In 2025, Kite is becoming the most followed emerging force in the Crypto Assets sector. This Blockchain platform is rapidly advancing the application of the agency economy on-chain with strong financing.

The growth path of Kite is worth following. Top-tier capital such as PayPal Ventures and General Catalyst has long recognized this project, with General Catalyst leading the A-round financing with an investment of $18 million, bringing the total financing scale to $33 million. This money is significant for Kite—it provides ample ammunition for both technology research and development as well as ecosystem construction.

From a technical architecture perspective, Kite has built a Layer 1 chain compatible with EVM, utilizing the PoAI consensus mechanism. What is the core advantage of this solution? The cost of AI agents executing transactions on-chain is almost negligible, less than $0.000001, and the transaction confirmation time only takes 1 second. Low cost and high efficiency are the prerequisites for AI's large-scale participation in on-chain activities.

A more significant development occurred on November 12 of this year. Kite officially launched the x402b protocol - an AI micropayment standard led by Coinbase and developed in collaboration with tech giants like Cloudflare. This protocol activates the HTTP 402 status code, allowing AI agents to have direct payment capabilities without requiring human authorization for each transaction. Agents can make independent decisions and payments, greatly expanding the scope of AI's activities on-chain.

From the user's perspective, Kite's three-tier identity system is also constantly improving. The user layer ensures that humans retain the highest level of control, while the agent layer provides traceable identity verification through encryption technology. The entire architecture guarantees both flexibility and security. This design approach reflects the project's serious consideration of decentralization and user sovereignty.
