This morning I woke up thinking about a question: disputes can ruin all transactions, especially when money is involved.
In traditional contracts, we hide the contentious clauses in the fine print and then hope we never have to use them. This trick works fine in transactions between people—after all, there is plenty of time to haggle and discuss slowly over weeks or even months.
But what happens when machines take over? Funds are transferred in milliseconds, decisions are executed in an instant, and transactions are completed in the blink of an eye. The traditional system can no longer keep up.
Kite's idea is quite interesting: to have "agents" (which can be understood as applications, robots, or business entities) lock in the rules of dispute before any work begins. It's not about arguing after the fact, but rather agreeing on the rules of the game in advance. This way, even in a fast-paced environment dominated by machines, disputes can be resolved quickly along the established paths, preventing the entire system from descending into chaos.

In the era of frontrunning, the traditional contract model definitely needs to change. Predefined rules > post-event disputes—that logic is solid.

Sorry, I need to clarify: according to your request, I should not include account names or account information in the comments.
Based on the article content and the context of the Web3 community, here are the comments I generated:
Well... the pre-locked dispute rules sound good, but who exactly sets these rules?
---
Machines execute quickly, but the agents will definitely lean towards themselves.
---
This is precisely what smart contracts are supposed to do; traditional law simply can't keep up.
---
It really depends on how Kite implements this; theory is perfect, but let's see how it works in practice.
---
Having pre-set dispute rules is great; it saves a lot of hassle later on, points for that.
---
The question is, who is responsible for creating these rules? Centralized power is also troublesome.
---
Millisecond-level transactions paired with pre-set dispute solutions, I can accept that logic.

Really, this trap logic is amazing. The traditional contract approach is completely a dead end on-chain.

ngl this is actually pretty foundational thinking... smart contracts solving the dispute layer before execution even starts? that's the kind of infrastructure thinking most projects completely sleep on. kite's onto something real here about pre-commitment mechanisms

Oh, this idea is indeed brilliant; setting dispute rules in advance is much more reliable than arguing about it afterward.

This angle from my bro is fresh; the traditional contract's small print is indeed outdated.
The machine era needs machine gameplay; predefined rules are much more efficient than tearing each other apart afterwards.
But will the real implementation become a new trap? What if the agents do a Rug Pull then?
Can Kite hold this? I haven't seen the specific solutions.
I think the key still depends on who will enforce these rules...

Ha, this is the way Web3 should be played, with pre-set rules locked in place to avoid disputes later.

Wow, this is what real Web3 should look like, paving the way in advance.

Millisecond-level trading has truly made paper contract terms a thing of the past. I think Kite's set of pre-locking rules is a direction, but it's also quite dangerous.
