1/ We’re thrilled to announce our $18M Series A fundraise led by @PayPal Ventures and @generalcatalyst, bringing total cumulative funding to $33 million.

This funding fuels our mission to build the foundational infrastructure for the agentic internet – providing unified identity, governance and native access to stablecoin payments that enable agents to authenticate, transact, and coordinate securely without intermediaries.

We are incredibly grateful to our investors who support our mission: @PayPal Ventures, @generalcatalyst, @8VC, @SamsungNext, SBI US Gateway Fund, @vertexventures, @hashed_official, @HashKey_Capital, @DispersionVC, @AlumniVentures, @AvalancheFDN, @GSR_io, @LayerZero_Core, @animocabrands, @EssenceVenture, and @Alchemy.

A special thank you to our phenomenal angel investors: @EvanWeb3 (Co-founder and CEO, MystenLabs), Hao Min (VP, Circle), @edwinaoki (SVP, Nasdaq; ex- PayPal CTO of blockchain), Frank Chang (VP, Uber), @navinblockchain (CEO, Crystal Intelligence; ex-Ripple Managing Director), @BohanZhangOT (Member of Technical Staff, OpenAI), John Liu (Head of Product, AWS), @RosuGrigore (Professor, UIUC), Haiyan Huang (Professor, UC Berkeley), Sriram Vishwanath (Professor, Georgia Tech) and more.

Join us in building the future of the agentic internet.

We're back with our latest edition of "Proof of AI Journals," by Proof of AI Lab.

In this Journal, our researcher Kevin Ros dives into how 2025 is the year of agentic AI, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) is quickly becoming the standard for connecting agents to tools like Slack, Uber, and Notion.

But there's a huge problem: authentication.

Each agent needs to authenticate with each tool individually.

If you're running 10 agents across 20 tools, that's 200 separate OAuth flows.

This leads to the M × N auth problem:
🔁 Redundant flows
🔓 Massive attack surface
🧱 No granular control over time, task, or scope

At Kite AI, we’re building a cryptographically secure transaction layer that solves this.

Agentic systems won’t scale until auth is reimagined, and we’re building that future. 🪁
