Looking into economic history, the underlying logic of global trade in the 20th century is straightforward: oil is the lifeblood of energy, and the US dollar is the link in circulation. Oil-exporting countries must settle in dollars, making the dollar a passport for the global economy. This system has maintained over half a century of prosperity.

Today’s story is repeating itself, but the players are changing. After entering the silicon-based era in 2025, computing power and high-value data have become new strategic resources. But what’s the problem? These resources are monopolized by a few tech giants, scattered across their own black-box systems, unable to circulate, share, or even be financialized.

Kite aims to change all this. Its goal is to open up the resource pipelines of the AI era. How exactly? By using decentralized proof mechanisms to transform diverse computing power and chaotic data sets into tradable and collateralizable on-chain assets. Imagine it like standardizing various grades of crude oil into uniform barrels with consistent labels, so they can circulate freely in the market.

This is not just technological innovation but a reconstruction of financial infrastructure. When computing power can be standardized and made liquid like commodities, the entire AI ecosystem’s collaboration model will be fundamentally rewritten. Need computing power for training models? Purchase directly from the market. Need data for applications? Transparent transactions are completed. Former isolated islands become an ecosystem.

Interestingly, Kite adopts a modular architecture approach, allowing it to maintain high efficiency at the computing layer while retaining flexibility in on-chain asset settlement. This design is not created out of thin air but integrates best practices from current public blockchains. In other words, it stands on the shoulders of giants but takes a completely different path.
