Thanks to Galaxy Research for the research article, which included @KITE AI 中文 in the panoramic view of The x402 Agentic Payment Stack.

We see this as a clear signal of industry consensus: the AI agent economy is moving from being able to answer to being able to execute, and the scalability of execution no longer depends on how smart the model is, but on whether it has the infrastructure that is payable, authorized, and auditable.

Kite focuses on making AI agents reliable economic participants, breaking it down into four core points:

1️⃣ First, clarify the responsible entity

Who pays, represents whom in action, and how responsibility is defined.

2️⃣ Next, define executable boundaries

Why to pay, the maximum amount to pay, what can and cannot be done, clearly outline the budget, permissions, and constraints.

3️⃣ Embed authorization and settlement into the workflow

Integrate the KYA capabilities represented by identity, authorization, and constraints with the usage-based billing path represented by x402, forming composable underlying primitives.

4️⃣ Ensure every call is verifiable and auditable

Each payment corresponds to a clearly authorized call, allowing for verification of the execution process, and leaving an auditable settlement record.

Ultimately, blockchain and stablecoins are more like invisible infrastructure supporting the internet driven by agents, rather than crypto products perceived by users in a tangible way.
