Kite AI: The Base Layer for the Agentic Economy

A deep dive into Kite AI: The purpose built infrastructure for the AI Agent centric internet.

Nov 03, 2025

AI agents became the narrative everyone was talking about, leading to the development of various platforms with AI functionality. However, the AI-powered apps created were isolated and unable to connect with each other, centralised, and not built with the infrastructure needed to allow them to reach their full potential.

There was no system tailor-made to support the thriving economy of AI agents, hence Kite AI is stepping in as the novel infrastructure layer.

Kite AI is not another AI project; it is the base layer for every decentralised AI agent that will operate and transact with identity in 2025 and beyond.

What is Kite AI?

Kite AI is building the foundational infrastructure that powers autonomous agents to operate and transact with identity, payment, governance, and verification.

It is the base layer of the agent-powered internet and the first infrastructure to provide for autonomous agents that are uniquely identified and have native access to stablecoins, making it the first AI payment blockchain.

Kite AI leverages Avalanche’s multichain architecture, which allows for customisable, purpose-built, and scalable L1 blockchains. This makes her the leading AI Agent infrastructure on Avalanche and beyond.

Why Kite AI?

The internet was designed for humans; however, AI agents rely on the human-centric internet daily while carrying out their purpose. As a result, AI Agents lack identity and cannot be used for risk-free payments because they are slow and localised and constantly demand manual verification.

The nature of the internet alongside its core flaw which is centralisation cannot carry the demands of autonomous agents or cater for the AI domination that is incoming. This is why Kite AI was built.

Simply put, Kite is building the internet for Autonomous Agents.

How Kite AI Works?

Kite AI’s performance is sponsored by its unique innovation and core technology.

Kite is powered by proof of attributed intelligence (PoAI), a custom consensus mechanism that tracks and rewards agents accordingly.

Kite AI also has a four-layer architecture, which ensures it delivers the expected infrastructure for AI agents while ensuring security and speed.

The four layers include:

Kite AI Layer 1 Chain: The Base Layer is a purpose-built EVM-compatible L1 designed to serve as the execution and settlement layer for all stablecoin native payments authorised by AI agents. It serves as the dedicated blockspace for payments, which prevents congestion and ensures instant settlement with low fees.

Kite AI Platform Layer: This is for an agent-ready APIs. To remove developer complexity, this layer focuses on identity management, API authorisation, and payment processing.

Kite Agent Ecosystem: This layer dictates the standard for Agents within the ecosystem, like the Kite passport for identification and x402 protocol for payments.

The Application Ecosystem: This is basically the Kite ecosystem which functions as an AI app marketplace and agent ecosystem for service discovery and reputation networks.

These core architectures combine to make AI agents first-class economic actors, all because of Kite AI.

Key Features & Benefits of Kite AI

Stablecoin-native: With Kite chain, every transaction settles in stablecoins with predictable & low fees.

Programmable constraints: Agent spending rules are enforced via the cryptographic reputation system, not through trust.

Compliance-ready: Every AI payment record is stored on the blockchain, which is immutable and can also be privacy-preserving with selective disclosure.

The Three-Layer Identity Architecture:

This agent identification model separates the user, agent and session into 3 identities called root, delegated and ephemeral authority respectively. This identity architecture helps to ensure network security and create a reputation system that gives room for trust.

Who Should Pay Attention to Kite AI?

Who and which industry can benefit from Kite’s features and architecture?

Kite AI supports the following users & key players:

Commerce:

These allow individuals to use personal AI agents for end to end online shopping, with and without human interference and escape the risks originally involved in using AI for payments.

Fintech/Portfolio Management:

Kite ensures programmed constraints and risk management strategies that allow for AI-driven trading strategy and portfolio optimization.

Agent-powered Monetization:

Data, models and tools specifically designed for AI agents can be properly monetized on Kite through her verifiable, autonomous payment infrastructure for AI agents through Kite Passport and delegation proof.

Blockchain developers: Developers building solutions using autonomous agents and AI flows could deploy them on the Kite Agent Store, earn usage fees, etc.

End users or enterprises: They can integrate AI agent services to automate tasks and transact seamlessly.

Compared to Web2/Web3 alternatives, Web2 AI platforms are centralized, lack transparency and designed to reward the big players while alternatives on traditional blockchains lack the infrastructure stack compatible for AI agents.

Kite AI has built a specialized infrastructure for the agentic economy, with built-in attribution and payments that tops alternative options.

Kite AI’s Ecosystem Impact - Why It Matters to the Avalanche Ecosystem.

Developer growth: As Kite AI grows, it creates an ecosystem where developers and institutions can seamlessly build, collaborate, and scale within the Avalanche ecosystem.

The Network effect: As more agents, models, and data providers join the ecosystem, value grows across the stack.

Avalanche housing the first purpose-built Layer1 for AI advances the AI innovations on Avalanche and is in line with the Avalanche adoption goal.

We’re proud to bring the first purpose-built Layer 1 for AI to Avalanche. Our testnet launch advances blockchain AI innovations and introduces the next generation of AI-driven infrastructure for Web3 builders,” said Chi, CEO of Kite AI. “

What’s Next? (Roadmap & Future Plans)

Chain Mainnet launch: The Kite AI Ozone testnet has been running for months. The mainnet deployment is coming soon.

The Agentic Network: This will be where you can shop, order groceries, hail rides, or buy gifts on the world’s first AI agent marketplace without leaving your preferred service.

Ecosystem Growth: The Kite ecosystem currently has a suite of defi apps and is positioned to grow even more upon the mainnet.

Enterprise Integrations: As AI/Blockchain adoption grows, Kite will partner with large enterprises to increase the number of real-world agent applications.

Tokenomics & Token Launch: The KITE token launches today! Tokenomics and airdrop checker are live as well. The total supply of KITE is capped at 10 billion and distributed as follows.
