Imagine that your AI assistant not only chats but can also shop, compare prices, place orders, and make payments all without your intervention. This is no longer a sci-fi scenario, but the AI agent economy that KITE is building.
At the new frontier where artificial intelligence meets blockchain, KITE (Kite AI) is sparking a revolution. As the first blockchain designed specifically for AI payments, KITE provides a complete economic infrastructure for autonomous AI agents.
01 What is KITE? The foundational cornerstone of the AI agent economy
KITE is a Layer-1 blockchain designed specifically for the AI agent economy, dedicated to providing infrastructure for autonomous AI agents in terms of identity, payments, governance, and verification.
Unlike traditional blockchains, KITE introduces an innovative artificial intelligence proof consensus mechanism that can track contributions from data, AI models, and agent interactions, ensuring transparency and fairness.
This project has received support from heavyweight investment institutions including PayPal Ventures, General Catalyst, and Samsung, with total financing reaching $33 million, demonstrating strong market confidence in its innovative model.
02 Core Technology: Making Autonomous Consumption by Machines Possible
KITE's core breakthrough lies in encapsulating complex economic capabilities within the blockchain's underlying layer.
Through the KitePass identity system, each AI agent has a verifiable encrypted identity, clearly defining its permissions and budget limits.
With near-zero transaction fees and an average block time of 1 second, KITE supports AI agents in high-frequency microtransactions that traditional blockchains cannot achieve.
KITE natively integrates Coinbase's x402 payment standard, allowing AI agents to pay, retry, and settle directly from wallets without the need for API keys or billing accounts.
03 Application Scenarios: From Daily Life to Industrial Transformation
KITE's application prospects are broad and profound.
In daily life, your AI assistant can autonomously order coffee, book flights, purchase groceries, and find the best options within budget.
At the industrial level, KITE supports medical data trading, AI model services, and decentralized AI collaboration.
For example, its ecological project Codatta has established a decentralized medical data market, ensuring that data sources are verifiable and usage is traceable.
The KITE agent application store has integrated 36 services, covering platforms like Shopify and Uber, allowing merchants to be discovered by consumers and complete on-chain settlements through AI agents.
As AI agents evolve from 'chatting' to 'trading', the identity, payment, and governance infrastructure provided by KITE will become the trust foundation of the machine economy.
In the future, when your AI assistant shops online autonomously, enterprise AI automatically purchases, and data agents trade independently, it is likely running on the agent internet built by KITE.
