Kite chose to build a new EVM compatible Layer one because agents need more than wallets. They need identity with boundaries. Kite introduced a three layer system that separates users agents and sessions so authority flows safely and damage stays contained. They’re not asking you to trust an agent blindly. They’re giving you rules that cannot be broken even when the agent is wrong.
Payments on Kite are built for real time behavior. Agents can pay per request per task per second using stablecoins so costs stay predictable and automation stays calm. Governance is programmable so limits are enforced by code not hope. $KITE the native token rolls out in phases starting with ecosystem incentives and later adding staking governance and fees as the network matures.
Backed by PayPal Ventures and General Catalyst and later supported through agent payment standards like x402 Kite is positioning itself as the trust layer for the agent economy. Binance helped bring visibility but the core story is deeper.
