Kite is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 designed for agentic payments, where autonomous AI can transact in real time with provable identity, bounded authority, and programmable rules.
Why Kite feels different
Three-Layer Identity: User → Agent → Session
Humans stay in control. Agents get delegated power. Sessions expire.
If something breaks, the blast radius stays small.
Programmable Constraints
Spending limits. Time windows. Scope boundaries.
Even a compromised agent cannot exceed the rules.
Agent-Speed Payments
Micropayments via fast, state-channel-style rails—so agents can pay while thinking, not waiting.
Stablecoin-first settlement
Predictable budgets. Real accounting. No volatility chaos for machines.
Real momentum, not just theory
In 2025, Kite raised $18M Series A led by PayPal Ventures and General Catalyst, bringing total funding to ~$35M.
Later, Binance featured Kite across Academy, Research, and Launchpool—introducing $KITE to a global audience.
Token with a timeline
Phase 1: Participation & incentives at TGE
Phase 2: Staking, governance, and fee-based utility at mainnet
A maturity path—not hype.
The big idea
Kite isn’t selling a feature.
It’s selling a safety story for the agent era.
