Most DeFi protocols assume someone is watching the screen.
Watching collateral ratios.
Watching incentives decay.
Watching liquidity leave.
That assumption breaks the moment capital is managed by software instead of people.
Kite exists because autonomous systems don’t panic, don’t rotate farms, and don’t manually unwind risk. They either survive by design—or fail all at once.
Kite treats identity as containment, not branding.
Liquidity as operational capital, not bait.
Borrowing as balance-sheet management, not leverage.
It accepts inefficiency to avoid forced selling.
It limits authority to prevent total loss.
It chooses predictability over growth hacks.
This isn’t DeFi optimized for yield.
It’s financial infrastructure optimized for endurance.
If autonomous agents are going to matter, the systems they rely on can’t depend on constant human rescue.
Quiet protocols outlast loud cycles.
