Coinbase Unveils Agentic Wallets for AI on Base Network
- Coinbase has launched Agentic Wallets, designed for AI agents on its Ethereum layer-2 network, Base.
- Private keys are stored in trusted execution environments to prevent exposure to bots and enhance security.
- Agentic Wallets work with AI models like ChatGPT and OpenClaw, allowing them to handle USDC and swap tokens securely.
Coinbase’s new wallet infrastructure aims to address security risks associated with AI agents handling financial transactions by isolating private keys from the agent’s logic. This development is part of a broader effort to integrate autonomous software with digital commerce securely.
The introduction of Agentic Wallets signifies a shift towards enabling AI agents not just to communicate but also to transact autonomously, leveraging stablecoins for secure payments while minimizing risk exposure. (Source)
