It seems like everyone is either snick
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what’s actually happening in the world of Artificial Intelligence. We’re through the “Wow” phase of ChatGPT writing poems. Now, we’re moving into the phase of wanting AI to actually accomplish things—for example, book flight reservations, manage investment portfolios, negotiate prices, or make trades.
But there is a huge, frightening Wall that prevents this from occurring in a safe manner: Money.
Today, an AI agent is like the brightest intern who doesn’t have a bank account. It can tell you what you need to do, but it can’t make the trade without you pressing the button that says “approve.” Honestly, would you let the bot get into your private key? One bug, one hallucination, and your wallet is empty.
This is what caught my attention about Kite. It is more than some generic blockchain. It is almost like it is the exact technology that is required to solve the “trust problem” of the Agentic Economy.
One of the issues that needs to be addressed by businesses in
One of the cleverest things about Kite is the way it deals with identity. It does not regard the AI agent as a human user.
In crypto, if you have the key, you basically have the power. Kite redefines the Terms of Service with their patented Three-Layer Identity System.
The User (You) : Boss.
The Agent: The Employee.
The Session: The special task.
To me, it’s just like that. This system works completely like the real world. It is like issuing company credit cards to an employee. You are not issueing access to the company vaults. You issue a card with a $500 limit that is good for 24 hours.
Kite’s “Session” layer does exactly that. You can delegate an agent for a certain task for a limited time. If the agent becomes malicious, gets compromised, or just messes up, no one is hurt except for that one session. Access is terminated. It makes me go along with “autonomous payments.” I can sleep soundly at night knowing my agent has a budget, not an open-ended credit card.
Armored Warrior (Built for Speed) (Because Bots Don't
I also discovered that humans are slow, but bots work quickly. A normal block-chain is meant for human speeds—and it's no biggie for humans to wait 10-15 seconds for the block to get confirmed. However, if you are looking at the negotiation between two bots for either a trade or the supply chain of something, then they need to happen instantly.
Kite is also optimizing their Layer 1 solution for such machine-to-machine interactions. This is not about “Transactions Per Second” but about certainty. It is important for the agents to be certain that a trade happened so that it can activate the next process. Kite is ensuring such finality for these processes.
Devs Don’t Need to Relearn All New Things
I also appreciate the fact that Kite is made EVM-compatible.
If you’re a developer, you wouldn’t necessarily want to learn a completely new language for programming just to tinker with AI agents. You would like to work with what you already know. Kite helps by allowing you to stay with EVM. This means that what we’ll actually see is real applications being developed, not just models of applications that never make it out of the theoretical phase.
A Token That Grows Up
It is likely
I’m always leery about new tokens, but I like what the philosophy is behind $KITE. It’s not trying to force the heavy financialization from Day 1. This is for the bootstrapping, to incentivize the people who actually are trying to build the network and the agents.
Staking or complex governance models would be other issues to tackle later on, once the network is up and running. This is a more responsible rollout process. It helps to ensure that the incentives are tied to the maturity of the technology, as opposed to adding to the hype. The Bottom Line We are moving into a future where software is not only listening to us, but it is acting for us. “In this future, the answer isn’t 'Should AI use blockchain?' It’s 'How do we make it safe?'” Kite is what the answer to that question should look like. It’s not trying to be a “Ethereum Killer” or a generalized chain. It is a designed space for machines to conduct their business in a safe manner. It provides control, boundaries, and accountability. It doesn’t necessarily sound like the stuff of meme coins, but this is exactly the sort of boring but vital plumbing work that builds the future. If we’re serious about having an economy in which AI is something that helps us, not something that endangers us, then it is important that it has a Kite.
