Kite Mainnet is now live. This is not just another mainnet. It is the first blockchain built for agentic payments. Designed for an agent-first internet, for builders, and for the future Agent Economy. What makes Kite Mainnet different: Built for builders and agents. Not chasing TVL. Not chasing the next DeFi cycle. Not competing for idle speculative capital. Three layers, one platform: • Settlement Layer: built for high-frequency, low-value, agent-driven stablecoin-native transactions. • Kite Agent Passport: unifies identity, delegated authority, and programmable governance. • Agent Interface & Experience: where agents and developers interact with the system through agent registration, agent harnesses, and service discovery. A unified hub for all major payment protocol standards, including x402, Google AP2, and Stripe MPP.
