This week, I closely tracked the activities of the Kite team and felt that they are making solid and rapid progress in building the infrastructure for the agent economy. What impressed me is that several core team members appeared almost simultaneously at multiple important events, sending a strong market signal.
Through observation👀, I found that what Kite is doing may not just be another payment tool, but rather building a financial layer for future automated economic entities. I firmly believe this direction is forward-looking—when AI agents can autonomously handle value exchanges, the entire digital economy will undergo transformation.
The aspect that concerns me the most on a technical level is their public collaboration with Minara. I learned that Minara focuses on decentralized computing resource scheduling, while Kite provides the value transfer layer. This combination seems quite clever to me. I believe this validates Kite's positioning: not to create an all-encompassing underlying public chain but to focus on becoming the 'dedicated lane for value circulation' in the world of intelligent agents.
Recently, the 'AI Verification' event held in Argentina also left a deep impression on me. Looking back at the content, developers have been testing complex trading scenarios between intelligent agents. This makes me firmly believe that Kite's technology is moving from concept validation to practical application. When developers and community members start to explore use cases together, the ecosystem's flywheel may begin to turn.
From an industry perspective, the team shared an industry review mentioning the layouts of traditional giants like Visa and Mastercard, which makes me feel that the track chosen by Kite is on the eve of explosion. However, unlike traditional payment giants, I believe Kite's competitive advantage lies in its native Web3 architecture — designed from the outset for decentralized, autonomously operating intelligent agents.
Particularly noteworthy is the topic discussed by their protocol director in 499_DAO: the dependence of Web3 on centralized technologies. This shows me the depth of thought from the Kite team. They are not only building products but also contemplating the paradigm shift of the entire industry. I feel that this combination of technical execution and philosophical reflection is especially valuable in blockchain projects.
After this period of observation, I am increasingly forming the understanding that Kite may not immediately trigger market frenzy, but it is quietly laying the foundational pipeline for the future intelligent agent economy. While most projects are still chasing current trends, they are already preparing for potential demands two or three years down the line. This level of composure makes me believe that this project is worth our continued attention, as true innovation often comes from teams that can see far and dig deep.
