Hand an agent an ordinary wallet and you face a bad trade-off. Give it real freedom and a single misread instruction, a malicious contract, or a bad market can drain everything. Lock it down and approve every step, and you've just rebuilt a manual wallet with extra latency — the agent isn't autonomous at all.
AgentWallet removes that trade-off. An AI agent can operate on its own, but only within rules a human defines up front: how much it can spend, which protocols it may touch, and how much risk it's allowed to take. The agent acts. The perimeter holds. And every transaction is screened before it ever reaches the chain.
We think this is the only honest way to bring agents into DeFi — not by trusting the model more, but by making the wallet enforce the limits so trust isn't required.
