KITE Protocol is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built to support an emerging agentic economy — a decentralized digital system where autonomous AI agents can operate, interact, and transact on their own using verifiable identity and programmable governance.
At its core, the Kite Network provides the infrastructure to enable AI agents — software entities capable of performing tasks independently — to conduct real-time transactions, manage digital assets, and participate in economic activity without human intermediaries. This is achieved through a modular ecosystem that allows developers to deploy specialized services and AI tools while settling payments and interactions on the main blockchain.
Key Technical Features
Layer-1 Blockchain & Consensus — Kite uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism tailored for speed, scalability, and low gas costs, enabling fast settlement of AI agent interactions.
EVM Compatibility — Built to support Ethereum-style smart contracts, Kite allows developers to easily bring existing decentralized applications or tools into its ecosystem.
Three-Tier Identity System — The network separates identity into user, agent, and session layers. This allows users to authorize agents with precise permissions while maintaining cryptographic security.
Modular Architecture — Modules serve as semi-independent ecosystems for AI services (datasets, models, compute tools), interacting with the main chain for settlement and shared governance.
KITE Token & Utility
The KITE token, capped at 10 billion tokens, is the native economic engine of the protocol. Its utilities roll out in phases:
Phase 1: Early participation, liquidity commitments, and eligibility for builders and service providers.
Phase 2: Staking, governance participation, fee mechanisms, and rewards tied to real AI service usage once the mainnet launches.
Kite Foundation
KITE has gained traction through listings on major exchanges such as Binance and KuCoin, making it accessible to global traders and early adopters.
Why It Matters
By combining decentralized identity, programmable governance, and real-time transactions for autonomous agents, KITE Protocol aims to create a foundational layer for a new class of decentralized AI services — one where machines can transact value, collaborate, and autonomously participate in the economy with cryptographic trust.
