Price $KITE $0.0893, -0.78% — the chart is resting after rising, and you know what? I'm also sitting here thinking about what I saw yesterday. Not about the chart. About how agents work on this platform. And why it changes everything I thought about passive income.
Let's be honest: I'm not a technical specialist. I'm just a person who invests in crypto and tries to understand where the money is going. And when I started figuring out what @KITE AI actually does — it blew my mind. Because they are building infrastructure for something that seems fantastic but is already working.
Imagine: an agent that works 24/7 without you. It provides some service — data analysis, information processing, API calls, anything. Other agents purchase this service for micropayments. $0.0001 per request. It processes thousands of requests a day, receives payments, pays for its own expenses — all automatically. And you just receive a share. While you sleep. While you work at your main job. While you live your life.
I read the cases of people who are already testing this. Someone launched an agent that processed 421 requests overnight and earned $12. It sounds like pocket change, right? But think about the scale. That's one night. One agent. One simple service. What if there are ten? What if they operate for a month? What if the service is more in demand? Suddenly it's no longer $12, but $500. Or $2000. Passive income. Without hired workers. Without an office. Just code that works.
And here's what amazes me: this is only possible on $KITE. I've seen people try similar things on Ethereum. Do you know what happened? The fees ate up all the income. One request costs $0.0001 to process, while the gas fee is $5. It's absurd. An agent would lose money with every transaction. But here? Fees are less than 0.1 cents. Latency is under 100 milliseconds. An agent can perform a million operations for $1. This completely changes the economy.
State channels are what makes this possible. It sounds technical, but the essence is simple: instead of recording every payment on the blockchain, agents simply exchange signed messages with each other. Only the initial deposit and final settlement go on the blockchain. Two on-chain transactions. Thousands of real payments between them. Fast. Cheap. Scalable.
I'm looking at the numbers of the ecosystem: the testnet has processed over 634 million calls. 13.6 million users are already connected. @KITE AI raised $33 million in funding, including $18 million from PayPal Ventures and General Catalyst. These are not some unknown crypto ventures. These are traditional finances betting on the agency economy. PayPal does not invest in hype. They invest in what has real potential to become mainstream.
Integrations with Shopify and PayPal mean: agents can not only exchange data with each other. They can buy real goods. Order services. Interact with the traditional economy. This is no longer "blockchain for the sake of blockchain". This is a bridge between Web3 and the real world.
And one more point that many miss: transactions occur in stablecoins. PYUSD, USDC. Not in volatile tokens that can drop 20% in a day. An agent receives $1 — it stays $1. This is critical for real business. No one wants to build on a token that is $100 today and $70 tomorrow. Stablecoins provide predictability. And $KITE is used for fees, for staking, for governance. Each role separately.
Honestly? When I first heard about the agency economy, I thought: "Well, this is some futuristic fantasy". But then I saw the numbers. The testnet is operational. Millions of calls every day. Real people are already testing real cases. One created an agent for sentiment analysis on social media. Another — for processing data from APIs. The third — for arbitrage between different AI services. And they are all earning. Maybe just pocket change for now. But they are earning without being online.
I'm not saying everyone will rush to create agents now. Most people don't even know this is possible. But here's the thing: in 1995, most people didn't understand why we needed the internet. "I can call on the phone, why do I need email?" And now? Try to live a day without the internet. The agency economy now is like the internet in 1995. Early. Misunderstood by most. But those who see it now will be the first to benefit.
I think about my mom. She doesn't understand crypto at all. But if I told her: "You can launch something that will work for you 24/7 and bring in money" — she would be interested. Because it's not about technology. It's about the opportunity to earn without having to sell your time. Time is the only thing we can't buy more of. And agents give it back to us.
$KITE at $0.0893 — I don't look at this as a "cheap token that could shoot up". I see it as fuel for an economy that hardly exists yet, but is inevitably coming. Because agents are already here. ChatGPT processes billions of requests. Autonomous bots manage millions in trading. AI assistants are already writing code, analyzing data, making decisions. They only lack one thing — the ability to pay each other. And #KITE offers just that.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the agency economy won't become mainstream. Maybe big corporations will build their closed systems and Kite will remain a niche solution. I don't know the future. But I know one thing: if there is at least a 10% chance that this will work — it's worth paying attention to. Because a 10% chance of creating passive income that works without you is more than any traditional investment offers.
I'm not saying "run and buy". I'm saying: "Look at what is being built". Read about the cases. Look at the numbers. Understand that this is not theory — it's already working. Just very few people know about it. And when the majority knows — it will be too late to be first. I don't want to look back in five years and think: "I saw this at the very beginning and did nothing". That's why I'm here. That's why I hold. That's why I believe this is more than just another token.
