$KITE & PoAI: Why Anti-Sybil Design Decides the Future of Agent Economies đĄď¸đ¤
@KITE AI understands a hard truth: when you reward contribution, you donât just attract builders â you attract factories. The biggest risk isnât stolen funds, itâs mass-produced âusefulnessâ flooding the system until real work gets priced out.
Thatâs why Kite treats attribution as a security problem, not a metric.
PoAI turns agent activity into value, and anything measurable can be gamed. The cheapest attack isnât breaking consensus â itâs spamming the scoring layer with thousands of disposable identities. Kite counters this with two core defenses:
đ Exponential Decay
Repetition stops paying. The first contribution matters. The 10th pays less. The 100th pays almost nothing. Scale alone no longer wins â only genuine, high-signal novelty does.
â ď¸ Slashing
Dishonesty isnât free. Fake performance, broken promises, or low-quality services carry real costs: reputation loss, reduced permissions, and economic penalties. Trust becomes slow to earn and fast to lose.
The result?
Honest participation compounds. Manipulation grinds down over time.
In an agent economy, compute isnât scarce â credibility is. Kite is building for that reality.
