MetaMask Launches an AI Agent Wallet, Supporting Chain-Wide DeFi Operations and Built-In Trading Security Protections

Deep Tide TechFlow news: On June 08, MetaMask, as disclosed by the MetaMask official blog, officially launched its first self-custody wallet designed specifically for AI agents—MetaMask Agent Wallet—and kicked off an Early Access Program on June 8, 2026. This wallet connects to AI agent frameworks via a command-line interface (CLI) and supports all EVM chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, Optimism, Polygon, BSC, Linea, Sei, as well as Hyperliquid—covering end-to-end DeFi capabilities such as token swaps, perpetual contracts, prediction markets, and liquidity provision.

In terms of security, the wallet provides two operating modes. The default “Guard Mode” allows users to set daily spending limits and protocol whitelists; transactions that exceed the rules require 2FA manual approval before they can be executed. “Beast Mode” grants advanced users greater autonomy, but malicious transaction detection and 2FA verification mechanisms are still enforced.

All transactions go through transaction simulation, Blockaid threat scanning, and MEV protection. For secure transactions, the maximum transaction assurance can be up to $10,000 per month. Users retain their own private keys and can export their mnemonic phrases at any time. The official version is expected to be fully launched this summer.
