3397: From Wallets to Agents: The Next Chapter for Magic Labs

Tech Talks Daily

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, Neil sits down with Sean Li, co-founder and CEO of Magic Labs, to explore the intersection of crypto wallets, artificial intelligence, and the future of autonomous finance.

Sean shares how Magic Labs has already onboarded over 50 million crypto wallets by pioneering simple login methods using email and SMS. Now, with Magic Newton, Sean is pushing into new territory where AI agents could securely manage digital assets on our behalf. From AI "concierges" executing investment strategies to cryptographic policy engines enforcing trust and control, the vision is clear: a financial internet where humans set the intent and machines handle the execution.

We discuss the challenges of today’s fragmented crypto experience, how smart wallets and AI could abstract away complexity, and why Sean believes everyone with an email address will eventually have multiple agents acting on their behalf. You'll also hear why he compares this shift to building a digital institution or constitution for autonomous finance.

Whether you're a developer, investor, or simply crypto-curious, this episode offers a fascinating look at where Web3, AI, and programmable trust may be heading next.
