In 2025, when the trading volume of automated agents (AI Agents) on-chain has fully surpassed that of human nodes, if you still think buying assets is just to profit from price increases, you may not have realized that the underlying power logic of the world has already shifted. If we compare the future AI world to a digital cyber city that is rising, the Kite token is not just a simple entry ticket; it is more like a 'tax exemption for carbon-based life against silicon-based civilization.'
We are in an extremely delicate window period. Over the past decade, we have participated in the transformation of financial distribution through ETH or BNB; and now, through Kite, we are participating in the pre-purchase of 'survival decision-making rights.'
Why use the term 'protection fee' that sounds slightly like something from the underworld?
In the traditional internet, you are the fuel for AI (providing data); in the current centralized AI, you are the tenant of AI (paying subscription fees); but in the decentralized AI ecosystem built by Kite, you must become the 'landlord' of AI.
From a technical architecture perspective, Kite addresses the trust deficit of the AI era. In the market environment of 2025, we face countless deep fakes and black box algorithms every day. Kite uses zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology to stamp each inference process of AI with an unalterable 'thought seal.' When an AI agent is looking for the optimal yield strategy for you, why should you trust that it hasn't been implanted with a backdoor by the developer? The validation layer provided by Kite serves as that security defense line. If you don't hold and stake Kite, the AI service you call may be nothing more than an unguaranteed 'digital blind box.'
From a deep analysis of the economic model, Kite's design logic lies in the 'right to allocate productivity.' By the end of 2025, AI will no longer be a tool but an economic entity with its own wallet address. These AI entities consume vast amounts of computational verification resources when executing automated arbitrage and liquidity management. The Kite token captures the surplus value created by these 'digital laborers.' Whenever an AI agent completes an efficient transaction on-chain, you, holding Kite, are like a shareholder in an automated factory from the old days, passively extracting commissions from the labor of these silicon-based workers.
Current data also supports this trend. According to on-chain data from Q4 2025, the number of active agents within the Kite ecosystem has grown by 340% since the beginning of the year, while its inference validation costs have been reduced by 60% through algorithm optimization. This typical 'Metcalfe's Law effect' is pushing Kite towards being a benchmark asset in the DeAI field.
However, we must clearly see the risks involved. While Kite is trying to break the computing monopoly of the giants, it faces the impact of hardware giants like NVIDIA directly intervening in the on-chain computing power market. In addition, the regulatory definition of 'AI sovereign assets' remains vague. If a global AI algorithm regulatory bill emerges in the future, decentralized validation protocols like Kite will be the first to face compliance challenges.
For current investors, my operational logic suggests: do not view Kite as a short-term meme, but as a long-term allocation in your personal 'digital sovereign fund.' Just like seizing shares in the power grid as the electrical era began.
There are two future indicators we need to observe: first, the integration depth of Kite's validation layer with mainstream Layer 2 (such as ZKsync); second, whether there are 'killer' AI financial agent applications within the ecosystem that can generate real positive cash flow.
The future has arrived, but it is unevenly distributed. When AI entities take over most of the social productivity in the near future, those who have paid the 'protection fee' in advance may transform from being ruled to being co-governors of this new civilization.
