Kite is gearing up for a fresh wave of innovation that could reshape how autonomous AI agents handle money. With a total supply of 10 billion KITE, the team is tightening the circulating pool to roughly 1.8 billion tokens, creating a tighter market for the growing demand from developers and users alike. To fuel that demand, Kite is rolling out a novel “Proof‑of‑Attributed‑Intelligence” (PoAI) mining mechanism. Instead of classic proof‑of‑work, agents earn KITE by contributing compute power, data, or verified interactions, turning every productive step into a reward.
The roadmap for the next quarter is packed. By late 2025, Kite will launch Agent‑Aware Multisig Modules that automate stipend payouts to AI agents, while a cross‑chain identity layer—powered by LayerZero—will let agents bridge seamlessly between Ethereum, Avalanche, and BNB Chain. Early 2026 will see the debut of the Agent Store, a marketplace where creators can deploy and monetize their own autonomous agents directly on the Kite network.
These moves are backed by a $33 million funding round led by General Catalyst and PayPal Ventures, underscoring confidence in Kite’s vision of a decentralized “agentic web.” If the supply stays disciplined and the PoAI incentives attract real agent activity, Kite could become the go‑to payment rail for the next generation of machine‑driven commerce.
