MetaMask has launched its AI-powered Agent Wallet, allowing users to automate on-chain transactions while maintaining control over their funds. The wallet connects to various AI frameworks, including Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, to monitor markets, prepare transactions, and execute trades through MetaMask's command line interface.

The user sets rules for the agent, such as daily spending limits and allowed protocols, before granting permission to transact. There are two operating settings: Guard Mode, which requires approval for any transaction outside approved protocols, and Beast Mode, which relaxes some policy restrictions for advanced users.

Supported EVM transactions pass through a three-stage security process, including simulation, threat scanning powered by Blockaid, and Smart Transactions to limit value lost. Eligible transactions may qualify for MetaMask's Transaction Protection program, offering up to $10,000 in coverage per month.
