Most blockchain payment systems are built with one assumption in mind.
A human is always the one making the decision.
That assumption quietly breaks the moment autonomous AI agents enter the picture.
Agents don’t wait for confirmations.
They don’t pause for approvals.
They operate continuously, across systems, and at machine speed.
Traditional payment rails were never designed for that reality.
Kite stands out because it starts from this problem instead of working around it.
It is not just another EVM-compatible chain. It is a Layer 1 built specifically for agentic payments, where autonomous agents can transact, coordinate, and operate under verifiable identity and programmable governance.
The three-layer identity model is especially important. Separating users, agents, and sessions reduces risk while preserving autonomy, something most systems fail to balance.
What I find most compelling is that governance and control are embedded into execution itself. Rules are not enforced after the fact.
They are enforced by design.
As AI systems become economically active, payment infrastructure will either adapt or become a bottleneck.
Kite feels like an early attempt to build that missing layer, quietly, structurally, and with long-term intent.
