Give your AI agent a wallet. Pay for APIs, send money, and trade tokens safely, with built-in spending limits.

​
What is Agentic Wallet?

Agentic Wallet gives any AI agent a standalone wallet to hold and spend stablecoins, or trade for other tokens on Base. Built on Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) infrastructure, agents can authenticate via email OTP, hold USDC, and send, trade, or pay for services without ever accessing private keys.

Security

  • Key isolation: Private keys stay in Coinbase infrastructure
  • Spending guardrails: Enforce limits before any transaction
  • KYT screening: Block high-risk interactions automatically
  • Built-in OFAC compliance: All transfers are automatically screened against OFAC sanctions lists and blocked before submission onchain, helping agents operate within regulatory bounds on Coinbase’s trusted, compliant crypto infrastructure

Components
