I've been around crypto long enough to watch plenty of big narratives come and go. Usually, the idea sounds great long before the boring problems show up.

AI agents paying for things feels like one of those ideas that could actually matter. But then I keep coming back to the uncomfortable questions. Who gave the agent permission? How much can it spend? What happens when it gets something wrong? And who takes the hit?

That's what made Kite catch my attention. Agent Passport gives agents an identity and a funded USDC wallet, while adding things like spending limits, session approval and expiry. I like that the focus isn't just on making agents autonomous, but putting some boundaries around that autonomy.

I'm still not fully convinced, though. I've seen infrastructure projects look impressive early on and then struggle with the details that actually matter. Fees, reliability, security, documentation—none of that sounds exciting, but once real money is involved, it becomes the whole story.

I'm not sure where Kite ends up. But something about this feels different enough that I'm paying attention.

Moving money is easy. Making sure an AI moves it for the right reason is the hard part.
