Introduction

Kite provides the trust layer for the agentic internet through an EVM-compatible blockchain.

Current state of internet

Today's internet was designed only for humans, but AI agents will have even more significant roles in near future. Without a new approach, it will suffer from lack of identity, trust, and scalable payments.

🎯 What is Kite?

Kite is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain for AI and the agentic internet that focusses on solving three core challenges:

🔐 Agent Native Identity & Auth

Portable: Login to any app with your agent identity, just like using Gmail everywhere
Interoperable: Agents interact with any service without repeated sign-ups
Reputation-based: Agents have their own ID and reputation, but can share their owner's reputation with provable lineage
Simplified: Replaces the M×N auth maze with cryptographic solutions

⚖️ Agent Native Governance

Programmable permissions for autonomous agent execution
Context-aware, fine-grained authorization controls

💳 Agent Native Payments

Instant, stablecoin-native settlements for machine-to-machine micropayments
Near-zero fees, eliminating overcomplicated payment infrastructure

🛠️ Kite Architecture

Kite's architecture is designed with modularity at its core, giving developers the flexibility to pick and use different components based on their needs. From the Base Layer (EVM-compatible infra, KiteVM extensions, Proof of AI consensus) to the Platform (SDKs, APIs, scalability), each piece can be adopted independently or combined for end-to-end workflows.

Developers can integrate Proof of AI for attribution and rewards, plug into the Programmable AI Value Chain for composable multi-agent workflows, leverage Developer Tools to build and launch agents quickly, and connect with the Agent Ecosystem through MCP, passports, SLAs, and modules.

Finally, the Application Ecosystem provides a marketplace to scale and monetize these agents. This modular stack ensures flexibility, scalability, and interoperability for building AI-native applications.
