Kite recently launched its mainnet, giving direct KITE token rewards to users who develop AI agent tools and provide liquidity to stablecoin pools, which is quite clear in its purpose – it serves only real-world use cases. According to official statements, when the public mainnet is released in early 2026, KITE will also be used for staking, allowing you not only to protect the network but also to share in transaction fees. More interestingly, governance will rely entirely on KITE staking, with voting on matters such as identity functions and adjusting fee rules; the longer the lock-up period, the stronger the voting power. Furthermore, AI agents on the blockchain generate various activities, providing actual revenue for KITE daily, making it clear that this is not just about trading tokens, but about allowing traders to engage with AI applications backed by real performance.
Actually, blockchain projects are now reaching new heights; Kite has taken a different approach, building a toolkit that supports rapid deployment of AI agents. For example, the Kite Passport issues identities, and the agent marketplace platform helps you quickly launch the desired system. The experience is very smooth, it works like a hands-off manager, automatically handling budgeting and investment management—tasks that would originally require a lot of effort are directly delegated to the AI workers. You can stop anytime when you don’t want to work, without fear of them going 'off track'. It effectively addresses the huge shift problem of AI from being obedient to being able to take initiative—money and permissions are all in the boss's (that’s us) hands, but the money-making capability has greatly improved.
Let's talk again about Kite's hardcore 'wallet manager' capabilities. Its entire underlying chain is based on the Avalanche architecture, a solid Layer 1 mainnet that is fully EVM compatible. This chain is managed independently, handling tasks particularly efficiently, using a new consensus mechanism called proof of stake, with settlement speeds significantly faster by dozens of times, averaging 300 milliseconds to complete a transaction, which is basically enough for continuous communication and operations between AI agents. Each validator must sign off on each block, so even in the case of traffic surges, it is not easy to experience delays; otherwise, the data synchronization and various operations of the AI agents would simply be overwhelmed.
The identity authentication system can be said to be Kite's core killer feature that allows it to challenge established public chains. It has a three-layer structure, with each step firmly keeping control in our users' hands. The core key is in our possession, specific AI agents have independent identities, and all operational evidence can be checked. Temporary tasks have dedicated small keys that expire once used, so if any slip occurs, the risk of violation is immediately cut off. All authorizations, spending conditions, and such are clearly arranged by smart contracts. For example, if you let your investment AI automatically analyze the market, arbitrage on various protocols on Binance, exchange currencies, and adjust portfolios, it will never exceed the boundaries you set; the blockchain leaves a permanent record, and if you need to check, you can always review the logs.
Don’t underestimate the support for stablecoin payments; Kite plays it deep. You can directly receive and pay various mainstream assets on the native chain, with liquidity guaranteed by itself. Micro-payments and streaming-style deductions are all possible, and you can even pay while translating—each sentence translates and pays immediately, distributing profits to validators in real-time. On-chain fees will adjust based on actual demand, and some will be exchanged for KITE, incentivizing validators to continue expanding. Plus, everyone can use AI agents with confidence; your spending is reasonable and predictable, and won’t suddenly surprise you.
From a broader perspective, many people are still a bit confused about what AI agents are. Simply put, they can serve as your 'digital laborers', not just backend runners. They can perform data analysis or handle transactions, and still earn money, which can then be reinvested in computing power or collaborated with other agents to make money together. However, to have these digital models genuinely help us efficiently save money and seize opportunities, a stable, secure, and extremely fast payment chain is needed. This is precisely the gap that Kite aims to fill: helping agents comfortably conduct business under regulation, avoiding chaos while maximizing our economic freedom.
What can I say, if I had to choose the most eye-catching aspect, I personally find Kite's security delegation quite appealing, with full transparency and compliance, while also enabling real-time settlement, targeting the future of large-scale machine business. If AI agents can really earn money like today’s Uber drivers or short video gifts, Kite is likely to seize a significant opportunity.
