AI agents are becoming more autonomous—but without the right financial rails, they can’t truly operate on their own. Kite is built to solve that gap. Think of Kite as an engineer designing blockchain infrastructure specifically for agentic payments, where autonomous AI agents can transact securely, follow rules, and coordinate actions without constant human input.
At its core, Kite is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain optimized for real-time transactions. This allows developers to use familiar Ethereum tooling while enabling fast execution and smooth coordination between AI agents. The network is designed not just for simple transfers, but for continuous agent-to-agent interactions where speed and reliability matter.
Identity is a key pillar of Kite’s design. The platform introduces a three-layer identity system that separates users, agents, and sessions. Users retain ultimate ownership, agents operate with clearly defined permissions, and sessions limit scope and duration. This structure strengthens security while giving fine-grained control over what each agent is allowed to do.
Kite also enables programmable governance at the protocol level. Autonomous agents can interact with smart contracts under predefined rules, ensuring predictable and verifiable behavior on-chain. This opens the door to use cases like AI-powered services, automated subscriptions, real-time negotiations, and coordinated multi-agent workflows.
The KITE token powers the ecosystem through a phased utility model. In the first phase, KITE is used for ecosystem participation and incentive programs, helping bootstrap network activity. In the second phase, staking, governance, and fee-related functions are introduced, aligning long-term token holders with the network’s growth and stability.
As the agent economy evolves, Kite positions itself as foundational infrastructure. By combining real-time execution, verifiable identity, and programmable governance, it turns autonomous AI agents into active, reliable participants in the on-chain economy.
