Imagine a digital world where AI agents work for you like personal assistants—but with their own wallets. They can buy, sell, negotiate, and pay for services on your behalf without slowing down. That’s exactly what Kite is building.
As AI becomes smarter and more independent, it needs a reliable way to handle money and coordinate with other agents. Kite fills that gap. It’s a blockchain designed specifically for AI agents, combining the trust and transparency of blockchain with the speed and intelligence of AI. In simple terms, Kite acts as the financial backbone that lets AI agents operate safely and efficiently in the real economy.
Kite is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, so developers can use familiar tools without starting from scratch. At the same time, it adds features built for AI—like state channels that allow ultra-fast and low-cost transactions. The network runs on Proof-of-Stake, but with a twist: validators are also rewarded for supporting AI-related workloads. This keeps the network secure while making sure agents can operate smoothly. After launching on Binance Launchpool in November 2025, Kite quickly gained traction, showing strong demand for AI-powered applications.
At the heart of Kite is a three-layer identity system designed for safety and control. Users always keep the master keys. They can delegate limited authority to AI agents using cryptographic “passports,” setting clear rules like spending limits or time restrictions. For each task, agents create temporary session keys that automatically expire, reducing risk if something goes wrong. Governance is programmable too—agents can earn more responsibility over time based on performance, or trigger extra approvals when tasks become more sensitive.
This setup works perfectly for real-world use cases. For example, in freelance payments, an AI agent can verify contractor identities on-chain, release stablecoin payments when milestones are confirmed by oracles, and keep a transparent record of everything—without breaking any user-defined rules.
Kite also makes it easy for agents to work together. They use “intents”, which are pre-approved instructions from users, to handle complex workflows. An agent managing a supply chain can predict demand, source materials from other agents, and complete payments automatically. Reputation scores help ensure only reliable agents are trusted. In e-commerce, agents can even team up to negotiate bulk purchases, secure better prices, and settle payments instantly with stablecoins—saving time and money compared to traditional systems.
Stablecoins are a core feature, not an add-on. Kite supports assets like USDC, enabling fast and cheap payments. Small transactions are handled off-chain and only finalized on-chain when needed, keeping fees extremely low—often less than a cent. This makes Kite ideal for streaming payments, where agents pay continuously for data, services, or compute. Developers can also launch marketplaces for AI agent services, making discovery and payments seamless. With cross-chain support, agents can interact with other blockchains without compromising security.
The KITE token ties everything together. Its launch happens in two phases. First, early contributors—like developers and liquidity providers—are rewarded to help grow the ecosystem. This sparked strong activity right after launch. Later, staking becomes central: token holders can delegate KITE to validators, earn a share of network fees, and vote on protocol upgrades. Revenue earned by AI agents is partially converted back into KITE, helping maintain steady demand across the fixed 10 billion token supply.
All incentives are aligned. Validators secure the network and earn rewards, users benefit from low fees and reliable performance, and token holders help guide the network’s future. The result is a self-sustaining ecosystem where real AI activity drives real economic value.
