Coinbase has officially launched a new tool designed to integrate artificial intelligence with blockchain technology by providing AI agents with their own crypto wallets. The initiative, spearheaded by the Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP), aims to empower autonomous AI agents to perform on-chain transactions, such as trading, transferring funds, and interacting with decentralized applications.
Known as “Based Agent,” the tool allows developers to create and deploy AI agents on the Base network in less than three minutes. By equipping these agents with wallets, Coinbase is addressing a major limitation in current AI capabilities: the inability to conduct economic transactions independently. This development is seen as a significant step toward a “machine-to-machine” economy, where AI entities can pay for computing power, storage, or other digital services without human intervention.
CEO Brian Armstrong highlighted the potential of this technology, noting that AI agents should have access to financial resources to be fully functional in the digital world. The launch aligns with Coinbase’s broader strategy to expand the utility of the Base ecosystem and position itself at the intersection of AI and Web3.
