KITE AI 中文

AI agents are accelerating from "answering questions" to "executing tasks." When agents truly start working, the biggest bottleneck will become trust and settlement: who is authorized to act, under what constraints they execute, and how to ensure that each action can complete end-to-end settlement and auditing.

We have just released the Kite mainnet roadmap, outlining the key capabilities we are building around six major pillar systems, including Agentic Trust, Agentic Settlement, SmartDev Infra, Network Operations, AgenticFi, and Ecosystem Growth.

Soon, the trading volume of AI Agents will far exceed that of humans. The traditional financial system has never been designed for these autonomous Agents.

Kite is building a Layer 1 blockchain for payments, making this new reality possible. We focus on the core elements for the prosperity of the Agent economy:

1️⃣ Verifiable crypto identities, allowing each Agent to have a trusted presence on the chain
2️⃣ Protocols designed for seamless autonomous payments and collaboration
3️⃣ Native stablecoin infrastructure to optimize high-frequency microtransactions
4️⃣ Complete economic sovereignty, enabling Agents to own and control the flow of value autonomously, without intermediaries

The Agent economy needs more than intelligence; it also requires a comprehensive economic infrastructure.

This is exactly what we are delivering.🪁

This week we have made significant progress, taking a big step closer to a production-grade Agentic Internet.

Let's take a look at what happened this week 👇

1️⃣ A warm welcome to Ehsan Yousefzadeh, who has officially joined as the product lead. He has extensive experience in AI Agents and payment fields, having worked at PayPal, Uber, and Amazon, and will help us create a better product experience.

2️⃣ $KITE ranks 7th in Upbit's 24-hour spot trading volume, with the KITE/KRW trading pair accounting for 2.3% to 2.5% of the total spot volume. This is a bright signal in important Asian markets!

3️⃣ We released the 6th post in THE AGENT PLAYBOOK series, addressing the core bottlenecks of the Agentic economy: identity, delegation, and trust. We elaborated on a three-layer identity model, on-chain strategy execution, and Know Your Agent (KYA), transforming anonymous scripts into sovereign economic entities constrained by strategy.

4️⃣ As ecosystem partners, we supported the Shanghai OpenClaw developer event alongside well-known companies such as Baidu Intelligent Cloud, Xiaohongshu, and MiniMax. Developers showcased live demos on-site and collaboratively tackled production challenges such as tool invocation, multi-agent runtime, and deployment.

The Agentic economy is accelerating at full speed! 🪁

This time, we focus on the structural misalignment that hinders the development of the next generation of the internet. As AI agents evolve from passive tools to active economic participants, they require not only smarter models but also native identities and structured delegation of permissions.

This article will detail how Kite directly embeds programmable security boundaries into the protocol layer, ensuring that every action of the agents is traceable, auditable, and absolutely secure.

The lack of governance in autonomy brings risks, while governance without autonomy stifles scalability. Let's see how Kite simultaneously tackles these two challenges.

We are very pleased to announce: Ehsan Yousefzadeh has officially joined Kite as the Head of Product!🪁

Ehsan previously served as Senior Director and Head of Product at PayPal AI, leading the company's significant advancements in intelligent agent AI, including intelligent agent commerce, intelligent agent payment protocols, and developing native AI agents for PayPal and Venmo, as well as multiple key strategic partnerships.

He has over 12 years of experience in consumer internet, payment, and AI product management, having previously worked at Uber on market matching and driver incentive products, and at Amazon on Same-Day Delivery technology research and development. Ehsan holds a Master's degree in Data Science from the University of California, Berkeley.

We look forward to Ehsan leveraging his extensive experience to help Kite build the infrastructure for the agent economy and the next generation of autonomous agents.

Welcome to the Kite team, Ehsan!

As AI Agents become increasingly autonomous, they require their own financial rails to facilitate global transactions. We created Kite for this very purpose.

It is exciting to see Grayscale sharing this vision in their market commentary from February 2026, emphasizing that Kite is a blockchain specifically designed for "agent-native stablecoin payments."

The future of the AI economy is on-chain, and we are just getting started. 🪁

The Builders Stage at ETHDenver is filled with the energy of builders! 💻

Our Head of Protocol, Vik, took the stage to elaborate on the three-layer identity model. This framework clearly separates User as the root authority, Agent as the delegated authority, and Session as the temporary authority, ensuring robust governance, clear responsibilities, and straightforward operations.

Based on BIP-32 hierarchical key management, it enables secure delegation without exposing the root credentials. Coupled with policy-based safeguards, spending limits, session controls, and a trusted execution environment, enterprise-level security is further enhanced, significantly reducing the attack surface while maintaining flexibility and scalability.

Through KYA verifiable Agent identity, policy execution control, auditability, and reputation scoring, enterprises can confidently delegate funds and workflows to autonomous intelligent agents.

This event brought together over 180 projects, including 30+ projects specifically designed for Kite, with the innovative application KiteClaw dazzling the audience! 🔥

This in-depth discussion on secure identities and control mechanisms is the core driving force needed to promote trusted Agent payments and delegation, as well as the explosion of on-chain intelligent agent economies. 🪁

Last weekend in Seoul, our APAC head Laughing took the stage at the DE-FERENCE 2026 conference hosted by Decipher, with the theme "When Everything Goes Onchain." 🇰🇷

As a title sponsor, alongside Solana Foundation, Sui Network, Monad, and MegaETH, Kite engaged with leading voices from a16z crypto, LayerZero, Chainlink, Uniswap, and more.

In the keynote speech "Kite: Agency for Everyone," he showcased how Kite's AI payment blockchain empowers everyone to truly take control in the onchain agent economy.

The discussion focused on the core infrastructure needed for autonomous agents: secure, programmable payment capabilities that enable seamless execution and value transfer on-chain.

A big thank you to the Builders from the Korean blockchain community for the wonderful exchanges and new connections.

We are co-building the payment infrastructure at the core of the future of agents, and the Agentic onchain era is gradually coming together.🪁

BASS Denver 2026 Intelligent Agent Payment Roundtable Review⬇️

Our Vice President and BD Head Lei Lei represented Kite at the Blockchain Application Stanford Summit (BASS) Denver 2026 during ETHDenver, hosted by Stanford SBA and the BB Fund. She shared the stage with Mike Massari from Aeon, Chris Kim from Aptos Labs, and Bobby Beniers from CoinFund, bringing a wealth of insights to the intelligent agent payment roundtable discussion.

This high-level exchange continuously reinforces Kite's core direction: to create instant machine-native value transfer specifically designed for intelligent agents, with costs close to zero, and relying on cryptographic identities to provide true sovereignty and verifiability for AI models, intelligent agents, and datasets, paving the way for trust in autonomous transactions on a global scale.

Thanks to the Stanford Blockchain community for facilitating such high-level discussions; the infrastructure for the intelligent agent economy is rapidly being built. 🪁
