One of the biggest problems with automation is trust. If an AI agent can act exactly like a human wallet, small mistakes can turn into serious losses, and it becomes hard to know who is responsible.
Kite tackles this problem at the identity level.
Instead of using a single identity for everything, Kite separates users, agents, and sessions. The user identity belongs to the human and holds full authority. The agent identity is a worker that can only do what it’s allowed to do. Session identities are temporary and expire automatically.
This structure makes automation safer. An agent can’t slowly turn into the user or take more control than it should. It can only use the permissions it’s given, for the task it was created to handle.
For example, a trading agent might rebalance a portfolio within strict limits. A payment agent might release funds only when certain conditions are met. Every action is recorded and easy to audit.
By separating identity this way, Kite shows that strong automation doesn’t have to come at the cost of safety.
