MetaMask Launches AI Agent Wallet Supporting Cross-Chain DeFi Operations with Built-in Transaction Security Protection
According to MetaMask’s official blog, MetaMask has officially launched its first self-custodial wallet designed specifically for AI agents—MetaMask Agent Wallet—and will begin its Early Access Program on June 8, 2026. The wallet connects to AI agent frameworks via a command-line interface (CLI) and supports the full suite of DeFi functionalities—including token swaps, perpetual contracts, prediction markets, and liquidity provision—across all EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, Optimism, Polygon, BSC, Linea, Sei) as well as Hyperliquid.
On security, the wallet offers two operational modes:
- Default “Guard Mode” allows users to set daily spending limits and protocol allowlists; transactions exceeding these rules require manual two-factor authentication (2FA) approval before execution.
- “Beast Mode” grants advanced users greater autonomy, but malicious transaction detection and mandatory 2FA verification remain enforced.
All transactions undergo transaction simulation, Blockaid threat scanning, and MEV protection. Secure transactions are backed by up to $10,000 per month in transaction protection. Users retain full control of their private keys and can export their seed phrase at any time. The full public release is expected this summer.
