I started with simple agents that do one thing well,sweep yields, rebalance positions, arbitrage small gaps. But lately I’ve been playing with groups of them that actually talk to each other, and the difference is massive.
Kite makes that coordination dead simple. Because every agent has its own verifiable identity and programmable permissions, one agent can send instructions or data directly to another without needing a central middleman or offchain relay. It’s just a native transaction from agent A to agent B with a payload.
My current setup has a scout agent watching funding rates across multiple venues. When it spots a juicy opportunity, it doesn’t execute itself, it pings a dedicated execution agent that has the right collateral and session keys. The execution agent checks the parameters, signs off, and runs the trade. Whole thing happens in seconds, all onchain.
The scout never touches money, so it can be riskier with its scanning logic. The executor is locked down tight,only allowed to act on scout signals that match pre approved rules. If the scout gets phished or goes rogue, the executor ignores bad instructions because they don’t fit the policy.
I added a third agent that monitors the whole workflow for anomalies. If the scout sends too many signals in a short window or the executor starts rejecting everything, the monitor agent pauses the pair and notifies me. It’s like having an internal auditor that never sleeps.
The beauty is how lightweight the communication is. No need for expensive oracles to verify state, just direct message passing with signatures. Gas stays low because these are small, targeted txs instead of broadcasting everything publicly.
Other teams are doing crazier stuff: fleets of agents that bid on shared resources, negotiate yield splits, or even delegate tasks dynamically. One group I follow has agents that collaborate to run a mini liquidity pool,some provide capital, others optimize routing, another handles rebalancing. All coordinated natively without a single smart contract holding everything.
The three layer identity model shines here. Root owners stay completely out of the loop for routine operations. Agents talk to agents, sessions rotate, and nothing persists longer than it needs to. Even if one agent gets compromised, the blast radius is tiny because it can’t impersonate others or hold permanent power.
As more people deploy autonomous capital, single agents will hit limits fast. Real alpha comes from teams of them working together, scouting, executing, monitoring, hedging. Kite gives you the tools to build that collaboration layer without reinventing the wheel.
If you’re still running lone agents, try linking two or three that play different roles. The efficiency gains and risk separation are night and day. This is where the agent economy starts feeling like a real network instead of isolated bots.
