DeFi moves fast, but it often moves without looking ahead.
Right now, everyone is focused on yield, narratives, and price action. Very few are thinking about what happens when software starts acting independently with money. Not assisting. Not suggesting. Acting.
That’s where KITE becomes interesting.
Autonomous agents don’t behave like humans. They don’t hesitate. They don’t get tired. And they don’t “feel” when something is wrong. If an agent is misconfigured or misled once, it can repeat that mistake endlessly — and at scale.
Most wallets and DeFi systems were never designed for this reality. They assume a single human decision-maker behind every transaction. That assumption is breaking.
KITE approaches the problem from a different angle. Instead of giving agents full control, it introduces structure: permissions, limits, and conditional execution. An agent can operate freely, but only within boundaries that are defined in advance.
This is not about slowing innovation. It’s about making it survivable.
As AI agents become more common in trading, treasury management, and on-chain automation, protocols without safeguards will fail loudly. Protocols like KITE will quietly become essential.
