The future of AI isn't just smarter chatbots. It's autonomous agents that can act in the real world.
But how does an AI agent pay for things, prove its identity, and operate safely without constant human oversight?
That’s where Kite AI comes in. 🧵👇🏻
1/
$KITE is listed on Binance, Coinbase, OKX, KuCoin, Bybit, Bitget.
The Alpha Mainnet is already live.
The Public Mainnet is expected to arrive in Q1 2026 with stablecoin support.
This is the first payments blockchain built specifically for AI.
2/ Legacy payments don’t work for AI:
📌 Cards settle in seconds (agents need milliseconds)
📌 Fees are $0.30+ (agents need micro-fees)
📌 API key leaks everywhere
AI moves fast, but our systems don’t.
3/ Techonology Stack:
Kite’s L1 on Avalanche is built for agents:
📌 1s blocks
📌 \~$0.000001 tx fees for true micropayments
📌 Programmable identity with layered security
📌 Policy enforcement at protocol level
4/ Three key innovations:
1️⃣ Agent Passport Framework - identity, reputation, audit trails
2️⃣ Programmable Payment Policies - enforceable rules
3️⃣ Agent App Store - agents buy/sell services autonomously
5/
Agent Passports give each agent:
📌 Verifiable ID
📌 Portable reputation
📌 Tamper-proof audit trails
Think “corporate card for AI,” but cryptographic.
6/
Programmable policies mean agents can’t overspend or break rules. Eg:
📌 “Max $200/day”
📌 “Only pay allowlisted”
📌 “Require human approval above $5K”
Even if hacked, rules hold.
7/
Agent App Store – A decentralized marketplace where:
📌 Agents buy APIs, data, and compute
📌 Developers monetize per use (not subscriptions)
📌 Merchants become discoverable to shopping agents
The first real economy where AI agents can earn and spend.
8/ $KITE TOKEN – The Fuel of the Network
Total Supply: 10B
Utility:
📌 Gas (burned every tx)
📌 Staking (PoAI consensus)
📌 Module bonds
📌 Governance
9/ Live integrations:
📌 Shopify: 100+ merchants; agents can compare prices & buy products autonomously
📌 PayPal: PYUSD support via public APIs
📌 Stablecoins: USDC live; PYUSD, USDT, RLUSD coming Q1 2026
10/ Integrations worth noting:
x402 Standard – Kite is the first L1 with native support for Coinbase’s machine-to-machine payment protocol
LayerZero – Omnichain messaging for multi-chain agents
11/ Backers – $33M Series A (Sept 2025):

Lead Investors:
📌 PayPal Ventures
📌 General Catalyst
📌 Coinbase Ventures
Plus 26 more, including Samsung NEXT, Avalanche, Animoca Brands, Alchemy, LayerZero, HashKey, GSR, and more.
12/ Why PayPal matters:
PayPal dominates human e-commerce payments globally.
They don't invest in random crypto projects.
Their $33M bet signals they see agentic commerce as the next frontier, and Kite as the infrastructure layer that makes it possible.
13/ The Agentic Internet Vision:
We're transitioning from: AI as a tool (you tell it what to do)
To: AI as an actor (it operates independently within boundaries you set)
Kite provides the trust layer: identity, permissions, verifiable payments.
14/ Imagine these scenarios:
Your AI spots a discount, negotiates with a merchant, and buys the item (within your $500 daily limit).
A data provider earns $0.001 per agent API call.
Supply-chain agents negotiate shipping and settle instantly.
All without human involvement.
15/ Conclusion:
AI can think today, but it still can’t act.
Kite’s mainnet changes that by giving agents verified identity and autonomous payments.
This is how AI shifts from backend automation to a global, agent-driven economy.

Rewards for holding RLUSD on Advanced Trader?

XRP isn’t needed for staking like ETH, but the XRP Ledger uses it as the built-in bridge asset for payments. Tokens like RLUSD can be used for transfers, but they’re tied to an issuer and can’t serve as a neutral, trustless bridge between different banks or currencies. Because liquidity is fragmented across many tokens and issuers, the ledger relies on a single asset that’s accepted everywhere and carries no counterparty risk — and that’s what XRP provides. In short: banks can use other tokens for payments, but they still need XRP as the neutral “middle asset” that connects everything.

Why do they need to hold it? If they are moving 100k from one country to another, can't they buy 100k of it and then sell it on the other end in the new currency? Why do they need a balance sheet of XRP for such transations, and why couldn't they use RLUSD instead of XRP?

Why though is holding XRP necessary? I get that you hold ETH to participate in the consensus protocol. The more people use ETH, the more ETH the stakepool operators get, the more gets distributed to the stakers. Holding/Staking ETH helps the network run.
So I hold XRP as a hedge as I can't possibly know everything. I am learning though. I don't fully understand yet, why a bank can't use the XRP ledger, use RLUSD or another new token that comes out in the future and bypass the XRP token. What protects the commuity from that.
I hope my question isn't too newby. Still learning.

Ethena’s synthetic stablecoin USDe just had one of its sharpest monthly drops, falling from $9.3B → $7.1B in November. Thats roughly $2.2B in redemptions, or a 24% supply contraction, according to CoinGecko data.
Meanwhile, fiat backed stablecoins like USDT, USDC, PYUSD, and even RLUSD saw billions in new inflows, showing that dollar collateralized models still dominate user trust during volatility.
For context:
USDe is *synthetic*, meaning it maintains its peg through crypto + futures strategies instead of holding real dollars. The big outflows suggest users are either selling USDe on the market, removing liquidity, or unwinding positions across DeFi.
Zooming out, the total stablecoin market now sits at $311B, with U.S. dollar backed assets making up $303B of that. Despite new models entering the space, the market clearly still leans toward fully collateralized structures.
Not financial advice, just a notable shift in stablecoin dynamics worth watching.
