With the development of AI technology, a new economic model is emerging—AI agent economy. Imagine a scenario where you give instructions to an AI, and it can autonomously search the internet for information, negotiate with service providers, and pay for services, all in a completely automated process. This is no longer a concept from science fiction; the technology is gradually approaching realization.

But the core issues that come with it are also laid bare: What will AI use to pay? How will it prove its identity? Who will ensure that it does not misuse funds?

This is exactly the problem that the Kite public chain aims to solve. As a Layer-1 public chain designed specifically for the AI agent economy, Kite features high speed, low cost, and EVM compatibility, allowing AI agents to safely discover tools, negotiate transactions, and complete payments on-chain like real economic entities.

From the perspective of identity verification, Kite's innovation lies in the "proxy passport" mechanism. Each AI agent can obtain a verifiable encrypted identity proof, which not only identifies the source of the agent but also sets detailed permission rules—restricting what actions the agent can perform, the maximum spending limit, and the allowed scope of actions, etc. In this way, although the AI operates independently, all actions are framed by clear rules, and the complete records on the chain ensure traceability and accountability.

On the payment layer, Kite has made specific optimizations for stablecoins and micropayments. Considering the high-frequency trading characteristics of AI calling APIs and pay-per-use, Kite supports real-time small transfers. Furthermore, Kite natively integrates the x402 payment standard—a new emerging automatic payment protocol between agents that allows different AI agents to seamlessly complete transfers and settlements, significantly reducing the cost and complexity of cross-agent interactions.
