Recently, I’ve been exploring a project called Kite, and the more I look into it, the more I feel its approach is quite unique. In simple terms, it aims to build a dedicated underlying blockchain for AI agents—that is, to lay down a high-speed highway specifically for these digital robots.

How are existing blockchain networks designed? They follow human operational habits. We click once, wait, then confirm again. But AI agents don’t work that way. Once they start, they need to operate continuously: check prices, book services, send payments, then move on to the next task. Frequent stutters and delays are disastrous for automation systems.

What’s clever about Kite? First, it uses an EVM architecture, meaning smart contracts that run on major public chains can be directly migrated to Kite. Developers don’t need to relearn new languages, and migration costs are almost zero. But that’s just the surface. The real focus of Kite’s effort is optimizing for the special needs of agents.

Traditional blockchains are designed for humans, with a step-by-step rhythm. But the workflow of agents is completely different—they require tight, efficient interaction loops, quickly stacking small tasks with no pauses in between. Kite positions the network as a real-time foundational layer, optimizing payment and information exchange among agents to avoid the typical human-like delays.

Another highlight is its agent identity system. Humans have IDs; what about agents? They need verifiable identifiers to hold funds and establish trust. Kite has developed an "Agent Passport" mechanism, essentially issuing each agent an encrypted identity credential. This allows agents to operate independently on the network while remaining traceable and trustworthy.

This logic seems to be laying the groundwork for blockchain applications in the AI era, rather than just riding hype. It’s worth paying close attention to.
