If you imagine current AI as a group of explorers who have just learned to walk, most blockchains actually only provide them with a 'tourist map': they can look and point, but when it comes to acting independently, making decisions, paying, and taking responsibility? No.
And Kite is doing something entirely different.
It is not about giving AI a larger 'playground,' but about creating a complete set of long-term sustainable, tradable, and collaborative world rules for AI.
This is not a metaphor; this is a reality that is happening.
1. When AI no longer 'waits for instructions,' the real problems begin.
The past software world had a default premise:
Humans decide, machines execute.
So whether it's wallets, blockchains, or payment systems, the core design revolves around 'people':
Human signatures, human authorizations, human confirmations.
But now the situation has completely changed.
AI has already started:
Autonomously decompose tasks
Choose tools themselves
Proactively call API
Negotiate prices with other AIs
Automatically complete payments and settlements
Problems also explode in number:
👉 Who allows it to do this?
👉 How much can it spend?
👉 Whose fault is it if something goes wrong?
👉 Why should others trust it?
The vast majority of chains answer these questions with: don't ask for now.
Kite's answer is: we write these issues into the agreement.
2. Kite's core ambition: to give AI a set of 'survival rules'
Kite is not simply 'supporting AI applications',
Its goals are more direct and more ambitious:
Treat AI as true economic participants, not just tools.
This sounds like a slogan, but Kite is delivering it through engineering solutions.
1️⃣ Three-layer identity structure: making 'who is acting' clear at a glance
On Kite, there is no ambiguous 'what might one address be'.
It breaks down directly into three layers:
User (human): the ultimate responsible person, setting boundaries
Agent: an executor with an independent identity
Session: a strictly limited action window in terms of time, amount, and permissions
What does this mean?
Means one AI:
Can be authorized
Can be held accountable
Can be audited
Can be restricted
It is no longer a black box script, but an economic entity with an ID card, a permission card, and a consumption limit.
This step directly addresses the most challenging issue in the AI economy: responsibility attribution.
3. After identity comes a more difficult step: letting machines 'pay for themselves'
If identity is the premise, then payment is the true watershed.
In the real world, most of the costs of AI are 'small but frequent':
A few cents per inference
A few cents per API call
One data access for a moment
The Gas mechanism of traditional blockchain is almost fatal here.
Kite's approach is very radical and very clever:
Introducing x402 / x402b payment standards
Support for no Gas or nearly imperceptible micropayment experience
Allow transactions to happen first, then settle, then summarize
What does this mean?
It means AI can:
Pay as you use
Pay per use
Real-time settlement
Not being choked to death by fees
This is not about optimizing experience, it's about opening the door to commercialization.
4. Why is Kite not an 'AI concept chain', but an engineering monster?
Many projects like to shout 'We support AI',
But Kite chose a harder path: run the data first, then tell the story.
In the testnet phase:
Hundreds of millions of agent calls
Tens of millions of transactions
Large-scale concurrent sessions
Stable operation for a long time
The meaning of these numbers is not 'popularity', but three things:
Can the architecture hold up?
Is the network scalable
Is it close to a production environment
In other words:
Kite is one of the few projects that have been slapped in the face by 'real load' but haven't fallen.
This is very rare in the blockchain world.
5. From isolated agents to the execution layer of a 'machine society'
The truly impressive part is:
Kite does not want AI to fight individually.
What it wants is a scenario—
AI can recognize, trust, and settle with each other.
One agent calls another agent's service
Automatically negotiate prices
Automatically execute
Automatic payment
Automatically leave an audit trail
This is no longer an 'application', but a new type of economic network.
And Kite is becoming the default execution layer of this network.
6. Why can we 'blindly believe'?
To put it bluntly:
AI autonomy is a definite trend
Transactions between AIs are bound to happen
Transactions must involve identity, rules, and payments
And Kite just happens to stand at the intersection of these three.
It is not driven by emotion, nor by hype narratives,
But rather push forward with engineering density + standards first + real load.
While others are still discussing 'Can AI go on-chain',
Kite is already answering:
'When AI becomes an economic entity, how should the world operate?'
Conclusion:
If you imagine the future as a world composed of agents, then Kite is neither a castle, nor a store, nor even a road.
It is more like a combination of laws, currency, and coordinate systems.
You may temporarily not see its hustle and bustle,
But all the truly necessary things that will happen,
Eventually, it will all come to it.
This is the most worthy place to bet.
