Formerly Zettablock, Kite builds foundational trust infrastructure for the “agentic web,” and today launched Kite AIR, a suite providing programmable agent identities, native stablecoin payments and policy enforcement with components like Agent Passport and an Agent App Store. Kite said Kite AIR is live with integrations for merchants on platforms including Shopify and Paypal, enabling agents to authenticate, transact and access services onchain with millisecond settlements and low fees. Investors also include 8VC, Samsung Next, Vertex Ventures and Animoca Brands. Kite plans further integrations across commerce, finance and data ecosystems.
