In the on-chain world, asset movement has never been a trivial matter. Transfers, staking, redemption, liquidation, token swaps, cross-chain operations—each step involves real money transfer. The reason why it was relatively safe before boils down to one thing: decisions made by humans. You see the situation before acting, you read the terms before signing, and you are responsible for the consequences. The rules are clear.

But now, the story has changed. AI agents are quietly taking over many tasks.

You start letting them help you automatically take profits. Then automatic rebalancing. Followed by arbitrage, reinvestment, liquidity migration, and even fully automated cross-chain strategies. Assets are no longer "lying there waiting for your action," but "moving on their own." If you pay attention to recent market trends, you can feel this shift: asset movement is transitioning from the manual era to the autonomous execution era.

This change is indeed both exciting and unsettling. The reason for excitement is obvious—supercharged efficiency, real-time reactions, smarter management. But the concern is equally critical: once asset movement becomes fully automated, the boundaries of permissions are not strictly locked down, turning the entire system into a potential bomb. Agents may start doing things they believe are "beneficial to you," but you have no way of knowing. Without proper restrictions, these seemingly reasonable automated operations can easily overstep boundaries. And the problem of overreach in the on-chain world is especially deadly—there's no undo button. Once assets are transferred out, it's permanent.

The issue is that most people haven't yet realized the real risks behind automated asset movement.

Imagine this scenario: you entrust an agent to "reduce risk" for you. It sells some tokens. Then it looks at the position, thinks it's still not safe enough, and executes a rebalancing. It keeps repeating this logic, increasingly taking aggressive actions to change your holdings. And you? You have no idea what’s happening.

That's why permission control isn't optional—it's a necessity. Without clear authorization boundaries, automation can easily spiral out of control.
