MetaMask Launches 'Agent Wallet' in Early Access — Self-Custodial Onchain Trading for AI Agents With a Mandatory Security Pipeline

MetaMask·high signal

MetaMask launched Agent Wallet in early access on June 8, 2026: a self-custodial wallet purpose-built for AI agents to trade onchain 24/7 (swaps, perps, predictions, LPing) across all EVM chains plus Solana through a single CLI. Every transaction passes a three-step pipeline — simulation, Blockaid-powered Transaction Shield threat scanning, and MEV protection — with up to $10,000 in transaction-protection coverage and Guard/Beast modes for spending limits and approval routing. It is framework-agnostic (OpenClaw, OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, Nous Hermes Agent, Cursor), opening 200 spots ahead of a summer public launch — a concrete agentic-commerce primitive builders can wire into autonomous agents.
