What is Kite (KITE) crypto?

Kite is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain built for AI-agent payments and identity. The network gives autonomous AI agents on-chain identities (Kite Agent Passports), funded wallets and configurable spending rules, so machines can authenticate and pay each other with stablecoins. KITE is the chain's native gas and settlement asset. The project was formerly known as Zettablock and is led by founder Chi Zhang. DropsTab classifies Kite under Blockchain and AI Agents.

How do AI agents pay each other on the Kite blockchain?

Each agent receives a Kite Agent Passport, an on-chain identity, together with a funded wallet and spending rules set by its owner. When one agent buys a service from another, the payment settles on-chain in stablecoins, including through Coinbase's x402 HTTP-native payment standard. This design lets software authenticate, transact and settle without a human approving each payment.

Is KITE a coin or a token?

KITE is a coin: the native gas and settlement asset of the Kite chain, used to pay transaction fees on the network. Bridged versions also exist as ERC-20 and BEP-20 tokens at one identical address, 0x904567252d8f48555b7447c67dca23f0372e16be, on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain and Avalanche C-chain. Bridged holdings can be checked on Etherscan, and the native chain has its own explorer.

How is the KITE token supply allocated?

KITE has a fixed maximum supply of 10,000,000,000 tokens, confirmed by both DropsTab and Binance's Launchpool announcement. Per DropsTab data, the allocation splits as Ecosystem & Community 48% (4.8 billion), Team 20% (2 billion), Modules 20% (2 billion) and Investors 12% (1.2 billion). At the token generation event, 1.8 billion KITE, 18% of supply, entered circulation.

What does KITE's vesting and unlock schedule mean for investors?

Per DropsTab vesting data, the token generation event took place on November 3, 2025. Investor and Team tokens carry a 12-month cliff: on November 3, 2026, 300 million KITE (Investors) and 500 million KITE (Team) unlock together, 8% of total supply in a single day. That event is the largest scheduled unlock after the TGE and a material source of sell pressure. Monthly releases of roughly 25 million (Investors) and 41.7 million (Team) follow from December 3, 2026, with insider allocations fully unlocked by about 2030.

Who backed Kite and how much has it raised?

Kite raised $33 million in total funding. The Series A, announced September 2, 2025, raised $18 million and was co-led by PayPal Ventures and General Catalyst, with 8VC, Samsung NEXT and Alumni Ventures participating. Coinbase Ventures joined through a strategic extension announced October 27, 2025, tied to agentic payments via the x402 protocol. An earlier round on February 6, 2025 brought in Hashed, HashKey Capital, General Catalyst and Samsung NEXT; its amount was not disclosed.

What does Kite's investor lineup signal about project maturity?

The backer list combines payments incumbents with established crypto funds. PayPal Ventures and Coinbase Ventures both invest in agentic commerce, and Coinbase's extension links directly to the x402 standard Kite supports, a strategic endorsement rather than a purely financial one. Multiple institutional co-leads across rounds point to no single-backer concentration. Investor tokens equal 12% of supply and start unlocking after the November 2026 cliff, so scheduled backer supply is transparent.

Did KITE hold an ICO or an airdrop?

KITE held no public ICO or IDO sale. Distribution ran through Binance Launchpool: the farming campaign allocated 150,000,000 KITE, 1.5% of supply, to users who staked BNB, USDC or FDUSD, with 85% of rewards in the BNB pool. Farming ran in the two days before spot trading opened. A separate 50,000,000 KITE bucket is reserved for post-listing marketing campaigns in batches starting six months after listing.

Where is KITE traded?

Per DropsTab data, KITE trades on more than 25 spot venues and 5+ derivative venues. Fiat on-ramps exist through Coinbase (KITE/USD), Upbit (KITE/KRW) and BtcTurk (KITE/TRY), alongside stablecoin markets on Binance, OKX and KuCoin. Perpetual futures trade on Binance Futures, Bybit and OKX, among others. DropsTab lists no decentralized-exchange pairs for KITE, so liquidity is concentrated on centralized venues.
