Use cases
Sample AI financial use cases
Each sector within the Kite AI ecosystem represents a unique opportunity to innovate and redefine how AI interacts with emerging markets. From predictive arbitrage to reputation-based identity, Kite AI addresses long-standing limitations in DeFi, manual execution, static strategies, and opaque decision-making, with autonomous systems built for dynamic market conditions. Below, we break down key DeFi challenges and how Kite’s agent-based architecture offers powerful, real-time solutions.Each use case within the Kite AI DeFi ecosystem (for example and as shown below) as showcases how autonomous agents can reshape financial coordination and unlock new economic efficiencies.
AI Yield Agents
AI Yield Agents on Kite AI act like smart financial advisors for your crypto assets. Instead of manually moving funds across DeFi protocols, these agents automatically shift your liquidity to wherever the best returns are, whether it’s Kite-native vaults. They use real-time market data, understand your risk preferences, and rebalance your assets to optimize yield. This removes the guesswork and delay of manual strategies, making yield farming smarter, faster, and more efficient for developers and users alike.
AI-Driven Trading & Arbitrage
Kite AI enables AI agents that trade like high-frequency desks, identifying price gaps across DEXes and executing trades with low latency. These agents use predictive models, real-time feeds, and MEV-resistant execution to capture arbitrage opportunities faster than humans or bots can. Developers can deploy agents with permissioned profiles that continuously learn from prior performance, unlocking smarter and more efficient trading strategies.
AI-Based Staking
Think of these agents as smart bankers that constantly look for the best staking deals. Instead of locking into one LST or pool, Kite AI agents analyze validator yields, simulate reallocation moves, and auto-adjust deposits across staking options based on the user’s preferences. This gives developers an easy way to offer auto-staking services that are optimized, personalized, and secure.
Agent-Native DeFi Assets & Identity
On Kite AI, agents build on-chain reputations, just like a robo-trader with a credit score. These identities unlock new DeFi roles (like vault managers or LP allocators) based on agent behavior, performance, and slashing history. Developers can tap into this reputation layer to enforce trust, gate access to capital, or create new financial primitives tied to agent reliability.
Agent-Based Vaults
These vaults are like autonomous hedge funds, users deposit assets, and AI agents handle everything else. Built on Kite AI, the vaults dynamically adjust strategy (e.g., Pendle discount trades or long/short positions) based on performance metrics and market changes. Agents are verified through PoAI, ensuring vaults evolve with the market rather than staying static or needing human managers.
AI On-Chain Intelligence (for Airdrops)
Instead of manually checking eligibility for every airdrop, Kite AI lets agents do the work. These agents scan wallet activity, detect eligibility criteria, and either notify users or auto-claim rewards. For developers, it’s a way to build tools that unlock airdrop alpha, boost community rewards, and automate claim workflows.
AI Risk Markets & Vault Insurance
Kite AI agents can act as real-time risk auditors for DeFi vaults. They monitor performance, detect abnormal losses, and trigger coverage through decentralized insurance or custom risk markets. Developers can use this to build safer DeFi products that respond to market shocks and offer dynamic coverage without relying on static insurance pools.
AEV – Agent Extractable Value
Something innovative like Agent Extractable Value (AEV), a new way to prioritize intelligent agent actions, like how validators prioritize high-fee transactions. Agents with higher scores get preferred execution rights in protocols. This creates a performance-based economy where better agents, measured by accuracy, uptime, and reliability, get rewarded with faster execution and better opportunities.
Intent Assets
Asset interaction through the lens of AI intent, where agents execute actions based on user-defined goals rather than manual triggers. One powerful application is the NFT-ization of AI and data assets, turning them into intent-aware assets that can be programmatically exchanged or staked. By enabling direct NFT-to-token conversions, this unlocks greater liquidity and smoother execution for AI-powered workflows. Backed by existing code infrastructure, this vision lays the groundwork for intent-driven asset markets where AI agents transact autonomously on behalf of users.
