Lately I keep thinking about one thing.

It's not that I suddenly thought of it during work, nor did it flash through my mind during a meeting, but rather late at night, alone in front of the screen, flipping through pages of a document. Suddenly, I realized — the way we currently spend money online is still based on a manual process. Clicking buttons, entering passwords, confirming transactions, waiting for results — the entire chain assumes you must be present.

But here’s the problem.

What if, in the future, most transactions are not manually operated by us at all? Imagine tireless AI agents automatically negotiating prices, renewing services, paying bills — this scene is both exciting and a bit creepy.

The Kite project happens to sit at this intersection of issues.

To be clear, it’s not just a project that labels itself as "AI + blockchain" and calls it a day. Essentially, Kite is redesigning a foundational framework — if AI agents are to operate autonomously for the long term, they should exist as participants in an economic system: with identities, wallets, the ability to pay, and compliance with rules. And these capabilities don’t require human oversight at every step.

Imagine everyday scenarios like this: your trading bot automatically renews a data source; while on a road trip, content management agents automatically extend cloud storage services; all without manual intervention — everything just happens. Sounds crazy? Actually, upon closer thought, it’s quite reasonable.

But we need to hit the brakes — fundamentally, Kite is still an EVM-compatible chain, meaning it’s built on the existing Ethereum technology ecosystem. On this basis, it grants smart contracts more autonomy and economic identity. That’s the key point.
