As someone who's been in crypto since the early days, I've seen plenty of projects promise to merge AI with blockchain, but most fall short on practical use cases. KITE Coin feels different it's not just hype; it's tackling the actual plumbing needed for AI agents to handle money independently.
The core innovation here is the programmable policies baked into the network.Developers can set rules for agents, like "only spend up to $100 on ads per day" or "require multi-agent approval for large transfers." This isn't possible on general chains without clunky smart contracts. With Kite's built-in governance tools it's straightforward reducing risks in an era where rogue AI could theoretically cause chaos.
Since going live in late 2025, the ecosystem has grown quietly but steadily. Developer activity is picking up, with SDKs making it easy to integrate agents from platforms like Grok or Claude. Rumors of integrations with major payment processors (beyond the Coinbase testing) could open doors to fiat on-ramps, making stablecoin flows even smoother.
Token-wise, with 1.8 billion in circulation out of 10 billion total, there's deflationary pressure from staking and fees. Daily volumes in the $50-60 million range show real liquidity, not just wash trading. Price stability around $0.08-0.09 in a volatile market speaks to growing confidence.
Challenges remain: Proving PoAI at scale and navigating regs around AI finance. But as agents handle more e-commerce and freelancing gigs, the need for a dedicated payment layer becomes obvious. KITE isn't flashy, but it could become essential infrastructure. I've added a small bag feels like buying Solana early for DeFi.
