Kite hardened the fund-safety perimeter, advanced the conversation on agent identity and adoption, and brought the community together from Berkeley to Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur. Here's what we delivered last week:
1️⃣ We shipped three updates on one principle, that funds should be hard to lose on Kite: Wallet Receive now states which assets each network accepts, Kite Agent Passport Skills carry the same deposit guidance you read, and an internal tool moved off the public internet to shrink our attack surface.
2️⃣ That last change briefly cost connectivity between nodes, and Kite Mainnet paused block production for about 28 minutes rather than build on state it could not fully verify. Regional RPC endpoints were fully restored by 11:21 PT.
3️⃣
@MarathonBuild, incubated by Kite, brought Kimi K3 online as its long-context flagship across all four completion windows, and moved to keep its signup credit with the developers actually running jobs, adding a one-click reclaim in the dashboard.
4️⃣ We published clips from both Hubble podcast conversations with
@Vishwa_lab: our Co-Founder & CEO
@ChiZhangData on why adoption is decided in the middle of an agentic workflow rather than at the identity or payment end, and our Co-Founder & CTO
@scottshics on the four IDs an agent needs pinned before it can transact, user ID, model ID, agent harness ID, and runtime ID.
5️⃣ We published the latest AI Agents Pulse, a biweekly recap running from record-breaking open-source releases to escalating policy scrutiny as agentic AI matures into a production reality.
6️⃣ We sponsored the RDI Agentic AI Summit at
@UCBerkeley and spent the days on site talking with builders, then hosted Agentic AI Summit After Hours with
@HaasBlockchain, Haas Fintech Club, and Agents' Last Exam once Day 1 wrapped.
7️⃣ Our Head of Blockchain Product & Infrastructure
@Henryleemr joined AI-VOLUTION The Series 2026 by
@SCB10X_OFFICIAL to discuss trusted payments for agents.
8️⃣ At Malaysia Blockchain Week,
@Henryleemr moderated a panel on how data becomes a strategic asset in the AI era with
@AsianCryptoBoy,
@Aileentech, and
@Roy0x1.
The trust layer for the agentic internet is being assembled piece by piece. 🪁
