Zerion has launched Zerion CLI, an open-source toolkit that enables AI agents to manage crypto portfolios, swap tokens and sign transactions across over 40 EVM chains and Solana. The toolkit works with AI agents including Claude Code, Cursor and Codex. Built on Zerion API, which powers portfolio data in over 2,000 onchain products, the CLI allows agents to access full portfolio context including balances, DeFi positions across 8,000-plus protocols, transactions and profit and loss data. It supports three authentication models: standard API keys, x402 for agentic payments, and the Machine Payment Protocol on Tempo. The toolkit is extendable through Agent Skills, with launch partners including MoonPay, Uniswap, Polymarket, Monad and LI.FI. Developers can contribute new Skills via the public Zerion AI repository.

Zerion launches open-source CLI giving AI agents crypto capabilities. GlobeNewswire | Zerion Yesterday at 1:10pm PDT San Francisco, CA, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Zerion releases Zerion CLI, an open-source toolkit that gives AI agents native access to crypto portfolios, swaps, bridges, and transaction signing across 40+ EVM chains and Solana. Zerion CLI Crypto portfolios remain fragmented across dozens of chains, thousands of protocols, and multiple crypto wallets, forcing users to switch tabs, apps, and spreadsheets to get a complete view. Zerion CLI lets any compatible AI agent perform that work in plain language, removing the data bottleneck that has limited agents from operating onchain. Out of the box, AI agents using Zerion CLI can pull a user's full portfolio context: balances, DeFi positions across 8,000+ protocols, transactions, and realized PnL. Agents can also search assets, swap, bridge, and send tokens, as well as sign any transaction with private keys remaining on the user's device. Zerion CLI runs on Zerion API, the same infrastructure that powers portfolio data inside 2,000+ onchain products. The toolkit supports three authentication models: standard API keys for production use, x402 for agentic payments on Base or Solana, and the Machine Payment Protocol on Tempo. Use cases include portfolio tracking across 40+ chains, crypto wallet data monitoring, pulling current market context into agent workflows, multi-chain tax preparation, and agent-assisted trading. The toolkit is extendable through Agent Skills, modular components that add new protocols, workflows, and integrations. MoonPay, Uniswap, Polymarket, Monad, and LI.FI have contributed partner Skills at launch, with additional partners onboarding on a rolling basis. Developers can publish a Skill via pull request to the public Zerion AI repository, making each integration immediately available to every AI agent running Zerion CLI. "Zerion was founded on a simple idea: unify fragmented finance into a single interface," said Evgeny Yurtaev, CEO & cofounder of Zerion. "The interfaces are changing, but the idea is the same. Zerion CLI brings the same unified portfolio tracking context to the AI agents people are already using to work, research, and trade." Zerion CLI is available today as an open-source release. Documentation, the Skills catalog, and contribution guidelines are published on the Zerion AI GitHub repository. Press Inquiries This is a paid placement.

North Korean hackers target Zerion in ai-driven attack, steal $100K. The self-custodial smart wallet confirmed no user funds lost, but the breach reveals internal gaps linked to phishing tactics and human error vulnerabilities. Last updated: 4 hours ago Published 4 hours ago Key Highlights * The Zerion breach linked to North Korea saw $100K stolen via employee-targeted social engineering attack. * Attackers used advanced tactics to access internal wallets, exposing risks beyond crypto infrastructure. * Firms contain impact quickly, but experts warn AI-driven phishing is raising crypto security risks. A sophisticated cyberattack has raised concerns after Zerion confirmed a breach linked to North Korean hackers. The attackers used social engineering techniques to steal about $100,000 from the company's internal wallets. The incident took place last week and targeted a team member's device. In a post on X, Zerion clarified that the breach did not affect user funds or its core infrastructure. The company said attackers gained access through compromised credentials and active login sessions. The team further stated that it quickly shut down its web app as a precaution. "No user funds were lost," Zerion stated in its update. However, the incident exposed internal security weaknesses tied to phishing methods and human error. AI social engineering raises security stakes. The attackers used advanced tools to carry out a long-term social engineering campaign. They focused on a specific employee and eventually gained access to private keys. These keys controlled internal hot wallets used only for testing purposes. Zerion said the tactics were linked to North Korea-connected threat groups. These groups have repeatedly targeted crypto firms over several years. Security experts say the use of advanced tools has made phishing messages and impersonation attempts more convincing and harder to detect. Researchers have warned about this shift in attacks. MetaMask developer and security researcher Taylor Monahan noted earlier that North Korean-linked operators infiltrated atleast 40 crypto projects for years. Noted investigator ZachXBT also highlighted similar North Korea related risks for crypto. Blockchain firm Elliptic also said in a February blog post that these methods now go beyond exchanges. It added, "Individual developers, project contributors, and anyone with access to cryptoasset infrastructure is a potential target." Response measures and broader industry impact. Zerion responded quickly after detecting the breach. The company locked down its systems and reset all exposed credentials. It also scanned employee devices for malware and tightened internal access controls. In addition, the team worked with security firms to trace attacker wallets and report them to authorities. The company confirmed that its mobile apps and backend systems were not affected. It also stressed that its self-custodial design protects user funds, since the platform does not hold user private keys. Zerion said it plans to improve staff training and strengthen authentication policies to reduce future risks.
