Sometimes you will find that developers in the Discord group are particularly enthusiastic, no longer entangled in whether to go on exchanges, but instead focusing on sharing various integration tips and code snippets for Kite. This atmosphere is quite rare. Moreover, recently, many people have directly set up proxies on Kite to collaborate in the market, essentially splitting a task among different agents and even automating payments. This started off as scattered test transfers, but now we can see a continuous flow of small payments every day, feeling a bit like there is some real 'business' vibe.
Ultimately, what Kite is doing now is just laying the groundwork in the AI and cryptocurrency circles. It's like when cloud computing first emerged; no one was clear on what it could do, just that it was convenient. But slowly, people began to use it for running websites, storing data, and even integrating big data analysis, leading to a growing ecosystem. Now Kite has provided everyone with these 'underlying facilities': for example, allowing models to automatically handle payments, simplifying identity verification, and customizing revenue-sharing logic. A large portion of users are completely unaware, but as long as any project can really make or spend money, there is likely Kite supporting it behind the scenes.
To be more specific, you will encounter some quite awkward problems. For example, payments at the level of $0.01 are usually easily impacted by gas fees when cross-chain, but Kite has solved this — it's completely as hardcore as paying for water, electricity, and gas; with just one API call, micro-payments and revenue sharing are fully automated. I heard about a team that wanted to share the AI reasoning costs according to usage with end-users, and after using Kite, they completely saved the step of manual bookkeeping, without needing to prepare any intermediate ledgers; people just pay according to their usage.
The identity layer used to be very academic, and in the past, everyone felt a headache just listening to it. There is a three-tier identity structure: user - agent - session, but many quantitative teams have already used it for permission control. For example, agents can only operate within a specified limit, and cooldown times are hardcoded, no longer relying on 'trust models' to fool people, but directly preventing errant transfers through logic, which is much more reassuring.
What's even more amazing is that the income model for independent model trainers has changed. In the past, she relied solely on tips or subscriptions, which were hard to stabilize. After using Kite, she can clarify the source of money for each call to her model, and the wallet automatically collects payments. When someone uses the model for commercial purposes, she doesn't have to chase accounts; the whole process is automated. This way, she feels much more at ease than before.
The gameplay of node operators has also changed. Previously, they focused on annualized returns, but now many people are setting up penalty mechanisms and modifying verification logic on the PoAI test network. Why is that? Because their agency business is running on this network, and they want the whole system to be reliable, so they simply design security rules themselves, aligning their interests completely with the ecosystem.
To be fair, things like Kite are not very flashy; it's just a group of people focused on solving specific problems, not talking about tokens, and they don't default to grand visions; they are all about real needs. If you want to find something like 'decentralized OpenAI,' you won't find it. They want to figure out how agents can prove their identity without being impersonated, and they want to make income distribution transparent for contributors without subjective manipulation. These functions seem plain, but are they important? The key is that no one wants to stumble over these small matters, and using Kite makes it much easier to cross the threshold.
Although there are still risks, if there are vulnerabilities in identity verification, agents may be scammed, and the economic system could collapse directly. Those cross-chain expansions, to be honest, have not been tested at a larger scale yet. The team has been constantly engaging in a battle of wits, and with new features, they must prevent the complexity from skyrocketing; after all, most projects that have failed in the market have done so because they complicated things themselves.
In short, if you have done something similar yourself, I really recommend that you not just focus on coin prices, but go check out Kite on GitHub; there are many practical tools hidden there. Technical players understand that the code that can run here is much more reliable than a thousand utopian ideas on the market.
