What does Kite do?
Kite (formerly ZettaBlock) is building the payments and identity layer for the agent economy — a purpose-built L1 blockchain plus an Agent Passport that gives autonomous AI agents verifiable identity, delegated authority, spending limits and session-scoped permissions. Its stack includes Kite AIR (agent identity/policy rails) and Kite Chain, a settlement layer with sub-second finality and native stablecoin support. Founded by ex-Uber, Databricks, Salesforce and NEAR infrastructure engineers and based in San Francisco.
