Recently, I have observed a subtle change happening in the encryption circle. No one is loudly promoting it, but the more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes. The issue is not with the technology itself, but with a deeper turning point: AI agents are no longer just "working for you"; they are now starting to "make decisions for you and take action for you." Once this step is taken, the flow of funds becomes unavoidable. And the Kite project happens to stand right on this dividing line.
Most projects spend all day hyping the future, efficiency, and scale. Kite is different; it focuses on a question that people deliberately avoid: **If one day it is no longer you manually confirming, but rather some AI acting on your behalf, what basis do you have to trust that it won't make mistakes?** This isn't about fearing technology, it's simply about fearing loss of control. Kite's logic is very simple—without boundaries of autonomy, it will inevitably lead to failure.
Why is the current encryption wallet like this? Essentially, it is designed to accommodate human weaknesses. People hesitate when transferring money, are afraid of making mistakes, and even after the transfer, they have lingering worries. AI is completely different. It doesn't get tired, doesn't hesitate, and isn't conflicted. Once you give it full permissions, you're not betting on how smart it is, but betting on "never having a hiccup." But what about reality? Accidents will inevitably happen. On the other hand, if you lock the permissions too tightly, the AI agent will be bound so much that it can't do anything. This contradiction caught in the middle is exactly the wall that Kite aims to break down.
The idea behind Kite is not to let AI be more indulgent, but to give freedom a shape - to set boundaries for it. It is not about creating "smarter wallets", but about making "agents with safety valves".

To be honest, this perspective is quite fresh. Instead of bragging about how powerful AI is, it’s more about asking how to put brakes on it; I like this line of thinking.
