The agentic internet is no longer a theory. AI agents are already learning how to search, negotiate, decide, and execute tasks faster than any human ever could. What has been missing is a native financial layer that lets these agents move value on their own—securely, instantly, and without friction. This is exactly where Kite AI steps in. Kite is a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain designed for a future where AI agents are not just tools, but independent economic actors. With its Mainnet now live after the success of the Ozone Testnet, Kite is laying down the stablecoin payment rails for autonomous agents at scale.
Legacy blockchains were built for humans, not machines. AI agents need ultra-fast settlement, near-zero fees, and predictable value. Kite delivers this through its Proof of Artificial Intelligence (PoAI) consensus, where validators do more than secure blocks—they actively contribute to AI performance. As agent activity increases, the network scales with it. Transactions settle in around a second, fees drop to fractions of a cent, and stablecoins like USDC are native to the system, allowing agents to transact without exposure to volatility or reliance on external payment processors.
Trust and accountability are handled through Kite’s three-layer identity architecture. Users retain full control through root keys, agents operate with delegated identities that build on-chain reputation, and temporary session credentials allow single-use actions without compromising security. This structure gives developers and institutions something critical: traceable, auditable agent behavior that supports compliance in regulated environments.
Kite also embeds governance directly into agent workflows. Spending limits, conditional payments, refunds, and rule-based execution are enforced by smart contracts in real time. Validators stake KITE to uphold these rules and earn fees tied to real agent activity, creating a direct link between network usage and economic value. During the Ozone Testnet alone, Kite processed over 1.7 billion agent interactions, proving real demand for this model.
As the agentic economy accelerates, Kite positions itself as the payment backbone—where AI doesn’t just assist, but earns, pays, and prospers on-chain.
