Kite’s mainnet is live, transitioning from testnet to its own blockchain tailor-made for agentic payments.
Mainnet’s first product is Kite Agent Passport, a programmable wallet and identity system designed for AI agents. Kite Agent Passport lets your AI agent spend money on your behalf while you stay in control by setting the rules, limits, and who it can pay. Passport enables your agents to access funds and pay for e-commerce and services across any LLM (like Claude).
Kite enters mainnet with a broad launch partner roster spanning stablecoins, wallets, bridging, commerce, and identity. Partners include Google (AP2), PayPal (PYUSD), Avalanche, Coinbase (x402 integration), and more.
Kite serves as a unified hub for different payment standards, including Coinbase, Google, Stripe, and Visa, each of which has backed different agent payment standards, and Stripe’s Tempo has also launched a payments-focused Layer-1. Those efforts each target a single layer of the stack: a protocol standard, a wallet, or a chain. Kite bundles all three into one vertically integrated system.
KITE has outperformed amid broader market volatility, breaking into CoinMarketCap’s top 100 and climbing to a top-7 position on Upbit as agentic commerce gains traction, with KITE emerging as a beneficiary of that narrative.
