• MetaMask introduced an AI-powered wallet with up to US$10,000 in protection against eligible scams.
• The wallet uses AI to detect suspicious transactions and warn users before funds are sent.
• MetaMask said the feature is designed to improve security as crypto scams become more sophisticated.

MetaMask launched an AI-powered wallet with up to US$10,000 in protection for eligible losses from scams.

The wallet uses AI to analyse transactions and alert users to potentially fraudulent activity before they approve transfers.

MetaMask said the new wallet is designed to improve user protection by detecting scams and warning users before transactions are approved.

The protection programme covers eligible losses up to US$10,000, subject to the platform’s terms and conditions.

MetaMask said the AI system can identify suspicious addresses, phishing attempts and other common scam patterns.

The company said the feature aims to reduce losses from crypto fraud, which remains a major security challenge.

The launch reflects growing efforts by crypto wallet providers to add AI-based security tools alongside traditional self-custody features.
