The Kite Global Tour is off to an unforgettable start! Just wrapped: the epic Dev Party in Chiang Mai on December 16, where builders came together in Thailand's creative heart to ignite conversations on the agentic future.
Co-hosted with @OpenBuildxyz, @4seasDeSoc, and @ETHChiangMai, the event was a powerhouse of energy. Developers unpacked Kite's cutting-edge features—like KitePass for verifiable cryptographic identities, programmable governance, and native stablecoin micropayments that let AI agents transact autonomously with full trust and control.
Surrounded by Chiang Mai's timeless temples, it was a fitting reminder: @GoKiteAI is building infrastructure meant to endure, just like the ancient wonders around us. Ideas soared, connections deepened, and the unmatched vibe left everyone buzzing about verifiable payments powering the next era of AI.
This perfect kickoff follows massive milestones—Binance listing, x402 integrations, testnet crushing millions of interactions, and strong backing from PayPal Ventures and General Catalyst (over $33M raised).
The $KITE token is the heartbeat: staking for security, governance for community voice, fees for seamless ops, and rewards tied to real AI utility in a high-throughput Layer-1 optimized for machine economies.
With Chiang Mai in the rearview, the tour flies next to Seoul on December 16—same-day energy shift! The community meetup at Perplexity’s Café Curious featured CEO @ChiZhangData's keynote alongside a special guest from @perplexity_ai, diving into post-TGE progress and the agent-based internet.
Attendees raved about the visionary talks, team strength (from Databricks and Uber alumni), and clear roadmap addressing real AI pain points: identity, payments, and control without Big Tech lock-in.
The agentic economy isn't coming—it's here, and @KITE AI is fueling it with $KITE . More cities incoming; the momentum is soaring!
Higher forever! 🪁
