Human.tech announced the launch of Agentic WaaP (Wallet as a Protocol) at WalletCon 2026, introducing a wallet infrastructure designed for AI agents that maintains human control through cryptographic safeguards. The product moves the wallet into the background, enabling simpler natural language interfaces for signing and authentication, while keeping humans in control through key management and delegated capabilities rather than authority. Agentic WaaP enables AI agents to trade, manage portfolios, and carry out blockchain operations within user-defined limits. The system uses Privileges (formerly Permission Tokens) to set parameters such as time limits, spending caps, and approved addresses, along with a policy engine that allows human-in-the-loop approvals for higher-risk actions. At its core, Agentic WaaP uses a two-party computation custody model, where the private key is split between the user’s device and a secure enclave. This ensures that neither the AI agent, the developer, nor Human.tech can independently initiate transactions. The approach extends beyond wallets to broader secret management, including bank accounts, API keys, root access privileges, and other sensitive data that should not be controlled by opaque agent systems. The system is also designed to evolve toward decentralized key management through integration with Ika Network. The launch comes as the agent economy gains momentum, with frameworks such as Coinbase AgentKit, LangChain, and CrewAI enabling AI-driven automation across financial and operational workflows. At the same time, regulatory developments like the European Union’s AI Act, set to take effect in August 2026, are increasing the focus on human oversight in autonomous systems. Human.tech said Agentic WaaP has been designed with these requirements in mind. At WalletCon 2026, Human.tech will showcase Agentic WaaP through interactive demonstrations, including creating an agent wallet within minutes, executing transactions with Telegram-based approvals, and deploying a prediction market agent using simple code templates. The company will also host a keynote titled “The Last Wallet You’ll Ever Open: Agentic Custody for the Human-Agent Economy.” Human.tech positions Agentic WaaP as security infrastructure for AI agents rather than a traditional user-facing wallet, reflecting a broader shift in how users interact with AI and supporting crypto systems. As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of users, the company argues that security, custody, and key management become more critical. The broader Human.tech ecosystem includes Human Passport, which has over 3 million users and more than 175 ecosystem partners. Its infrastructure has protected over $500 million from sybil attacks and is secured by more than $3 billion in restaked ETH. Agentic WaaP is currently available to developers without requiring an API key. The company plans to expand integrations across agent frameworks and continue developing its custody architecture, with a focus on enabling secure, human-aligned agent activity across blockchain networks.
