KITE: No cryptocurrency speculation, specifically addressing chaotic machine payments
#kite @KITE AI $KITE In the crypto circle, everyone has heard of smart contracts and DeFi, but there's a trend that few notice: when machines start spending money on their own, what does 'money' actually mean? When people spend money, they may be conflicted, calculating, and considering relationships—what about machines? They will only pay according to code, which can make people a bit uneasy.
The issue is not whether machines should handle money, but rather our current financial system, which assumes that every transaction must be decided by someone. Kite has a different approach: it does not give machines 'money', but instead 'precise payment permissions'.
How is this achieved? Three layers of identity: users manage money and long-term goals, agents are responsible for breaking down tasks, and the session layer locks each payment—specifying exactly where it can be used, how much, and when, all predetermined. Thus, machines do not receive 'a sum of money', but rather 'permission for a specific payment'.
This is particularly suitable for high-frequency small transactions in the crypto world: checking data, renting computing power, verifying results... If machines are allowed to spend freely, they may misinterpret the context and overspend. Kite binds each payment to a session, so even if a bug occurs, the loss is limited to a very small range, turning accidents from 'catastrophic failures' into 'minor bumps'.
KITE tokens are not meant for speculation but to enforce payment discipline. Validators stake to ensure rule execution, governance sets session limits, and the fee mechanism encourages precise operations.
In short, Kite does not boast about 'fully automated machines'; it acknowledges that machines only execute directly. Therefore, it has designed a set of 'precise, temporary, and purpose-driven' payment capabilities for them. The key to the future of the machine economy may not lie in letting machines manage more money, but in allowing them to spend with less ambiguity and greater safety—this is true autonomy. What Kite is doing is quietly establishing this set of financial discipline.
