In the current era of rapid development in artificial intelligence, Kite, as the world's first AI payment blockchain platform, is leading a revolution in the agency economy. Its core is to build an Agentic Network—a discovery and listing system designed specifically for AI agents, allowing users to complete operations like shopping, ordering groceries, hailing a ride, or buying gifts without leaving their familiar services. By simply entering the command '$ kite create', users can create and deploy agents to achieve seamless interaction with various services.
What makes Kite unique is its innovative three-layer identity system: separating users, agents, and sessions in design. This architecture significantly enhances security and control— the user layer handles human identity verification, the agent layer grants AI entities verifiable encrypted identities, ensuring traceability and source credibility, while the session layer manages temporary interactions to prevent data leakage at the source. This layered architecture not only aligns with the decentralized principles of blockchain but also provides a programmable governance framework for AI agents. Agents can make autonomous decisions based on preset rules, such as setting spending limits and delegation permissions, thereby operating safely in complex 'wild' environments.
From a technical perspective, Kite is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 network that employs a new Proof of Artificial Intelligence (PoAI) consensus mechanism. Unlike traditional PoW or PoS, PoAI drives network growth through AI contributions, ensuring the sustainability of the ecosystem. The network supports instant, machine-native value transfers, with transaction fees nearly zero, creating an ideal environment for negotiations and service payments between AI agents. Imagine AI agents autonomously discovering services, negotiating prices, and completing transactions without human intervention—this will completely disrupt traditional e-commerce and payment systems, ushering in a truly autonomous digital economy.
Kite's operational data is impressive: transaction fees are below 0.000001 USD, confirmation time is just 1 second, over 1.01 million transactions have been processed, with a total transaction value reaching 1.7 billion USD, supporting over 100 types of agents, and the user base has surpassed 17.8 million. These figures vividly reflect its efficiency and scalability. As the platform's native token, KITE serves two phases: the first phase focuses on ecological incentives, encouraging developers to build agents; the second phase introduces staking, governance, and fee functionalities, further binding community interests.
In practical applications, Kite's Agent Store is like an AI supermarket where users can browse and deploy various agents. For instance, shopping agents can automatically compare prices and place orders based on user preferences, while gift agents can intelligently recommend and complete payments. This innovation not only enhances user experience but also provides developers with a toolbox to build 'super agents', including features like encrypted identities, governance modules, and stablecoin integration.
Looking to the future, Kite deeply integrates AI with blockchain to create an agent-driven economy. This is not only a technological advancement but also a social transformation—businesses can use Kite to optimize their supply chains, and individuals can enjoy smarter life services. However, challenges also arise, mainly in regulatory adaptation and privacy protection, and Kite needs to continuously iterate to ensure compliance. With the popularization of AI agents, Kite is expected to become the backbone of the digital economy, driving the transition from Web2 to Web3.
In summary, Kite's Agentic Network is far from a simple tool; it is a gateway to the agent economy. With its professional tech stack and innovative design, it endows AI with true autonomy, making it worthy of attention from every tech practitioner.
