An AI agent wallet is a crypto wallet that lets an AI agent hold money and make payments on someone’s behalf.
An AI agent is software that can complete tasks on its own, like finding information or buying a service. To pay for things, it needs somewhere to hold funds. Crypto fits this need well, because a wallet doesn’t need a bank account or a card, so software can use one directly.
The question is how much control to hand over. A wallet’s private key is the one secret that unlocks everything inside it, so agent wallets are designed to give an agent only the access it needs.
