Imagine an AI agent acting as your personal financial scout. It finds opportunities in the market, checks everything, and closes deals using a stablecoin - without you lifting a finger. This is the daily world that KAIT builds. AI is no longer just an assistant. With KAIT, these agents get their own blockchain, filled with the tools they need to run their businesses themselves. As machines take on more and more economic roles, KAIT keeps transactions secure and transparent, always leaving room for human oversight. This makes KAIT an essential part of the growing agent-driven economy.
Kite operates as a Layer 1 network compatible with EVM. This means developers can use familiar Ethereum tools, but they also get AI-optimized enhancements. Integration is simple, but the real power of Kite lies in speed and real-time coordination. Block times are less than a second, thanks to a proof-of-stake model that actually rewards validators for supporting AI – not just for maintaining network security, but also for providing computing power for AI tasks. Take the Ozone Testnet: it is already handling over a million interactions a day. Agents can process thousands of small payments at once, without any slowdown.
Security begins with a three-layer identity system. Users essentially retain private keys, delegating specific authorities to agents via cryptographic passports – such as setting transaction limits or approved partners. Agents then create session keys for specific functions, which expire automatically, so any breach is contained. Smart rules allow users to set advanced conditions – perhaps banning trades during volatile markets or requiring additional checks for large amounts. For trading agents, this means they can exchange assets like USDC, prove their identity on-chain, and adhere to the rules, with a clear audit trail to maintain security.
Agents in Kite work together like a team of digital professionals, following "intents" that clarify what they should do. An inventory agent might manage stock, predict needs using oracle data, and pay for supplies using stablecoins held in escrow accounts. Their reputation increases directly on-chain with every successful transaction, unlocking better partnerships. In logistics, for example, a shipping agent can coordinate work with warehouses, verify deliveries, and release payments in PYUSD upon receipt of proof – no intermediaries, just faster global work. Units like UnifAI take this further, enabling financial agents to chase yields across protocols, with security checks built in.
Kite's stablecoin system supports continuous trading. USDC flows, for example, through efficient settlement channels – micro transactions are batched off-chain to reduce costs, then settle on-chain for less than a cent in fees. Streaming payments become easy, allowing an agent to pay for AI services by the second or per computation. Builders can create markets where agents find services, negotiate, and transact – even modern zero-knowledge proof integrations add privacy. It remains cheap and predictable for users, while validators share ecosystem rewards.
The KITE token keeps everything running. There is a strict maximum of 10 billion tokens, set for long-term value. Utilities come in waves. Since the launch in November 2025, phase one focuses on engaging people: you need KITE to access the units, and liquidity providers earn rewards for establishing new markets. Over 17 million passports have already been issued to agents. Phase two, coming with the mainnet, adds staking for verification rewards, governance votes, and a share of commissions from AI services. Nearly half of the supply goes to community initiatives, keeping contributors motivated. With $33 million in funding – including $18 million from a significant Series A in September 2025 – the model is built for scalability: the more agents join, the more everyone benefits.
The agent economy is expected to reach trillions. Kite arrives at the right time, after a significant listing on Binance that saw hundreds of millions in trading. Builders get a new platform to launch AI ideas. Users enjoy automation without intervention. And now traders in the Binance crowd have a token directly linked to this growth.
