transactions, and other decentralized finance operations.
MetaMask said users do not need to hold a network’s native token to pay gas fees when completing eligible transfers and swaps. The wallet can instead settle the network fee using the token involved in the transaction.
Supported EVM transactions pass through a three stage security process before execution.
The first stage simulates the transaction and displays expected balance changes, token approvals, and gas routing. The second scans for threats using technology powered by blockchain security company Blockaid. The final stage uses MetaMask’s Smart Transactions system to limit value lost through maximal extractable value activity.
Eligible transactions that pass the security process but still result in a covered loss may qualify for MetaMask Transaction Protection of up to $10,000 per month, subject to the program’s terms and conditions.
Agent Wallet supports server wallets, where keys are secured separately from a user’s primary wallet, and a bring your own wallet option that keeps keys on the user’s device. MetaMask said users retain control of their keys and can export their secret recovery phrase.
Developers can access the wallet through MetaMask’s CLI and install dedicated skills that translate natural language requests into wallet commands. The system returns structured information that can be processed by compatible AI models and agent frameworks.
MetaMask first introduced Agent Wallet through a limited early access release in June. The company announced its official launch on August 6, opening the product to traders and developers testing agent driven onchain workflows.
