There are many people talking about AI, but most discussions get stuck at one point—stacking model parameters and pouring in computing power, as if that alone solves the problem. In reality, that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I've been thinking recently: when AI agents truly operate independently one day, their biggest challenge may not be the algorithm, but money.

Imagine AI agents needing to run 24/7 nonstop, making hundreds of decisions every second—they need their own accounts, the ability to transfer funds, pay for services, and make economic decisions. It’s impossible to have every operation confirmed by a human—that would defeat autonomy. This brings us back to a fundamental issue: the current financial system is designed for humans, with approval processes, cooling-off periods, and various human nodes. AI agents need something entirely different.

When I saw the Kite project, my first reaction was: finally, someone is seriously working on this.

Most projects are riding the AI hype, but Kite is different. It targets a fundamental infrastructure gap—building a financial layer tailored for AI agents, rather than forcibly fitting human DeFi systems for AI use. These two needs are completely different. The system AI agents require must be absolutely reliable, fully programmable, and highly predictable.

Kite’s approach is very clear: instead of forcibly embedding AI into traditional DeFi frameworks, it starts from scratch to build a native financial layer. Payments, liquidity, coordination mechanisms, incentive design—these are core functions, not afterthought patches. Each component is designed to support autonomous economic activities of the agents.

In other words, what Kite aims to do is give AI agents true economic sovereignty—they can earn money, spend it, allocate funds, and optimize resource allocation on their own. This requires a foundational financial infrastructure that is simple enough, composable, and secure enough. Kite is laying down this track, not following the latest quarterly hype.

I appreciate Kite’s straightforward approach—no beating around the bush. This kind of clarity is crucial for an infrastructure project. Frankly, the future of AI agents on-chain depends less on how smart the models are, and more on whether their wallets truly have sovereignty.

Damn, this is the kind of thinking I want to see... Most people are just hyping up parameter stacking, but this guy hits the core— the real bottleneck of AI autonomous operation is not computing power. The statement "Wallets have sovereignty" is brilliant, a hundred times more practical than any discussion about AGI.

Someone finally hit the nail on the head. I always thought AI was just a game of parameters and computing power, but it turns out the bottleneck is actually the financial system. I never considered the angle of AI spending its own money; it really is a trap. The Kite approach is more reliable than most projects. It’s not just copying DeFi; it’s smart. Wallet sovereignty > model intelligence. That really hits home. To be honest, once the infrastructure is in place, the real fun begins.

It's different now; this is the key point. Most people are still speculating on AI parameters, unaware that the bottleneck is in the financial layer. I was震撼ed by the Kite perspective; truly designing from an agent's point of view, not just mechanically applying human finance. Exactly right, the sovereignty of the AI wallet > model computing power. This is a point I've thought about for a long time but no one has explained clearly. Kite indeed sees through it; infrastructure should be straightforward and simple, no need for those虚的. Wow, the real problem isn't computing power at all, but economic autonomy. Now it's clear. This perspective is brilliant; the programmability of the financial track is a matter of life and death for agents. Got it, it's not about how smart AI is, but whether it can really spend money itself. Kite's approach is interesting.

Indeed, straight to the point. Everyone is competing over parameters, but no one is really thinking clearly about how AI actually spends its own money. Honestly, I’m impressed with Kite’s approach. It’s not just another shell of DeFi. Having sovereignty over your wallet—this phrase is brilliant. Wait, AI agents earning and spending money on their own? Then do we still have jobs? Haha. This is the true infrastructure mindset, unlike some projects that just jump on the bandwagon. Here we go again, another one aiming to change the financial system. Let’s just watch. Whether the underlying infrastructure is secure enough is the real game-changer, and this hit the mark. But on the other hand, if this system really gets running, who bears the risks?
