MetaMask just gave AI agents a DeFi wallet with a leash

- MetaMask just launched Agent Wallet, finally giving AI agents a DeFi leash instead of an open checkbook. It’s self-custodial, meaning you keep the keys while the bot does the dirty work. You set the rules: spend limits, allowlists, and 2FA escalation for when the algorithm gets spicy. There’s even a "Beast Mode" for masochists who trust code over common sense. Simulation and Blockaid scanning try to stop the inevitable rug pulls before they happen. It’s not magic; it’s just programmable bureaucracy. The real question isn’t if this makes DeFi safer, but whether you’ll approve every transaction or let the bot drain your account because it misunderstood "maximize alpha." At least now we have a structured way to lose money autonomously.
