Kite Passport is live: cryptographic identity for AI agents on Avalanche

AI Agents Aren’t Just Answering Questions Anymore

They’re booking travel, executing payments, and coordinating across services. The question has always been: how do you enable an AI agent to act in the world, with accountability, permissions, and a real identity?

Today, Kite answers that question.

Kite has launched its mainnet as a sovereign Avalanche L1, along with Kite Passport – a cryptographic identity and delegation system that lets AI agents authenticate, receive permissions, and transact independently, onchain.

Why It Matters

Without identity, it’s hard to trust an AI agent to do exactly what you want it to. Without that trust, they can’t transact. Kite Passport is the missing link that makes agent-driven commerce real, not just theoretically possible.

The proof is already there:

1.9 billion agent interactions processed on Kite’s Avalanche-based testnets
Live pilots with PayPal and Shopify
Sub-second finality on a sovereign L1 built for machine-speed economies

We’re moving from AI that assists to AI that acts. Kite is building the infrastructure for that shift, and it’s live now on Avalanche.
