Every day on your way to work, you might pass the same place but rarely stop to really look. The weeds in the cracks of the pavement, the streetlights that haven't fully gone out—these details are always there, just easily overlooked. The Kite project is somewhat similar in that regard.
When it comes to blockchain, most people's minds are still filled with the old clichés: trading coins, airdrops, where the next hundredfold coin is. But Kite's approach is completely different. It aims to solve a deeper problem: as AI software becomes smarter, can they automatically exchange value and collaborate without human confirmation at every step?
In other words, making interactions between machines as natural and seamless as scanning a QR code to buy coffee. Sounds like science fiction? But they've been doing it for a while. In Kite's early test network, billions of AI agent interaction data have been accumulated, with user participation reaching millions. Users try out various AI tools on-chain—some explore, some make mistakes, some stumble—these activities may not seem dazzling, but they genuinely reflect the level of actual usage.
From a funding perspective, Kite has raised about $33 million, mostly from institutional investors focused on infrastructure. These types of capital don't chase short-term hot trends; they care more about whether this thing will still be usable ten years from now. It's not the kind of excitement that comes from a quick hype; it's more like a tree quietly taking root underground—you might overlook it if you're not paying close attention.
Another often underestimated move is their ecosystem layout. Truly foundational projects are rarely in a rush to go viral; instead, they build the base steadily step by step.

Automated machine interaction is indeed interesting, but to be honest, I'm not sure how much of the million-user hype is genuine demand or just free-riding.
Scanning codes to buy coffee between AI Agents? Sounds very sci-fi. Let's see it implemented before making any judgments.
Infrastructure-related things are like this—no attention often means more stability. When it suddenly explodes one day, you'll realize how deep the prior accumulation was.

Wait, automatic trading between AIs? That sounds more surreal than me getting chopped by gas fees every day.

Hmm... AI Agent automatic interaction does have potential, but can hundreds of millions of interaction data truly prove the point? It still seems that real commercialization implementation is the key.

Hey, wait a minute, automatic trading between AIs? How much trust would that require to feel confident...

This is the kind of niche but promising project that operates quietly at its roots; in ten years, it might suddenly become astonishing. But we have to watch it slowly.

Oh, so that's the neglected infrastructure, indeed easy to get caught up in the noise of various "next hundredfold" promises.
AI automatic interaction value exchange... sounds pretty impressive, but it depends on whether it can actually be implemented.
Hundreds of millions of interaction data sounds much more credible, and more reliable than those projects that only boast.
Infrastructure financing, with such a stable investor, shows they are truly thinking long-term.
Slowly building the foundation might be a bit boring, but it definitely looks like doing serious work.
Projects that are not in a rush to make headlines are actually worth paying attention to.
