Coinbase Launches Wallet with Built-in Security for AI Agents This isn't just a simple wallet; it's a dedicated infrastructure that allows AI agents (autonomous AI bots) to spend, earn, and trade real money. Running on the Base Network (Coinbase L2), it can autonomously handle USDC holding and transfers, token swaps, and even payments (such as service purchases) via the x402 protocol! Its key strengths lie in its robust built-in guardrails: ▫️Private keys are completely isolated in Coinbase's Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) → AI agents never see your keys (only your address is exposed). ▫️Session-based local keys + email OTP authentication ▫️Spend caps, session caps, and limited actions allowed ▫️KYT (risk screening) + design to prevent prompt injection, intentional theft, and misuse → Coinbase claims this is "tens of times more secure than storing keys on disk." While the existing AgentKit (built into an agent) provided a wallet, the new Agentic Wallets are an upgraded version that allows any AI agent to have a wallet built right in. Compatible with LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and OpenClaw, the CLI toolkit allows developers to test and use it right away! Erik Reppel, Head of Engineering at Coinbase, said: "This isn't an SDK or library; it's a dedicated wallet designed to make agents faster and more efficient. When agents need to purchase something or send money, a stablecoin + dedicated wallet is a much safer and frictionless way than a credit card." The era of AI moving beyond mere recommendations and analysis to actual on-chain money movement and economic activity is truly dawning! The future of AI agents paying for services, exchanging funds, and participating in DeFi is becoming a reality. Haha🔥 x.com/woojakka/status/20219350...
