KITE AI (@GoKiteAI): A strong week of shipping, signal, and real-world validation for Kite as agentic payments move from theory to production.

A strong week of shipping, signal, and real-world validation for Kite as agentic payments move from theory to production. Here’s what we delivered this week 👇 1️⃣ Kite was included by @galaxyhq Research in the x402 Agentic Payment Stack landscape, reinforcing a clear industry shift: as agents move from answering to executing, payments, authorization, and auditability become the real bottlenecks. 2️⃣ We published the 3rd post in THE AGENT PLAYBOOK, moving from why agentic payments matter to how builders actually implement them. The post walks through building hands-on with Kite, from reading and writing onchain state to executing transactions inside real dApps. 3️⃣ Our Head of BD @lei_lei0904 joined @TheBlockPods Layer One podcast to discuss why agents need purpose-built infrastructure, not general chains, and why standards like x402 are critical as agentic payments enter production environments. 4️⃣ Kite was featured on Maeil Business TV, South Korea’s leading 24-hour economic news network, where our Co-Founder & CEO @ChiZhangData unpacked the shift from subscriptions to granular, usage-based micro-payments for AI agents. The agent economy is moving fast, but the real work is making agents reliable economic actors. That’s the layer we’re building.
