Kite is a payments-first agent L1 that gives AI agents real cryptographic identities, programmable spending constraints, and sub-cent stablecoin micropayments via state channels—plus verifiable SLAs, audit trails, and reputation. Builders integrate through an EVM stack and agent-friendly protocols (MCP/A2A), while the KITE token (10 B cap) underpins access, module liquidity locks, staking, and governance, with protocol commissions swapped into KITE to link token value to actual AI service usage; validators and delegators stake to specific modules, and a novel piggy-bank emission favors long-term contributors.
