🌕 CZ-owned Trust Wallet launches AI agents that can execute crypto trades
The digital wallet owned by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, which has more than 220 million customers, said Thursday that users can now employ artificial intelligence-powered agents to perform a variety of crypto transactions.
"Today, Trust Wallet launches the Trust Wallet Agent Kit (TWAK) — infrastructure that lets AI agents execute real crypto transactions, across more than 25 blockchains, within rules that users define and control," the company said in a blog post. The agents can handle cross-chain swaps across several networks, including Solana and Bitcoin, in addition to managing recurring buys.
Crypto firms are increasingly experimenting with AI-powered automation, aiming to allow users to enlist agents that can actively manage portfolios and execute trades.
The new toolkit offers two ways to operate, one where the AI agent has its own wallet and can execute trades automatically based on set rules, and the other where it suggests transactions that users then need to approve.
"Trust Wallet has always been built on a single principle: your keys, your crypto. TWAK extends that principle into the age of AI agents," also according to the blog post. "With WalletConnect mode, an AI can help you act on your portfolio — research, propose, execute — without ever holding your keys. You stay in control."
While the cryptocurrency exchange initially bought Trust Wallet in 2018, it now operates as an independent company.
