Henry Lee

Kite is proud to join the @linuxfoundation’s Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), working alongside @OpenAI, @AnthropicAI, @blocks, and members including @Google, @Microsoft, @awscloud, @Cloudflare, and @business to advance open standards and interoperable infrastructure for the agentic AI era. With AAIF’s community stewardship of foundational projects such as MCP, AGENTS.md, and goose, Kite will contribute our perspective on verifiable identity, programmable governance, and stablecoin native settlement so autonomous agents can execute end to end with clearer policy boundaries, stronger accountability, and auditable outcomes at production scale.

Kite is advancing the infrastructure for autonomous commerce by reinforcing trust, engaging with global ecosystems, and exploring the future of AI-driven economies. Here’s what we delivered this week: 1️⃣ We achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance for the second consecutive year, reaffirming our commitment to security, availability, and confidentiality as foundational pillars for the agent economy. This third-party audit validates the controls we’ve built into the Kite platform, ensuring trust at every step. 2️⃣ Our Head of Ecosystem @Henryleemr joined @SEABWofficial’s roundtable, hosted by @hashed_official, to discuss the importance of robust agentic payment infrastructure in enabling seamless and secure machine-to-machine transactions. The event highlighted the transformative potential of this new economic movement. 3️⃣ We hosted Episode 16 of AI on AIR, where our founders @ChiZhangData and @scottshics explored how AI is reshaping work, organizations, and trust with @tobystuart, a leading voice in AI’s impact on corporate strategy and organizational design. 4️⃣ Our VP & Head of BD @lei_lei0904 participated in @HouseofChimera’s AI Beyond the Hype panel, discussing the readiness of AI agents for real-world use and the critical role of trust in payments and privacy. 5️⃣ Our APAC Lead @0xLaughing joined @499_DAO’s Detalks to explore AI-driven cross-border payments and the paradigm shift from human finance to agent finance, emphasizing the role of intelligent infrastructure in reshaping global financial systems. The agent economy is being built on trust, innovation, and global collaboration. 🪁

What does it take to keep humans firmly in the loop when AI agents start paying for things? 🪁 At @consensus2026, our VP & Global Head of BD @lei_lei0904 joined @programmer (@CoinbaseDev), @rohinlohe (@Cloudflare), and @0xbury (@virtuals_io) on @CoinDesk's "Trillion Dollar Question: Framework for Agentic Payments" panel to break down what @GoKiteAI has already shipped: ▷ Kite Agent Passport: a session where users pre-set spending caps and time windows before the agent transacts. Full traceability from human intent to on-chain payment. ▷ Kill switch: every Passport ships with one-click human override. If the agent veers off, you cut it. ▷ Agent-native rails: traditional 3% checkout fees were never built for "buy me a snack" or "research SF apartments" microtransactions. Stablecoins are the answer.

Onboarding a new hire, delegated end-to-end. You set the budget. You write the brief. Your agent researches the kit, orders it on Amazon, and welcomes the hire by email. One approval. No credentials shared. This is what agentic operations look like. Try Kite Passport: agentpassport.ai/quickstart/ 🪁
