{"slug": "ai-agents-and-payments-controled-by-l1", "title": "Ai Agents and Payments Controled by L1", "summary": "Wallet Agent AI, an open-source project, gives AI agents their own wallets with programmable permissions enforced on L1 Radix smart contracts, including spending limits, per-transaction caps, destination and asset whitelists, and freeze and revoke controls. The project's example caps an agent at 5 XRD per transaction, so a request to spend 20 XRD is rejected on-chain rather than trusted from the AI prompt. The developers state the goal is to build infrastructure for programmable financial agents before connecting them to real services and agent-to-agent economies.", "body_md": "AI agents are becoming more autonomous.\n\nThey can browse, trade, call APIs, execute tasks and interact with other services.\n\nBut one problem remains:\n\nHow do you give an AI access to money without giving it unrestricted access to your wallet?\n\nWe built Wallet Agent AI to explore that problem.\n\nInstead of giving an AI access to your main wallet and hoping it behaves, the agent gets its own wallet with programmable permissions.\n\nFor example:\n\nSpending limits to control how much the agent can spend.\n\nTransaction limits to restrict the maximum amount per transaction.\n\nWhitelists to limit which destinations and assets the agent can use.\n\nFreeze and revoke controls to stop the agent immediately.\n\nOwner-controlled permissions so the agent never gets unrestricted control of your funds.\n\nOn-chain authorization enforced on L1 Radix smart contracts, rather than relying only on instructions in an AI prompt.\n\nDeFi capabilities including swaps, liquidity, staking and other Radix applications.\n\nAI integrations designed for autonomous agents, not just human users.\n\nThe interesting part is not simply giving an AI its own wallet.\n\nIt is giving the AI limited financial capabilities.For example:\n\nYou have 100 XRD or HUSDC or whatever token.\n\nYou can spend a maximum of 5 XRD per transaction and interact only with these approved applications.\n\nIf the agent then tries to spend 20 XRD, it can make the request, but the transaction is rejected.\n\nThe AI can try.\n\nThe blockchain does not have to trust it.\n\nThis is not yet an AI that can shop on Amazon or make payments across the internet.\n\nThe goal is to build the infrastructure for programmable financial agents first, then connect them to real services and agent-to-agent economies.\n\nThe project is open source because we want other developers to experiment with the idea and build on top of it.\n\nWallet Agent AI: [https://wallet-agent-ai.github.io/](https://wallet-agent-ai.github.io/)\n\nThe GitHub repository and SDK are linked from the project.\n\nWhat would you trust an AI agent to do with money if you could define and enforce its permissions on-chain?", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-agents-and-payments-controled-by-l1", "canonical_source": "https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/ai-agents-and-payments-controled-by-l1/189957#post_1", "published_at": "2026-10-07 21:49:09+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-07 22:17:02.630287+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-safety", "ai-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Wallet Agent AI", "Radix", "XRD", "HUSDC", "GitHub"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-agents-and-payments-controled-by-l1", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-agents-and-payments-controled-by-l1.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-agents-and-payments-controled-by-l1.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-agents-and-payments-controled-by-l1.jsonld"}}
