Imagine a world where AI doesn’t just answer questions—it buys things, negotiates deals, and manages tasks all on its own. That’s the vision behind Kite, a next-generation blockchain built specifically for autonomous AI agents. Kite isn’t just another blockchain—it’s a network where machines can act as trusted economic participants, safely and instantly.
What Makes Kite Special?
Unlike traditional blockchains that focus on human users, Kite is built for AI to interact with AI. It lets software agents:
Make instant payments
Follow rules automatically
Work together seamlessly
Maintain secure, verifiable identities
Its native token, KITE, fuels these interactions, giving value to actions and decisions made by AI.
How Kite Works
Fast, Flexible, EVM-Compatible
Kite is a Layer-1 blockchain compatible with Ethereum smart contracts. Developers can use familiar tools, but Kite is optimized for real-time, low-cost transactions between AI agents, which regular blockchains struggle to handle.
Smart Identity Layers
Security and control are crucial. Kite separates identities into three layers:
1. User Identity – The human behind the AI agent
2. Agent Identity – The AI itself, acting autonomously
3. Session Identity – Temporary IDs for specific interactions
This setup ensures agents can operate independently without compromising security or human oversight.
Agent Passports
Kite gives each AI agent a cryptographically verifiable identity, called an Agent Passport. This ensures trust and accountability—every action an agent takes is traceable and rule-bound.
AI-Powered Payments
Kite allows AI agents to pay, negotiate, and trade automatically. Imagine an AI shopper buying components from another AI supplier, instantly paying the right amount, with no humans involved. Payments are fast, cheap, and secure, opening up a brand-new economy where machines transact at machine speed.
Programmable Rules and Governance
AI agents in Kite don’t act without limits. You can set rules like:
Spending limits
Task-specific restrictions
Time-bound permissions
These rules are enforced automatically by the blockchain, so agents follow your guidelines exactly, without errors or cheating.
The KITE Token: Fuel for the AI Economy
KITE powers the network in two phases:
Phase 1: Getting Started
Access to ecosystem features
Rewards for participation
Liquidity for services
Phase 2: Full Utility
Staking to secure the network
Voting on governance
Paying transaction and service fees
This gradual rollout makes the token useful from day one, while building long-term value.
What Can Kite Do?
Kite isn’t just theory it enables real-world AI applications:
AI Commerce – Agents can shop, negotiate, and pay autonomously.
Decentralized AI Services – Agents can buy APIs, data, or computing resources automatically.
Machine-Speed Collaboration – AI agents can coordinate logistics, finance, or workflows entirely on their own.
Backing and Momentum
Kite has raised over $33 million from major investors, including PayPal Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, and General Catalyst. This shows the world is taking autonomous AI seriously—and Kite is leading the charge.
Why Kite Matters
.
Kite is more than a blockchain—it’s the foundation of a future where AI agents are active, accountable participants in the economy. With secure identities, autonomous payments, and programmable rules, Kite opens the door to a digital world where machines don’t just follow orders—they think, act, and transact on their own.
