Artificial intelligence agents have moved from laboratories to real-world applications—they are now involved in procuring computing power, negotiating services, paying vendors, and even independently running small business activities. But to make all of this operate at scale, a core infrastructure is essential: a payment network designed for machines.

KITE was created precisely for this purpose. As an EVM-compatible Layer-1 public chain, it treats autonomous agents as first-class citizens, optimizing everything from identity verification and rule enforcement to fund flows according to machine operation speeds.

This approach is fundamentally different from existing solutions. Traditional methods force robots into human-oriented systems, often resulting in awkward fits. KITE takes a reverse approach—**Agent First**. It builds infrastructure truly suited for AI agents, making interactions, transactions, and payments between machines inherently efficient.

What does this mean? Agents are no longer constrained by human transaction speeds, wallet designs, or verification processes. They can flow like data packets, quickly exchanging value and forming self-sustaining economic cycles. As AI applications become more complex, this kind of blockchain optimized for machines could become the next major infrastructure track.
