AI Agents Take Over Wallets: Free Transactions and Autonomy Unleashed

Key Highlights

  • In this new era, software agents may stand as independent economic beings by bearing their own non-custodial blockchain identities.
  • The Base network offers gasless transactions, so AI operations aren’t interrupted by the petty tyranny of fees.
  • Developers can fashion financial guardrails through programmable spending policies that declare, with a solicitor’s calm, exactly how much an agent may spend.

Coinbase Developer Platform unveiled Agentic Wallets on a Wednesday, presenting an infrastructure meant to give autonomous AI agents direct access to on-chain financial tools. One might remark with a half-smile that the thing looks less like a wallet and more like a passport for the mind.

By threading gasless transactions and programmable spending limits on the Base network, the system enables software agents to manage funds, hold identity, and execute payments without human intervention. The company also introduced developer portals to create a standard framework for the growing intersection of AI and blockchain technology-an earnest attempt to make the future legible to engineers and poets alike.

Introducing Agentic Wallets, our first ever wallet infrastructure built specifically for autonomous agents.

Give your agent the power of a wallet. Let your agent manage funds, hold identity, and transact onchain without human intervention. 🧵
