Imagine an artificial intelligence agent acting as your personal financial scout. It finds opportunities in the market, checks everything, and closes the deal using a stablecoin - all without you lifting a finger. This is the daily world that Kait is building. AI is no longer just an assistant. With Kait, these agents have their own blockchain, filled with the tools they need to manage business themselves. As machines start taking on more and more economic roles, Kait keeps transactions secure and transparent, always leaving room for human oversight. This makes Kait an essential part of the growing agent-driven economy.
Kite operates as an EVM-compatible Layer 1 network. This means developers can use familiar Ethereum tools, but they also get AI-optimized enhancements. The integration is simple, but the real power of Kite lies in speed and real-time coordination. Block times are less than a second, thanks to a proof-of-stake model that actually rewards validators for supporting AI - not just for maintaining network security, but also for providing computing power for AI tasks. Take the Ozone Testnet: it is already handling over a million interactions per day. Agents can process thousands of small payments at once, without any slowdown.
Security starts with a three-layer identity system. Users keep private keys at the core, delegating specific authorities to agents through cryptographic passports - such as setting transaction limits or approved partners. Agents then create session keys for specific functions, and these keys automatically expire, thus containing any breach. Smart rules allow users to set advanced conditions - perhaps banning trades during volatile markets or requiring extra checks for large amounts. For trading agents, this means they can swap assets like USDC, prove their identity on-chain, and adhere to the rules, with a clear audit trail to maintain security.
Agents in Kite work together like a team of digital professionals, following "intentions" that outline what they need to do. An inventory agent might manage stock, predict needs using oracle data, and pay for supplies using stablecoins held in escrow accounts. Their reputation increases directly on-chain with every successful transaction, unlocking better partnerships. In logistics, for example, a shipping agent can coordinate work with warehouses, verify deliveries, and initiate payments in PYUSD as soon as proof arrives - no intermediaries, just faster global work. Units like UnifAI take this further, allowing finance agents to chase yields across protocols, with built-in security checks.
Kite's stablecoin system supports continuous trading. USDC, for instance, flows through efficient settlement channels - microtransactions are batched off-chain to reduce costs, then the main states are settled on the blockchain for less than a cent in fees. Flowing payments become easy, so an agent can pay for AI services by the second or by computing. Builders can create marketplaces where agents find services, negotiate, and trade - even modern zero-knowledge proof integrations add privacy. It remains cheap and predictable for users, while validators share ecosystem rewards.
The KITE token keeps everything running. There is a strict maximum of 10 billion tokens, set for long-term value. The utility comes in two waves. Since its launch in November 2025, phase one focuses on engaging people: you need KITE to access the units, and liquidity providers earn rewards for establishing new markets. Over 17 million passports for agents have already been issued. Phase two, coming with the mainnet, adds staking for verification rewards, governance votes, and a share of commissions from AI services. Nearly half of the supply goes to community initiatives, keeping contributors motivated. With $33 million in funding - including $18 million from a large Series A in September 2025 - the model is built for scaling: the more agents that join, the more everyone benefits.
The agency economy is expected to reach trillions. Kite arrives at the right time, after a major listing on Binance saw hundreds of millions in trading. Builders get a new platform to launch AI ideas. Users enjoy automation without intervention. And now traders in the Binance crowd have a token directly tied to this growth.
