Key Takeaways:
- Human.tech launched a wallet infrastructure enabling AI agents with cryptographic safeguards.
- EU AI Act, taking effect Aug 2026, makes human oversight central to autonomous wallet operations.
- Human Passport now counts 3M users, securing $500M and backed by $3B in restaked ETH.
Human-in-the-Loop Guardrails
Human.tech recently unveiled a new wallet infrastructure built for artificial intelligence agents that ensures humans remain the ultimate authority. Known as Agentic Wallet as a Protocol (WaaP), the system dissolves the traditional wallet interface into natural language interactions, enabling agents to trade, manage portfolios and execute blockchain operations within strict, cryptographically enforced boundaries.
According to a media statement, the new infrastructure is powered by “privileges” that set spending caps, time limits and approved addresses. A policy engine adds human-in-the-loop approvals for higher-risk actions, with Telegram prompts allowing one-tap confirmations.
“The wallet is no longer something you open. It is something that acts for you,” said Shady El Damaty, co-founder of Human.tech. “But that only works if the human remains root authority.”
At its core, the system introduces a two-party computation custody model. This model splits private keys between a user’s device and a secure enclave, ensuring that neither agents nor developers can act independently. The model extends beyond crypto wallets to broader secret management — including bank accounts, API keys and root privileges — with future integration planned for decentralized key management via Ika Network.
The launch comes as the agent economy accelerates, driven by frameworks such as Coinbase Agentkit, Langchain and CrewAI. Regulatory pressure is also mounting; the European Union’s AI Act takes effect in August 2026, mandating human oversight in autonomous systems. Human.tech said Agentic WaaP is designed to meet these requirements.
Human.tech’s broader ecosystem already includes Human Passport, which has more than 3 million users and 175 partners. The ecosystem has secured more than $500 million against Sybil attacks and is backed by $3 billion in restaked ether. Agentic WaaP is now available to developers without API key requirements, with plans to expand integrations across agent frameworks and advance custody architecture for secure, human-aligned agent activity.
