Kite is ramping up the shift to an agent-first economy by building secure, verifiable, and autonomous business infrastructure. Here’s the scoop on this week's deliveries:
▷ Our eco lead, Henry Lee, introduced the Kite Agent Passport at
#BitcoinSeoul2026 , collaborating with global institutions to define the next-gen machine-native payment rails.
▷ Co-founder and CEO Chi Zhang attended the Proof of Talk event at the Louvre in France, leading a panel discussion on 'Identity, Traceability, and Verification,' exploring how decentralized identity can ensure interaction security in the agentic era.
▷ VP and Business Head Lei Lei was invited to join the c-suite podcast during Consensus, discussing the trust requirements of agentic business, highlighting that the x402 payment extension has already facilitated over 100 million transactions.
▷ We showcased how the Kite Agent Passport enables autonomous trading on platforms like Polymarket: Agents can execute signal-based trades within user-defined strategy ranges without holding a hot wallet.
▷ We joined as a launch partner in the billions_ntwk AI agentic collaboration film project, supporting 500+ developers to leverage the x402 payment extension, allowing Agents to become filmmakers through secure micropayments.
▷ We served as the official partner and judge for Bitget AI's first season hackathon, supporting a $50,000 prize pool to empower developers in building natural language trading strategies.
▷ Co-founder Chi Zhang guest appeared on Jeff Wilser's AiCuriousHQ podcast, delving into the structural changes in transitioning to agentic business and how the arrival of 'autonomous customers' is happening faster than anticipated.
