I’ve been exploring where AI is actually headed—not the buzzwords, but the infrastructure and @KITE AI stands out as the first project that truly makes autonomous agents practical, not theoretical. Kite isn’t just another blockchain with an AI label; it’s a purpose-built Layer 1 for AI-native payments and identity, designed to unlock an economy where agents can operate, earn, and transact on their own.
Right now, AI agents are powerful but constrained: no sovereign identity, no cheap micropayments, no trust-minimized way to act without human babysitting. Kite fixes this with its SPACE framework stablecoin-first payments, programmable constraints, agent-native authentication, compliance-aware execution, and ultra-low-cost economic flows. Its layered identity model (root user → delegated agent → session-level permissions) allows agents to act independently yet remain fully auditable and revocable. The real breakthrough is Proof of Attributed Intelligence, which cryptographically links each action to the model, prompt, and data used turning black-box AI into verifiable decision-makers via ZK proofs. Add sub-cent state channels (fees under $0.000001), and agent-to-agent commerce suddenly works: pay-per-task, streaming payments, autonomous escrow. With backing from PayPal Ventures, 1.7B agent interactions and 17.8M passports already on testnet, Kite’s upcoming mainnet could mark the moment agents start booking services, trading value, and coordinating DAOs on their own. In an AI-saturated future, Kite isn’t hype it’s the payment rails for the autonomous internet. Will 2026 be the year agents run your daily life? 🚀
