Trust Wallet, the self-custody crypto wallet that has achieved over 220 million downloads, has unveiled its innovative Trust Wallet Agent Kit. This new infrastructure allows AI agents to perform real crypto transactions across more than 25 blockchains while ensuring that users maintain complete control over their assets. This marks a significant milestone as AI can now interact with a user’s wallet, but only within the permissions that the user establishes.
The Agent Kit integrates with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and is accessible through a command line interface (CLI). This provides developers with the resources necessary to securely build and test AI-powered workflows in the cryptocurrency space. The announcement follows the recent launch of Trust Wallet’s Developer Portal, which enabled AI agents to access read-only data across over 100 chains. The Developer Portal offered insights into users’ crypto positions, and the introduction of the Agent Kit brings a more advanced wallet-connected layer that allows for user-directed actions and automated workflows.
Felix Fan, CEO of Trust Wallet, emphasized the importance of establishing a trusted layer for AI to safely engage with users’ finances. He stated that the Agent Kit enables developers to create AI agents that can operate within the parameters set by users, thus enhancing the functionality and safety of their wallet interactions.
A recent study by the Bitcoin Policy Institute revealed that leading AI models have a strong preference for digitally-native currencies, with Bitcoin being favored in 48.3% of scenarios. Furthermore, Bitcoin was identified as a dominant long-term store of value in 79.1% of scenarios analyzed, significantly outpacing both stablecoins and traditional fiat currencies. The study highlighted Bitcoin’s fixed supply, decentralization, and self-custody as key attributes that make it appealing to AI systems.
The Agent Kit offers two distinct modes of interaction for users. The first is a dedicated AI agent wallet, where users can preset permissions for various tasks such as dollar-cost averaging and alerts, eliminating the need for per-transaction approvals. The second mode uniquely connects an AI agent directly to an existing Trust Wallet account through WalletConnect. In this setup, agents can propose transactions that must be approved by users before execution, ensuring that custody remains with the user at all times.
With the Agent Kit supporting a wide array of more than 25 blockchains, it stands as the most expansive AI-connected wallet infrastructure available. The toolkit is equipped with comprehensive DeFi capabilities, including swap functions, automation options, limit orders, alerts, and risk scoring. Additionally, it offers developers features like ENS resolution and message signing, allowing for swift setup of working AI agents in under 15 minutes.
Looking ahead, Trust Wallet plans to incorporate AI directly into its platform for all 220 million users. This would yield benefits such as in-wallet insights, automated trading strategies, personalized alerts, and transaction suggestions that have been approved by users. Furthermore, an upcoming Agent Marketplace is set to allow developers to share reusable agent strategies and trading bots, providing users the opportunity to discover and deploy these tools directly from their wallets.
With the Agent Kit, Trust Wallet aims to establish itself as the cornerstone for self-custody in an increasingly AI-driven landscape, giving users the advantages of automation while ensuring their assets remain securely under their control.
