Kite AI, a Layer 1 blockchain specifically designed for AI, has announced significant milestones achieved during the Testnet phase 1 of its Aero network. Since its launch in February, the network has processed over 546 million agent calls, averaging 11.4 million calls daily. This phase also saw 32 million transactions executed and the onboarding of approximately 4 million users, including 2.4 million unique AI users.

The Testnet v1 was introduced as a live development environment to evaluate Kite AI’s Layer 1 blockchain, tailored for autonomous agents, model developers, and data providers. Early adopters engaged with the system to test its performance, identify areas for improvement, and contribute to its refinement. The feedback gathered from the community enabled the Kite AI team to resolve key issues, enhance system performance, and make architectural improvements, resulting in a more stable, scalable, and feature-complete platform.

Chi Zhang, Co-founder and CEO of Kite AI, highlighted the value of the Testnet v1 phase, stating that it provided valuable insights into real-world usage patterns, architectural stress points, and developers’ needs when building on-chain AI systems. The upcoming release of Testnet v2 will reflect these learnings as the platform continues to iterate and scale.

Kite AI is built around a novel consensus mechanism called Proof of Attributed Intelligence (Proof of AI), which ensures fair attribution and transparent rewards for contributors across agents, models, and data. This innovative architecture establishes a universal framework with purpose-built identity and attribution mechanisms, empowering contributors—from enterprises to individuals—to collaboratively build, own, and monetize AI, fostering a transparent and interoperable ecosystem.

As an Avalanche Sovereign L1 chain, Kite AI will harness the AI-specific consensus and infrastructure for Avalanche, while providing a tailor-made environment for AI, data analytics, and decentralized applications. The Testnet has attracted a growing community of developers building a wide range of AI-native applications, from decentralized co-pilots and data markets to autonomous financial agents. The Testnet continues to serve as a proving ground for programmable AI infrastructure, and work is now underway on Testnet v2, which will introduce additional capabilities and performance enhancements.

Kite AI is a purpose-built, EVM-compatible L1 designed to power the AI economy. Its innovative consensus mechanism, Proof of Attributed Intelligence (Proof of AI), ensures fair attribution and transparent rewards for contributors across agents, models, and data. Kite AI has raised funding from top-tier investors, including General Catalyst, Hashed, Hashkey, Samsung Next, and many more to be announced shortly. Its battle-tested end-to-end infrastructure has been built over the last two years and is trusted by partners like Avalanche, Eigenlayer, Story Protocol, Sui, zksync, Polygon, AWS,

, Chainink, and Crypto.com, among others.
