@KITE AI Kite is building a purpose-designed blockchain network to support agentic payments—transactions initiated and executed by autonomous AI agents under verifiable rules. As artificial intelligence systems increasingly operate independently across financial, commercial, and digital environments, Kite provides the foundational infrastructure required for these agents to interact, settle value, and coordinate actions in a secure and auditable manner.
The Kite blockchain is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 network optimized for real-time execution and low-latency settlement. This compatibility enables developers to deploy existing smart contracts and tooling while extending them to agent-native use cases. By aligning with established Ethereum standards, Kite facilitates interoperability with broader on-chain ecosystems, including wallets, decentralized applications, and cross-chain integrations, allowing agentic workflows to connect seamlessly with existing blockchain infrastructure.
A central design element of Kite is its three-layer identity architecture, which distinguishes between users, agents, and sessions. This separation enables granular permissioning, accountability, and lifecycle management of autonomous agents. Users can define governance constraints and operational boundaries, while agents transact within session-specific contexts, reducing risk and improving control without sacrificing autonomy. This identity framework supports compliance-aware deployment of AI agents in areas such as automated payments, on-chain services, and machine-to-machine coordination.
KITE is the native token of the network and supports protocol-level participation. Token utility is introduced in two phases. The initial phase focuses on ecosystem participation and incentive alignment, supporting early network usage and developer engagement. Subsequent phases expand utility to include staking, governance participation, and fee-related functions, enabling token holders to contribute to network security, decision-making, and long-term protocol sustainability.
By combining agent-centric identity, real-time settlement, and EVM interoperability, Kite positions itself as a neutral coordination layer for autonomous systems operating on-chain. As adoption of AI-driven agents accelerates, Kite’s focus on programmable governance, secure execution, and ecosystem compatibility provides a scalable foundation for sustained growth and responsible integration of agentic activity into the broader blockchain economy.
