Kite is a Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for autonomous AI agents to transact in real-time using stablecoins. Unlike traditional blockchains that focus on human users, Kite enables AI agents to send and receive payments securely while following pre-defined rules.
The platform uses a three-layer identity system: users, agents, and sessions. Users set permissions, agents inherit those permissions to act independently, and sessions track temporary task-specific activity. This ensures security, traceability, and reversibility, allowing agents to operate autonomously without compromising the safety of funds.
Kite is EVM-compatible, giving developers access to familiar smart contract tools while benefiting from real-time transaction speeds optimized for AI workloads. Built-in stablecoin support allows agents to perform microtransactions without exposure to volatile crypto prices. This makes paying per API call, per compute cycle, or per data access feasible, opening doors to new AI-driven business models.
The KITE token supports ecosystem growth, staking, governance, and transaction fees. Nearly half of the total 10 billion tokens are reserved for incentivizing developers and users. As agent activity increases, transaction fees feed into staking rewards, aligning the interests of network participants.
Real-world use cases include AI-managed DeFi strategies, automated supply chain payments, gaming micro-economies, and content monetization where agents manage transactions autonomously. Cross-chain partnerships ensure agents can operate seamlessly across different blockchain networks, expanding practical applications and enhancing ecosystem adoption.
Kite is not just a blockchain; it’s a financial infrastructure layer built for AI, combining security, autonomy, and efficiency. It empowers AI agents to act as independent economic actors while providing developers and users with a robust and scalable platform for agent-driven payments.
