You may have heard that Kite is an L1 network specifically designed for real-time payments and coordination for AI agents. But it has another important identity: it is a network compatible with EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine).
EVM compatibility may sound like a term exclusive to tech enthusiasts, but for the AI agent economy, it is simply a **'passport' and 'universal key'**.
In simple terms, EVM is the **'Mandarin'** of the blockchain world. The Ethereum ecosystem has developed over many years, possessing the largest developer community, the most mature toolkit, and the most numerous smart contract standards. If a new public chain is not compatible with EVM, it is like locking itself in a small dark room, requiring developers to relearn an entirely new language and set of tools.
But Kite chose EVM compatibility, which means:
Developer's 'zero learning cost': Any developer who can write Solidity smart contracts can seamlessly deploy their AI agent applications on Kite. They do not need to learn a new 'dialect' for Kite, saving a significant amount of time and effort.
Interoperability of assets and tools: When AI agents trade on Kite, they can easily interact with existing tools, wallets, and standards within the Ethereum ecosystem. This allows AI agents to directly participate in the mainstream DeFi and Web3 economy.
Rapid ecosystem launch: EVM compatibility is a magnet for attracting a quick startup of the ecosystem. Once AI agent applications run on Kite L1, it's like standing on the shoulders of giants, sharing the security and maturity of the Ethereum ecosystem.
Therefore, Kite not only provides AI agents with a super-fast 'highway' (L1) but also ensures that the traffic rules and language of this highway are universally understood 'Mandarin' (EVM).
Allow AI agents to trade and pay freely in a familiar and powerful environment, which is the first step towards truly **'liberating AI productivity'**!
