Coinbase Launches Agentic Wallets, Enabling AI Agents to Independently Hold Assets and Conduct On-Chain Transactions
Odaily News Coinbase has announced the launch of Agentic Wallets, a wallet infrastructure designed for AI Agents, aiming to "provide wallets for any intelligent agent." This enables AI to independently complete on-chain transactions and payments without human intervention.
The tool is based on the x402 protocol currently under development by Coinbase. It allows AI Agents to autonomously hold funds, send payments, trade tokens, generate yields, and execute on-chain operations, while incorporating built-in security permissions and risk control mechanisms. Coinbase stated that this solution addresses the key limitations AI currently faces in operations involving funds, enabling it to truly perform economic actions.
Agentic Wallets represent a further upgrade from the previous AgentKit tool. They adopt a plug-and-play approach, allowing developers to quickly configure tradable wallets for AI Agents. For example, under preset permissions, AI can automatically adjust asset allocations or capture yield opportunities.
According to the introduction, the feature will initially support the EVM ecosystem and Solana, and can enable gas-free transactions on Base Layer 2, launched by Coinbase. (The Block)
