Trust Wallet, the self-custody crypto wallet with over 220 million downloads, announced the launch of the Trust Wallet Agent Kit, a new infrastructure that enables AI agents to execute real crypto transactions across more than 25 blockchains — while keeping users fully in control.
For the first time, AI can take actions in a user’s wallet — but only within the permissions and boundaries defined by the user.
The Agent Kit integrates with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and is available via a command line interface (CLI), giving developers the tools to build and test AI-powered crypto workflows safely and efficiently, according to a press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine.
The launch follows the recent opening of Trust Wallet’s Developer Portal, which allowed AI agents read-only access to data across more than 100 chains. While the Developer Portal provided context for understanding users’ crypto positions, the Agent Kit adds a wallet-connected layer, enabling user-directed actions and automated workflows.
“AI can understand what a user wants to do with their money — but it needs a trusted layer before it can safely act on it,” said Felix Fan, CEO of Trust Wallet. “The Agent Kit is that layer. Developers can now build agents that execute on real wallets, within rules users set — and we’ll expand those capabilities as users build confidence in what AI can do on their behalf.”
Interestingly, a new Bitcoin Policy Institute study from this month found that frontier AI models overwhelmingly favor digitally-native money, with Bitcoin chosen in 48.3% of scenarios and dominating as a long-term store of value at 79.1%.
Stablecoins lagged behind, and traditional fiat was rarely selected, as AIs cited Bitcoin’s fixed supply, decentralization, and self-custody as key advantages.
AI agents working on your behalf
The Agent Kit supports two modes of interaction. The first is a dedicated AI agent wallet, where users preconfigure permissions for tasks such as dollar-cost averaging, alerts, and limit-based strategies without per-transaction approvals.
The second — unique in the industry — connects an AI agent directly to a user’s existing Trust Wallet through WalletConnect, where agents propose transactions that users approve before execution. Custody always remains with the user, ensuring safety and control.
At launch, the Agent Kit supports more than 25 blockchains, making it the broadest AI-connected wallet infrastructure available today. The toolkit comes equipped with full DeFi infrastructure, including swaps, automations, limit orders, alerts, and risk scoring, along with developer features such as ENS resolution and message signing.
Developers can set up a working AI agent in under 15 minutes.
Looking ahead, Trust Wallet plans to integrate AI directly into its wallet for all 220 million users, providing in-wallet insights, automated strategies, personalized alerts, and approved transaction suggestions.
Later this year, an Agent Marketplace will allow developers to publish reusable agent strategies and trading bots, while users can explore and deploy them directly from their wallets, the company said.
With the Agent Kit, Trust Wallet aims to become the foundation for self-custody in an AI-driven world, giving users the benefits of automation while ensuring their assets remain under their control.
