Coinbase Agentic Wallets

Coinbase Agentic Wallets is Coinbase Developer Platform infrastructure for agents that need to spend, fund, send, trade, and earn without seeing a raw key. The launch page from 2026-02-11 is still live. The plural /agentic-wallets/welcome path did not return a usable page.

Keys stay in a TEE / enclave. Session caps, transaction limits, and KYT sit in front of signing. Official skills are Authenticate, Fund, Send, Trade, and Earn in coinbase/agentic-wallet-skills. First-party onboarding is npx awal. Newer docs also describe an Agentic Wallet MCP server and a cdp CLI path.

Key Features

• TEE keys: The model never gets the private key in the prompt.
• Limits + KYT: Session spend caps, tx limits, and Know Your Transaction screening.
• x402: Launch copy still cites 50M+ x402 transactions as the payment rail.
• Gasless Base trading: Trade supported tokens on Base without a separate gas wallet.
• Skills + CLI + MCP: npx awal, the five official skills, and an MCP server for agents that already speak MCP.

Use Cases

• Agent builders who need payments without putting custody material in context.
• x402 buyers of APIs, compute, data, or storage.
• Onchain loops that must trade or earn inside Coinbase policy.

Limitation: pricing is still usage-based. There is no public seat table. This product is not the same page as Coinbase AgentKit.

Pricing

Getting Started

1. Read the welcome docs.
2. Run npx awal and authenticate with CDP.
3. Create the wallet, set spend limits, then enable only the skills the agent needs.
4. If the agent already uses MCP, attach the Agentic Wallet MCP server instead of wrapping every skill by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the agent see the key?

No. Docs say the key stays in the TEE / enclave.

Is the docs path agentic-wallets or agentic-wallet?

Use the singular live path: /agentic-wallet/welcome.

Can I quote a monthly price?

Not from first-party pages as of 2026-08-17.

Alternatives

• Coinbase AgentKit: Broader onchain toolkit, not this TEE wallet product.
• MetaMask Agent Wallet: Self-custodial policies if you are not on CDP.
• MoonPay MoonAgents: Fiat and card lifecycle on top of wallets.

Tips

1. Start with Authenticate + Fund + Send. Add Trade and Earn only after limits look sane.
2. Treat a KYT block as an ops signal, not a bug to bypass.
3. Confirm whether you need awal, cdp, or MCP. The launch post and the welcome page now list more than one entry point.

Conclusion

Coinbase Agentic Wallets is still the CDP path for TEE-backed agent spend: limits, KYT, x402, and official skills. Start at the welcome docs or npx awal, and keep AgentKit in the other tab so you do not mix the two products.
