$KITE is built to fix that.
It’s an EVM-compatible Layer 1 designed specifically for agent coordination and payments—where AI agents can transact in real time, with verifiable identity, hard spending limits, and clear accountability.
The core idea is simple but powerful:
User → Agent → Session.
You own the funds. Agents get delegated authority. Sessions are temporary, scoped, and expire. No master keys handed to software. No silent leaks.
Payments are stablecoin-first, so costs stay predictable. Micropayments scale through state channels, making pay-per-action and pay-per-second viable at machine speed. Fees don’t compete with unrelated activity thanks to payment-optimized lanes.
Kite isn’t just about paying—it’s about coordination. Authorization, execution, settlement, and receipts are all part of the same flow. Modules allow entire agent ecosystems to plug in while sharing the same settlement and identity rails.
The native token, KITE, has a capped 10B supply with phased utility:
Phase 1: ecosystem participation, incentives, module activation via locked liquidity
Phase 2: staking, governance, and fee-related value capture tied to real usage
Kite entered public markets in late 2025, marking its shift from testnet experimentation to real-world exposure.
