According to @cas_abbe, the primary blocker for AI agents is not model intelligence but the lack of transactional infrastructure, and Kite by GoKiteAI addresses this by providing agent identity, configurable spend limits, fast stablecoin payments, and enforced rules that agents cannot break, enabling safer real on-chain transactions for enterprises (source: @cas_abbe). The post also states that companies currently avoid allowing agents to handle real transactions due to risk and that such infrastructure is required for agents to run real operations onchain, explicitly referencing the $KITE ticker as part of the solution narrative (source: @cas_abbe).

According to @scottshics, GoKiteAI opened $KITE airdrop claims at 12 PM UTC on Nov 3 ahead of the spot listing, providing a clear timeline for market participants; source: @scottshics on X (Nov 6, 2025). The airdrop has no lock period, cliff, or vesting, meaning claimed tokens are immediately transferable and can enter circulation without delay; source: @scottshics on X (Nov 6, 2025). The project allocated 5% of the supply to the airdrop across 220,000 eligible addresses, defining the potential distribution breadth; source: @scottshics on X (Nov 6, 2025). As of Nov 6, about 81,000 addresses have claimed and roughly 81,000,000 KITE have been claimed, all verifiable on-chain at https://etherscan.io/address/0xdf9aceddd8a8c130dfe3015c0b1b507cf6571fc9; sources: @scottshics on X (Nov 6, 2025) and Etherscan contract 0xdf9aceddd8a8c130dfe3015c0b1b507cf6571fc9. This implies a participation rate near 36.8% (81k of 220k) and an average of ~1,000 KITE per claiming address, useful for estimating immediate tradable float; source: calculation based on @scottshics data on X (Nov 6, 2025). Traders can monitor incremental supply and potential exchange inflows by tracking further claims and transfers on Ethereum via the same Etherscan contract; source: Etherscan contract 0xdf9aceddd8a8c130dfe3015c0b1b507cf6571fc9. Because claims began before listing and tokens are unlocked, new supply can reach markets as soon as deposits are enabled, directly impacting $KITE liquidity; source: @scottshics on X (Nov 6, 2025).
