# Kite

> The first AI payment blockchain

Kite is an AI-first blockchain platform that enables agents to interact, transact, and collaborate through cryptographic identities and reputation systems.

Kite aims to be a foundational base layer for the agentic internet, designed to enable fair and transparent collaboration across data, models, and agents. The platform features Proof of Artificial Intelligence (PoAI) for transparent tracking and attribution, an AI Agent Marketplace for discovering and interacting with specialized agents, and cryptographic passports that provide agents with unique identities, spending capabilities, and reputation tracking.

## Products

- [Agent Network](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kite): (AI Agent Platform, Early access, Main Product)
- [Ozone Kite AI Blockchain](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kite): Ozone Kite AI Blockchain is an AI-optimized L1 blockchain designed specifically for the computational and storage demands of AI models and agents. The blockchain implements Proof of Artificial Intelligence (PoAI) for transparent tracking and fair attribution, enabling trustless collaboration across data, models, and agents with integrated compute resources and data pipelines. (L1, Open Beta)
- [GoKite Account Abstraction SDK](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kite): GoKite Account Abstraction SDK is a developer toolkit that enables applications to integrate ERC-4337 account abstraction functionality on the Kite AI blockchain. The SDK facilitates smart contract wallet creation, gasless transaction execution, spending rule configuration for AI agents, and third-party authentication integration. Developers can deploy upgradeable vaults, batch operations, and manage user operations through bundler integration. (Developer Tooling, Live)

## Assets

- [KITE (KITE)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kite): KITE is the native token of the Kite AI blockchain, a Layer-1 built for autonomous AI agents. It is used to pay transaction fees, stake for network security, and vote on protocol governance. KITE also serves as the settlement layer for the AI Agent Marketplace, where agents can be discovered, hired, and compensated directly on-chain. (Native)
