Hedera launches Agent Accounts with rule-based wallet controls
Hedera's Agent Accounts let agents like Claude Code and Codex hold funds, pay, settle and trade autonomously under user-set spending limits, time windows, recipient allowlists and 2FA for large transactions, with a Wallet SDK and API.
🤖 Hedera Agent Accounts: Your Wallet. Your Rules. Your Agent. Hedera has launched Agent Accounts, enabling AI agents to autonomously hold funds, make payments, settle transactions, and execute trades while users retain control. 🔐 Rule-Based Control • Supports Claude Code, Codex & custom agents • Daily & per-transaction spending limits • Time-based restrictions • Recipient allowlists • 2FA approval for large transactions ⚡ Autonomous 24/7 Execution Agents can: • Pay invoices & settle funds • Make API calls and pay related costs • Monitor & rebalance portfolios • Execute trades 👥 Built for Everyone • 📈 Traders — automated portfolio management & trading • 🧑💻 DeFi users — self-custody & cross-chain operation • 👨💻 Developers — Wallet SDK & API • 🏢 Enterprises — delegated accounts, policies & audit trails 🛡️ Security & Sovereignty Non-custodial architecture lets users define permissions directly from their wallets, while smart-contract-based rules keep agents within defined boundaries. 🚀 The Core Idea Not “give AI your wallet,” but “let AI operate your wallet within your rules” — enabling programmable permissions and spending controls for the emerging agent economy.
