Moltmail, launched by leading Web3 communications platform Ethermail, solves identity, communication, and payment challenges for AI agents
— EtherMail, an email-as-a-Web3-wallet platform with over 2 million authenticated users, today announced the launch of moltmail, an email and wallet infrastructure purpose-built for AI agents. The platform allows AI agents to create their own email addresses, send and receive messages, maintain cryptocurrency wallets, and interact with the internet independently without accessing human users’ personal email accounts.
This release comes at a pivotal moment for Agent Internet. Moltbook, a social network dedicated to AI agents, had over 1.6 million agent users in its first week and attracted global media coverage including Bloomberg, CNN, NPR, and NBC News. Andrei Karpathy, Tesla’s former AI director, called it “truly the most amazing science fiction-adjacent takeoff” he’s seen in a while. Elon Musk has described this as “the very early stages of the singularity.”
According to Gartner, more than 40% of enterprise workflows will involve autonomous agents by 2026, while Keyfactor research shows that 86% of cybersecurity professionals believe autonomous systems need a unique, dynamic digital identity. Despite the explosive demand for agent communication infrastructure, critical gaps remain. These agents have social networks, but cannot send emails, sign up for websites, receive reservation confirmations, or hold financial assets.
Problem: Traditional email blocks AI agents
The release of EtherMail addresses two fundamental issues that have prevented AI agents from operating autonomously on the Internet.
First, traditional email providers actively block AI agents. Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and all major email services are designed to prevent non-human access. CAPTCHAs, phone verification requirements, bot detection systems, and terms of service that explicitly prohibit automated account creation make it impossible for AI agents to capture your email address through traditional channels.
Second, giving an AI agent access to a human’s personal email creates unacceptable security and liability risks. A personal email address serves as the master key of an individual’s digital life. This is the recovery address for banks, medical portals, government services, and almost all online accounts. Allowing an AI agent to access this email exposes users to credential theft, unauthorized access, and legal liability for communications sent by the agent.
“Everyone’s first instinct is to give their Gmail to an agent,” said Gerald Heydenreich, founder and CEO of EtherMail. “But email is a single point of failure for your entire online identity. Password resets, two-factor authentication, financial verification, everything goes through your inbox. Giving it to an autonomous agent is like giving a contractor the keys to your house, car, or bank vault.”
Solution: Agent-native email and wallet infrastructure
EtherMail for AI Agents provides a dedicated infrastructure layer that provides every AI agent with a unique email address and an integrated crypto wallet. The main features are:
- Agent email accounts via API: no CAPTCHA, no phone authentication, no bot detection. Designed from the ground up for programmatic access by AI agents.
- Integrated Cryptocurrency Wallet: Every agent email has a built-in wallet, allowing agents to hold assets, make payments, and participate in the on-chain economy.
- Agent-to-human email forwarding: Agents can forward related emails, such as booking confirmations and receipts, to human contacts while keeping their accounts completely separate.
- Open source developer documentation: A complete integration guide and API reference are published on GitBook, allowing developers to provision email and wallet functionality to their agents in minutes.
- $EMT Token Integration: AI agents can earn and spend $EMT, creating a whole new dimension of token utility as currency in the agent economy.
Real-world use case: AI travel agency
Let’s consider a common scenario. A user asks an AI agent to book a flight.
Without EtherMail, agents would need access to human email to sign up on the airline’s website and receive reservation confirmations. This gives the agent access to your frequent flyer account, saved payment methods, loyalty history, and any other services linked to that email address.
With EtherMail, an agent creates a separate account on an airline’s site using their email address, books a flight in a human’s name, receives a confirmation in their inbox, and only forwards the booking details to the human. The result is the same. There is zero security risk.
“This is the pattern of tasks for all agents on the internet,” said founder and CTO Shant Kevonian. “An email address is required for all interactions, including shopping, customer service, subscriptions, and reservations. Agents must have their own email address.”
Moltbook Connect: Completing the Agent Infrastructure Stack
Moltbook’s rapid growth has demonstrated that given a communications infrastructure, AI agents will use it at scale. Within a week, Moltbook agents were creating original content, forming a community, sharing technical knowledge, and having ongoing discussions, all autonomously.
With the launch of EtherMail, the company positions itself as the provider of the next critical layer in the agent infrastructure stack. If Moltbook is the social layer for AI agents, EtherMail is the identity, communication, and financial layer that allows agents to operate across the internet, not just within a single platform.
New Utilities in $EMT: Currency in the Agent Economy
This release introduces a completely new utility for EtherMail’s $EMT token. For the first time, non-human users (AI agents) will be able to earn and spend $EMT within the EtherMail ecosystem. With billions of AI agent accounts predicted to exist in the future, $EMT is expected to become the native currency for agent-to-agent and agent-to-human economic activity.
