On February 6, 2025, Kite AI launched the AI consensus mechanism PoAI (Proof of AI), which is the first AI-native Layer 1 sovereign blockchain testnet. This innovative project aims to achieve transparent rights and incentives for AI data, models, and agent contributions through blockchain technology, fundamentally addressing the fairness issues of traditional on-chain AI asset contributions and incentives. As a highly anticipated blockchain project, Kite AI has introduced four groundbreaking innovations aimed at solving core pain points in the AI industry, such as data abuse, model theft, and computing power monopolization, injecting new momentum into the $10 trillion AI economy.

In less than 70 hours since its launch, Kite AI testnet v1 surpassed 100,000 wallet connections, a milestone that demonstrates the strong demand from global developers and users for an AI-native public chain. As a Layer 1 blockchain focused on building AI economic infrastructure, Kite AI is attracting increasing attention and participation. This data not only confirms market recognition of our technical solutions but also validates the immense potential of the deep integration of AI and blockchain.

Four Core Innovations:

1. The World's First PoAI Consensus Mechanism (Proof of Attributed Intelligence)

Kite AI precisely tracks the contribution values of data, models, and AI agents through an on-chain verifiable contribution record system. The project has designed a dynamic reward pool mechanism that allocates profits based on contribution ratios, effectively addressing issues such as "data black box" and "model theft" in the traditional AI economy. In the early stages of the testnet launch, nearly a hundred AI companies have already connected, covering vertical fields such as healthcare, finance, and education.

2. Composable AI Subnets (Composable AI Ecosystem with Customizable Subnets)

The project adopts a modular architecture that allows developers to build industry-specific AI collaboration ecosystems as needed. For example, in the healthcare subnet, patient data can be encrypted and selectively authorized to pharmaceutical companies for AI model development, with profits distributed to data subjects, model developers, and subnet maintainers in a certain proportion. This flexible architectural design supports customizable governance rules and profit distribution mechanisms, effectively promoting cross-domain resource sharing.

3. AI-Native Execution Layer

Kite AI is building an on-chain AI-native execution layer to handle AI computing tasks such as inference, embedding, and fine-tuning/training. Users can authorize smart contract wallets to execute inference calls and interact with models through this layer. The layer supports blockchain transactions and state changes while integrating confidential computing environments (such as TEE) to ensure data security and privacy protection during the computing process.

4. Decentralized Data Access Engine

Through data NFTization and fragmented usage rights trading mechanisms, the project ensures that data creators receive fair compensation in the AI workflow. The platform incorporates GDPR/CCPA compliance modules to meet global data privacy requirements. It provides secure and transparent data access, with built-in ownership and fair reward mechanisms, allowing data creators to retain ownership of their data while participating in AI model and agent workflows. With the global data economy expected to exceed $70 billion by 2025, this project is poised to become a core infrastructure for data rights confirmation and monetization.

Strong Team Background and Ecosystem Support:

Kite AI is built by an experienced Silicon Valley team, with co-founders possessing deep technical leadership experience in the field of artificial intelligence, having worked at top tech companies such as Uber, Salesforce, and Databricks, and holding advanced degrees including a PhD in AI from the University of California, Berkeley. Core team members come from industry-leading companies such as Google, BlackRock, Uber, and the NEAR Foundation, with academic backgrounds from top institutions like MIT and Harvard.

The project has received investments from top institutions such as General Catalyst, Hashed, Hashkey, and Samsung Next, and has established technical collaborations with Eigenlayer, Sui, Avalanche, and AWS.

Developer Opportunities:

The testnet is now open, offering generous incentives for early developers. Developers can immediately participate in deploying AI-driven DApps and explore innovative scenarios such as on-chain model training and data markets. We have prepared a token airdrop plan for the teams that deploy AI subnets earliest, along with a security bounty of up to $100,000. Early contributors will also receive point rewards and priority access to ecosystem resources.

The project founder stated, "The launch of the testnet is just the beginning of this transformation. We are building a brand new AI economic infrastructure that allows every contributor to share in the dividends of AI development."
