Kite is built to remove that fear.
$KITE is an EVM-compatible PoS Layer-1 designed for agentic payments and real-time agent coordination—with security built around how agents actually behave.
Here’s what makes it different:
3-layer identity: User → Agent → Session
Agents get delegated identities (via BIP-32), and sessions are short-lived “mission keys” so one leak doesn’t mean losing everything.
Programmable constraints: spending limits + permissions enforced so agents can’t overreach—even when they’re wrong.
State channels for micropayments: near-instant, low-cost pay-per-request activity without drowning in fees.
Modules: specialized ecosystems plugged into the same L1, coordinating services + incentives at scale.
And the economics are structured, not vague:
KITE max supply: 10B
Utility rolls out in 2 phases:
Phase 1: ecosystem participation + incentives
Phase 2: staking + governance + fee/commission mechanics
Stablecoin-denominated gas (predictable costs for agents)
Staking thresholds (as stated in project docs):
Module Owner: 30,000,000 KITE
Validator: 1,000,000 KITE
Delegator: 166,667 KITE
Fresh traction signals from 2025:
$18M Series A (total $33M) led by PayPal Ventures and General Catalyst
Binance Launchpool + listing (Nov 2025) with 150M KITE rewards, and 1.8B KITE initial circulating (18%)
