I recently reviewed the technical documentation of KITE, and this project has a clear approach to AI agent infrastructure. It’s not just a conceptual idea on paper but actively addresses the security and permission issues related to autonomous agent operations.

Currently, the data looks like this—on December 24th, KITE was priced at $0.0904, with a market cap of approximately $163 million, and a 24-hour trading volume of over $35 million. It has pulled back from its initial high after launch, but the trading depth remains solid, with virtually no slippage on orders placed on major exchanges.

The highlight is the Agent Passports, a cryptographic identity system. Imagine, agents are not humans—they also need identification that can be verified, cross-chain transferable, and support reputation accumulation. The key is that permission management is very detailed: when allowing an agent to perform tasks, you can set quota limits and scope restrictions to prevent misuse. The technical architecture uses a three-layer key structure: a root key controls overall authority, an agent key handles daily operations, and session keys are only responsible for temporary channels. This decentralized design helps prevent hijacking when agents run tasks on-chain, reducing abuse risks. Coupled with programmable governance, humans can achieve very fine-grained control over agents—such as limiting daily spending and specifying accessible services—all coded into smart contracts.

The payment system is also highly practical. The KITE chain supports instant micro-payments, with fees at sub-cent levels, enabled by the x402 protocol and state channels for real-time settlement between machines. Stablecoins are built-in, with USDC and PYUSD ready to use out of the box, eliminating the need for cross-chain bridges. The chain is optimized for AI workloads, with a block time of 1 second, and its throughput has been validated on testnets under high concurrency. The mainnet aims for a million TPS. If it can reliably sustain this level, high-frequency interactions in the agent economy will be no problem.

KITE-2.6%

PYUSD-0.01%

0.0904 still dares to boast about a million TPS? Let's solve the slippage issue first.

I need to ponder these three-layer key structures a bit more. It feels like they've really put some thought into preventing abuse. --- Listening to millions of TPS sounds great, but I'm worried it's just on paper. We'll see once the mainnet is truly up and running. --- Such detailed permission management—are they trying to make AI agents also follow the rules? That's quite interesting. --- 0.0904 is still retracing; I'm a bit tempted, but it depends on how well Agent Passports actually perform in practice. --- Instant settlement of state channels—if they can really achieve that, it’s definitely more convenient than a bunch of cross-chain solutions. --- Agents also need ID cards. I didn't think of this logic before—it's pretty clever. --- The depth of trading is quite good, which is a highlight. At least it's not a coin nobody cares about. --- The key is to see who in the ecosystem is actually using KITE's system. No matter how good the concept is, someone has to be using it.

Wow, Agent Passports really are quite interesting. This idea of sending IDs to agents is the first time I've heard of it. The price of 0.0904 is a bit awkward, but the trading depth is really good. I have some questions about the three-layer key system. Would it be too complicated to run in practice? A million TPS sounds unbelievable, but if it can really run stably, that would be amazing.

Bro, these three-layer keys are really not overhyped. If it weren't for the detailed permission control, I would have gone bankrupt from my own bot long ago. --- Agent Passports are quite interesting. It's the first time I've heard that agents need ID cards. --- I believe there's no slippage at 0.0904; it all depends on whether the mainnet can truly be stable at a million TPS. --- Micro-payments at the American level really hit the pain point; otherwise, the high-frequency interaction costs are just unbearable. --- Wait, what does he mean by cross-chain migration? Can the agent directly fly to other chains? --- The hierarchical structure of master keys, agent keys, and session keys looks much more reassuring, unlike some projects that are just on paper. --- With a market cap of 163 million, there's still room for imagination. It all depends on whether the technology can truly be implemented.

Everyone is talking about AI agents, but there aren't many projects that rigorously handle permissions. The three-layer key structure of KITE is indeed quite interesting. The selling point is good; now it depends on whether the mainnet can reach that TPS, the theoretical data looks promising. At this price point, there's still a chance to attract investors, but you just have to resist checking the market.
