Big news from the agentic front: Visa just announced a breakthrough milestone—hundreds of secure, agent-initiated transactions have been successfully completed in partnership with ecosystem players. This proves that AI agents are now reliably handling real-world payments, from intent to execution, in controlled production environments.
As Visa's SVP Rubail Birwadker noted, this paves the way for mainstream adoption in 2026, where agents won't just assist—they'll complete purchases independently.
This external progress aligns perfectly with what @KITE AI has been building: the decentralized Layer 1 infrastructure to make agentic commerce truly permissionless, secure, and scalable beyond centralized systems.
Kite's key advantages remain unmatched:
Agent Passports → Cryptographic identities with provenance, allowing agents to authenticate trustlessly across any platform
Programmable Delegation → Enforceable spending controls and instant revocation for safe, real-money autonomy
High-Throughput Stablecoin Rails → Optimized for the millions of micropayments these agent workflows will generate
The team's momentum hasn't slowed:
Latest biweekly report highlighting Visa and AWS deepening agentic infrastructure
CEO @ChiZhangData on podcasts explaining the AI-native L1 necessity
CTO @scottshics presenting alongside leaders from Alibaba, Ant Group, and Baidu
Global builder events from Chiang Mai dev parties to vibrant Seoul meetups
Ozone Testnet continues delivering elite performance, while elite backers like PayPal Ventures, General Catalyst, and Coinbase Ventures support the push to Mainnet.
$KITE powers staking, governance, and ecosystem incentives in a capped-supply model ready for the trillions in agent-driven value now accelerating into reality.
Centralized milestones are impressive—but the decentralized future runs on Kite.
Higher together 🪁
