KITE (KITE) – A comprehensive overview of the KITE project (or Kite AI) in the field of cryptocurrencies, including what is known about it, its advantages, challenges, and key points to pay attention to.
1. What is the KITE project?
The Kite AI project presents itself as a "Layer 1" blockchain dedicated to building what is known as the "Agentic Internet" — an environment where intelligent agents (AI agents) can work, trade, and interact semi-independently.
In other words: instead of the blockchain being just a platform for smart contracts and currency transactions, KITE aims to be the infrastructure for AI agents capable of interacting, paying, and engaging with each other or with users/products according to pre-programmed software.
Example: An AI agent can negotiate a price, pay independently, and interact with a service – all of this almost without direct human intervention, and it all uses a blockchain-based infrastructure, which is what the project aims for.
2. The main components of the project and technical features
Identity and Smart Entities (Agent Identity & Governance): The project provides 'Agent Passports' and cryptographic identity for each smart agent, with programmable governance capabilities.
Automated payment/instant payments (Agentic Payments): nearly instant payment, low fees, enabling smart agents to execute transactions quickly and efficiently.
AI-specific consensus mechanism (Proof of Attributed Intelligence – PoAI): instead of traditional framework mechanisms, the project focuses on tracking the value of AI contributions (models, data, agents) and rewarding them.
Developer environment and ready 'agents' (Agent Store / Marketplace): a marketplace that allows the deployment of agents, APIs, AI services, where others can interact with or pay for them.
3. Funding and partnerships
In September 2025, Kite announced a Series A funding of 18 million dollars led by PayPal Ventures and General Catalyst, bringing the total announced funding to about 33 million dollars.
The project has established technical partnerships with quality institutions such as Avalanche Foundation and Filecoin Foundation, as part of building the infrastructure for data and models.
--4. Tokenomics$KITE
Total announced supply: 10 000 000 000 (ten billion) KITE tokens.
At the initial listing, the circulating supply will be about 1.8 billion tokens (≈ 18% of the total supply) as announced.
Distribution: about 48% allocated to the ecosystem and community, 20% for the team and advisors, 12% for investors.
5. Why might it be a promising project?
Integrating AI + blockchain is one of the most important future trends — the KITE project explicitly targets this intersection.
It has credible funding and partnerships, giving it initial credibility.
Distinctive feature: the ability to enable AI agents to perform almost independently, which could open a large market for services, transactions, and smart agents.
The tokenomics that allocate a large share for the community and ecosystem can encourage participation and value building.
