Executives from Trust Wallet and Mesh said at Consensus Miami 2026 that AI agents are reshaping crypto wallets by enabling autonomous on-chain transactions, payments and identity management. Trust Wallet CEO Felix Fan said the company is building tools that let agents execute trades and transfers while preserving user control and consent in its consumer app.

Mesh CTO Arjun Mukherjee focused on the infrastructure needed to support AI-driven payments, arguing that crypto wallets solve a key problem for AI agents by giving them a way to hold value and transact autonomously across blockchains and networks.

AI wallets are emerging as a new generation of crypto infrastructure that combines artificial intelligence with blockchain automation.

Unlike traditional wallets that require manual approvals, AI wallets can autonomously execute trades, manage DeFi positions, rebalance portfolios and optimize gas fees using machine learning models and programmable policy engines.
