@KITE AI is building a Layer-1 blockchain specifically designed for autonomous AI agents, allowing them to transact, coordinate, and operate independently through on-chain identity, reputation, and payment systems. The goal is to power an agent-driven economy where machines can interact directly with economic systems without intermediaries. This vision positions KiteAI as a foundational layer for future AI infrastructure, where intelligent agents are not just tools but active economic participants.
The journey began with the first testnet phase, Aero, which served as the initial lift-off for the ecosystem. Aero focused on onboarding users, enabling basic agent interactions, and gathering early feedback. What started as an experiment quickly scaled, with millions of wallets participating and billions of agent interactions recorded on-chain. This phase successfully validated the demand for decentralized, agent-native infrastructure and proved that large-scale participation was possible.
Now, KiteAI is preparing to enter its second phase, Ozone, which marks the beginning of system maturity. Ozone is designed to move the network from experimentation toward real-world readiness. One of the most important upgrades in this phase is the introduction of universal accounts through account abstraction, allowing users to log in using familiar social methods while maintaining blockchain-level security. This significantly reduces onboarding friction and makes the platform more accessible to mainstream users and developers.
Alongside this, Ozone brings improved agent services and a smoother user experience. Interactions between users and AI agents become more reliable, intuitive, and closer to production quality. The phase also introduces staking mechanisms, NFT badges, and incentive systems that encourage long-term participation and help bootstrap meaningful economic activity within the network. These features are designed to reward builders, users, and agents that contribute to the ecosystem’s growth.
Ozone also expands the broader ecosystem by welcoming partners, wallets, and third-party agents into the testnet. This shifts KiteAI beyond isolated demos and into a collaborative environment where real integrations and use cases can be tested. In simple terms, Phase 2 transforms KiteAI from a fun experiment into a serious testing ground for future decentralized AI economies.
Beyond Ozone, the roadmap continues to unfold. The next phase focuses on intelligence coordination, where agent reputation, contribution tracking, and attributed intelligence move fully on-chain. Agents begin collaborating through shared workflows, and early governance mechanisms emerge. This sets the stage for a network where agents do more than interact, they work together.
The following phase expands this vision across networks, enabling agents to route tasks between blockchains and operate within a broader, interconnected ecosystem. Modular AI tooling and composable services allow developers to build more flexible and powerful agent systems.
All of this leads to the final destination, the mainnet launch. This is where KiteAI becomes fully live, enabling real micropayments, decentralized identity, agent marketplaces, and community-driven governance. Agents will be able to earn, transact, and build reputation in a trust-minimized environment, marking a major step toward a fully autonomous, machine driven economy.
