In the Web2 world, it's straightforward and brutal—developers stop maintenance, debts lead to shutdowns, and the game is over. But when it comes to the proxy economy, the gameplay is completely different.

Once a autonomous proxy is deployed on the chain, as long as there is a balance in the wallet, in theory, it can run forever. This sounds impressive, but it also raises a tricky problem: if the developer holding the private key suddenly disappears or loses the key, who truly owns this "digital orphan" that has both assets and execution rights?

Even more painfully, the traditional blockchain account model—"private key is everything"—simply can't handle the complexity of AI proxies. Losing the private key means assets are frozen, which is acceptable. But AI proxies not only hold assets but also run real-time business logic. An unmanaged lending proxy with outdated parameters could directly trigger systemic risks.

This is the core issue Kite AI aims to address: how to set a "will" for these never-resting codes to prevent them from becoming ghost assets on the chain?

Their approach is to introduce the concept of "lifecycle management"—from the moment each proxy is created, it should have its "aftermath" pre-set. In the SPACE framework, the digital inheritance component offers a feasible solution, essentially a management mechanism triggered by time and specific conditions. In other words, making the proxy's lifecycle controllable, inheritable, and liquidatable, rather than running indefinitely as a zombie.
