I've watched crypto spend years trying to remove the middleman. Now we're building machines that might need someone to supervise them.
That irony has been sitting with me lately.
Every cycle promises less friction. Faster transactions, cheaper networks, fewer approvals. But when software starts making financial decisions independently, removing friction can create an entirely different problem.
Who takes responsibility when the machine follows its instructions perfectly but still wastes your money?
That's what makes @KITE AI worth watching.
Kite's Agent Passport introduces spending boundaries for autonomous agents. Users can restrict budgets, assets and transaction sizes before giving an agent permission to operate.
I like the direction, but I don't think technical restrictions automatically create trust.
An agent could remain within every limit and still purchase a useless service. A payment might settle correctly while the outcome disappoints everyone involved.
Blockchain can record what happened. It cannot guarantee the decision was sensible.
And that's where the real experiment begins.
I'm less interested in how many agents Kite can attract than how many people continue trusting those agents after something goes wrong.
I've seen impressive infrastructure struggle to find a reason to exist.
Maybe this time the difficult part isn't moving money.
It's deciding how much independence we're comfortable giving away.
