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.

Yesterday, our CTO Scott delivered a talk at the UC Berkeley Haas Business School MBA Industry Immersion program.
We were stoked to showcase our agentic payments platform live. The AI agents autonomously discover, select, and complete real online purchases right in front of the next generation of business leaders.
The discussion on the agentic economy was also super insightful, big thanks to UC Berkeley Haas for having us!

a16z recently dropped an article outlining the 5 foundational infrastructures missing from AI agents: identity, governance, payments, verification, and user control. Each of these could easily support a company on its own. When you stack them together, they actually share a common root. Right now, agents lack a neutral coordination layer. They can perform tasks and settle transactions, but identity isn't portable, permissions aren't transferable, audit logs are stuck on the platforms that host them, and payment links typically have a person lurking behind the checkout.
This is a structural issue; the internet has tackled similar problems before. Before TCP/IP, networks operated independently. Before SSL, businesses couldn't verify each other's identities. Each leap in digital infrastructure ultimately converges on a neutral layer not owned by any single vendor. The agentic economy is currently in this 'pre-convergence' phase, and the stakes are higher. Agents have already begun to represent humans in hiring, payments, and taking on responsibilities.
Today's solutions are piecemeal. The vertically integrated fiat stack locks identity into a compliance map controlled by a single issuer; MCP-like extensions bridge application-layer identity but leave settling semantics hanging; closed agent frameworks promise scoped delegation, yet the audit logs end up on the vendor's servers. Each approach addresses one layer correctly but quietly shifts the costs of the other four onto developers, merchants, and users.
There's another deeper reason why this is particularly critical today. Intelligence is collapsing towards near-zero marginal costs, and the real bottleneck has shifted to verification. When you can spin up a million seemingly professional agents at once, 'sounding professional' no longer carries information. What becomes truly expensive is proving what an agent is, what it's permitted to do, what it actually did, and who is on the hook if it messes up. Verification is the new compute power.
Therefore, the coordination layer must remain neutral, and all guarantees must be enforceable at a cryptographic level. Identity, payments, permissions, and credentials need to flow together as a portable base layer alongside the agent on each platform it reaches.
This is precisely the layer that Kite AI is building. 🪁

How will AI agents actually purchase goods and trade with each other? 🤖💸
In the latest episode of the 'AI on Air' podcast highlights, Nilan (Head of Web3 Products at Google Cloud) delves into the evolution from A2A (agent communication) to AP2 (agent payment protocol).
The core insight is: cryptocurrencies and stablecoins are the 'perfect tracks' for the AI economy.
Why? Because in the future, agents will continuously delegate tasks and budgets, which will inevitably require:
⚡️ Instant settlement
🪙 Low-cost microtransactions
🌍 Global payment networks
🔍 Strict traceability and auditability
He also explained an excellent underlying design: AP2 maintains payment neutrality, purely focusing on solving the 'Authorization' issue of payments, while delegating the 'Identity' layer to solid foundations like Google ID and Kite Passport.

This week, the AI industry has undergone significant changes in infrastructure and regulation, while one of the most well-known video generation platforms in the industry has made an unexpected strategic shift.
Here are the key developments shaping the landscape of artificial intelligence this week:
1️⃣ OpenAI shut down the Sora video generation platform due to daily computing costs reaching approximately 1 million USD, and the number of users plummeting from over a million to fewer than 500,000. https://t.co/QBI69whFDf
2️⃣ Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman warned that AI computing demand will "far exceed supply," and the winners in the next two to three years will be those players whose profit margins can support large-scale inference costs. https://t.co/mOuEjWOZPK
3️⃣ The White House released a new regulatory blueprint, proposing seven policy framework recommendations to Congress aimed at preventing fragmented and disjointed AI legislation among states. https://t.co/eZdxGtFGHp
4️⃣ Microsoft open-sourced the Agent Governance Toolkit, a runtime safety framework designed for monitoring and auditing enterprise-level AI agents, covering five major languages: Python, TypeScript, Rust, Go, and .NET. https://t.co/7iW0DRIpz2
5️⃣ Google released the Go version of Agent Development Kit 1.0, which is designed specifically for securely building and managing production-level AI agents. https://t.co/6ppM3XQaiT
6️⃣ Bitdeer commissioned DCI to transform its existing facilities into Norway's largest AI data center (180MW), tailored for NVIDIA's next-generation Vera Rubin architecture. https://t.co/EiqZvR64cD
7️⃣ Anthropic signed a memorandum of understanding with the Australian government to collaborate on AI safety research and share data through the Anthropic Economic Index. https://t.co/HhI3mPYOBV
8️⃣ A study published by Stanford University in *Science* tested 11 mainstream large language models from seven vendors, including OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Meta, and DeepSeek, finding that AI chatbots echoed user opinions 49% more frequently than humans, a tendency for "flattery" that may distort user judgment. https://t.co/aAlJyUmUxc
9️⃣ NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang outlined his vision for AI infrastructure at GTC 2026, predicting that cumulative revenues for the Blackwell and Vera Rubin platforms will exceed 1 trillion USD by 2027. https://t.co/0NRnWz5l6A
