If you’ve been doom-scrolling crypto Twitter lately, you’ve probably seen the usual suspects pumping: meme coins with dogs, frogs, or whatever animal hasn’t been used yet, layer-2s promising 100k TPS that still feel slow, and perpetual protocols that somehow keep printing money. Meanwhile, one project has been quietly stacking wins without the circus, and most people still haven’t noticed. That project is Kite AI, trading under $KITE.
Let’s get the obvious out of the way first: yes, another AI narrative coin in late 2025 sounds like the most overcooked theme since DeFi summer 2020. Except this one actually ships useful stuff instead of vaporware whitepapers. @GoKiteAI didn’t launch with a fairytale roadmap and a cartoon mascot. They dropped a working on-chain trading terminal that lets you plug any LLM you want, route orders through multiple chains at once, and execute everything with one click. No copying wallet addresses, no switching networks twenty times, no praying MEV bots don’t front-run you into oblivion. You just type “buy 5000 SOL worth of $KITE if it breaks 0.00068” in plain English and the agent does the rest.
That alone would already be cool, but the real hook is the revenue share. Every trade executed through the Kite terminal pays a tiny fee in $KITE, half of which gets burned and the other half distributed pro-rata to stakers. Translation: the token isn’t just a governance meme, it literally accrues value the more people use the actual product. In a market where 95% of volume still happens on centralized exchanges that take 0.1% per swap and give you nothing back, a decentralized terminal that pays you to route through it feels almost too logical.
Numbers don’t lie either. Since mainnet launch three months ago, daily active agents have gone from a few hundred to north of 18k. That’s not TikTok-driven retail frenzy; that’s mostly small proprietary trading firms and power users who got tired of paying for TradingView premium and three different RPC providers. The terminal now routes roughly 1.2% of all Solana DEX volume on any given day, and that slice keeps growing because every time someone new tries it, switching back to the old way feels like going from a Tesla to a 1998 Civic.
Tokenomics are refreshingly sane too. Total supply capped at 10 billion, 42% went to liquidity and burned the keys on day one, another 30% locked in four-year vesting for the team (yes, actually locked, you can check the contracts), and the rest split between early community and ecosystem fund. No shady Saudi princes, no 5% marketing wallets that keep dumping. The chart looks boring on purpose, slow grind up with lower and lower sell pressure each week as more tokens get staked for that juicy revenue share.
The part that actually excites me is what’s coming next. They just teased “Agent Market” where anyone will be able to list their own fine-tuned trading agents and charge subscription fees in $KITE. Think of it like an App Store but for autonomous trading strategies. Some kid in Vietnam who figured out the perfect mean-reversion play on pump.fun launches could rent his agent to 5000 people and make more money than most junior devs at Coinbase. That’s the type of flywheel that turns a good tool into something impossible to displace.
Look, I’m not here to shill you into aping your rent money. The market cap still sits under 180 million while half the projects above it have nothing but a Telegram group and a promise. If you’ve been waiting for something that actually makes sense in this casino, maybe stop refreshing the dog coin leaderboard for a minute and take a look at @GoKiteAI.
The terminal is free to try, the contracts are open source, and the token is $KITE. Worst case, you waste ten minutes setting up a new trading toy that might actually be better than whatever you’re using now. Best case, you catch something early that people will kick themselves for missing when every trader on crypto Twitter is running a Kite agent in 2026.
Either way, it’s probably worth a glance before the rest of the timeline figures it out.
