Coinbase announced the launch of Agentic Wallets, a wallet infrastructure for AI agents designed to "provide wallets for any intelligent agent," enabling AI to independently complete on-chain transactions and payments without human intervention. Based on the x402 protocol currently under development by Coinbase, this tool allows AI agents to autonomously hold funds, send payments, trade tokens, earn yield, and perform on-chain operations, while incorporating built-in security permissions and risk control mechanisms. Coinbase stated that this solution addresses key limitations of current AI when dealing with financial transactions, enabling it to truly perform economic actions. Agentic Wallets is a further upgrade to the previous AgentKit tool, employing a plug-and-play approach that allows developers to quickly configure tradable wallets for their AI agents. For example, with preset permissions, AI can automatically adjust asset allocation or capture yield opportunities. Initially, this feature will support the EVM ecosystem and Solana, and will enable gas-free trading on Coinbase's Base Layer 2 platform. (The Block)
