@ GoKiteAI, led by Paypal with a financing of 33M, wants to develop an AI agent payment chain.
"Agent Internet" is a new concept, which refers to the Internet form in which AI Agent can independently make decisions and perform tasks on behalf of users.
Taking tourism as an example, you have to buy your own plane tickets, book hotels, and determine your itinerary, and this process requires personal effort.
In Agentic Internet, AI agents will handle these tasks for you. They can independently compare flights, book hotels, and recommend itineraries, similar to an AI secretary.
The next stage of this paradigm is' payment ', where AI agents can not only assist users in executing transactions, but also' make direct payments' on their behalf.
However, the current Web2 payment system is designed for "people" and cannot support the model of "AI agents making payments themselves".
There are three reasons:
1/AI lacks independent payment identity.
When making payments, manual authorization from the user is ultimately required, such as entering passwords or facial recognition authentication. AI cannot trade independently.
2/Traditional payment systems have high costs and slow speeds.
AI agents will call APIs and data sources every second, which means there will be high-frequency demand for small payments. However, traditional payment systems are expensive and slow, and cannot meet this demand.
3/AI autonomous payment is unsettling.
When AI is able to make payments on its own, the question becomes, 'How do I know what it's doing? Will it spend money recklessly?'.
In traditional systems, users cannot see AI code or know the entire process of payment execution.
Kite wants to put the payment logic of AI agents on the blockchain to solve the above problems.
It is building an L1 chain with a Kite AIR platform aimed at providing AI agents with a verifiable and traceable identity.
▪️ For users.
They need to register a Kitepass for their AI agent, which can prove 'who it belongs to'.
Kitepass is also a digital wallet where users can customize payment rules for AI agents, such as "spending up to XX dollars per day".
▪️ For developers.
They can use the Kite SDK toolkit to create new AI agents.
▪️ For service providers.
They can list APIs, AI models, data services, and more on the Kite Agent App Store. For example, Shopify, Uber, Codatta, Masa, etc.
At present, Kite AI is in the stage of incentive testing network. You can try it yourself: https://testnet.gokite.ai/landing
