We’ve been tracking this friction point across our portfolio and the broader infrastructure layer for the last twelve months. Would love to hear from other operators. @GoKiteAI @Alchemy @primus_labs @ForteProtocol @Fluxai_Ai
Just in the last few months: Mastercard launched Agent Pay. Alchemy shipped agent infra. Kite pushed delegated identity. Ripple expanded agent tooling. Yet autonomous agents still aren’t autonomous. We’re looking at the wrong bottleneck.

The next wave of adoption is going to be driven by software, not speculation. AI agents need purpose-built rails to coordinate and pay each other, and Kite is shipping the full stack to make that happen. Excited to back this vision from day one.
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.

1/3 The current Web3 landscape: • Web2 data remains siloed and unreachable. • Traditional oracles leak your intent to the world. • Privacy in DApps is currently a forced trade-off between trust and UX. We deserve better. 🌟

14/ @primus_labs lets you verify and compute any data in web3. Primus uses zkTLS & zkFHE to validate web data and utilize it in an encrypted form. This brings private, verifiable web data into Ethereum without exposing user details.

In a sea of payments focused agent companies and generic infra, Kite stands out by making verifiable outcomes the core. Agents don't just call APIs; they interact w/ live, tamper-proof data across domains. This shifts the web to agent first, where bots handle trades or logistics

From sub-100ms ingestion and schema drift to crypto proofs, ZettaBlock laid the groundwork. Now Kite is making it real: verifiable IDs, enforceable rules, seamless payments. It’s the shift from human-first to agent-native infrastructure.

Patrick's insights are spot on: For AI and crypto to achieve mass adoption, we must establish clear frameworks for agent liability. Ensuring that autonomous agents are accountable is essential. It's imperative that we maintain control over AI, rather than being controlled by it.
Most AI agents are useless. They can’t hold $50K in escrow, prove credentials, or transact independently. They’re just wrappers on APIs or tokens, not economic actors. Here’s what matters linkedin.com/posts/patricknc… 1/9

can’t forget about @pharos_network! identity and programmable money are just the start @pharos_network is building the settlement backbone for autonomous agent transactions Think programmable escrow, asset movement, atomic onchain finality. critical piece of the agent economy

Don’t forget @pharos_network , Patrick! It can be the asset transaction and payment settlement layer @PCDispersion ! 💪

Most people are building agents to meme or talk. We’re backing teams building agents that can act — with wallets, identity, capital, and rules. This is how real autonomy scales. AI agents aren’t the next UI — they’re the next users.

Thrilled to see @GoKiteAI featured alongside major players in @cbventures’ latest report on AI and crypto infrastructure. The report captures the incredible potential of the onchain AI economy. This is an area where Kite AI’s purpose-built L1 will be instrumental for trust and fair collaboration, to sustainably grow the new AI economy. A must-read for anyone tracking the future of AI blockchain.
The next frontier of AI isn’t just smarter. It’s onchain. Here's how the convergence of crypto and AI is giving rise to a burgeoning Onchain AI economy — and why we believe Onchain AI is signaling the next phase of rapid innovation at this intersection ↓
