Kite AI: Economic Layer for Agentic AI
summary
Kite builds a blockchain-backed transaction and governance layer that gives every autonomous agent an agent passport (ID, wallet, credit score), programmable spending rules and SLA-backed escrow so agents can pay services only after verified delivery. A grocery/Uber demo reaches near 100% ordering accuracy versus ~60% baseline, and agent costs fall ~80% per year while capabilities double roughly every seven months; platform integrates PayPal and claims an early ecosystem of 16 million users and programmable payments for microtransactions.
