Kite introduces agentic payments: a blockchain-native system where autonomous AI agents can transact safely, prove authorization, stay inside programmable limits, and leave verifiable trails when it matters. Under the hood is an EVM-compatible Layer 1, tuned for real-time agent coordination—built for machines, not humans.
The breakthrough is identity. Kite splits authority into three clean layers: you, the agent acting for you, and the session doing the work. You keep control. Agents get delegated power. Sessions are short-lived and tightly scoped. If something breaks, you revoke a session—not your entire identity. That separation is the line between autonomy and chaos.
Wrapped around this is Passport—an identity object that lets agents prove who they are, what they’re allowed to do, and under which limits, without oversharing. Services don’t trust blindly; they demand cryptographic proof that an agent is legit, authorized, and compliant.
Payments are built for agents too: metered billing, escrow-style flows, microtransactions, and programmable accounts where multiple agents operate under strict limits from a single pool of funds. To scale, Kite uses channel-based designs, keeping millions of tiny actions fast without clogging the chain.
$KITE isn’t one app—it’s an ecosystem. Modular markets for data, models, and agent services evolve independently, yet settle on the same base layer. Composable lanes. One foundation.
