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. 🪁
Join us for a super exciting "Conversational AI Mixer: Going Beyond Tokens," event with @AgoraIO, @Gaianet_AI and https://t.co/SVeTqjHia8 during Super AI.

Expect a night of real-time Convo AI innovation, voice agent demos, and high-impact networking!
It’s been exactly 2 weeks since we upgraded our Testnet to Testnet Ozone, and here are our metrics so far.
Huge thank you to all the Gkiters who’ve jumped in, tested, and shared feedback.
Your input is shaping what comes next - keep it coming! 🫡
Behind every OptimAI Node is a mission far greater than rewards:
🔸To build a decentralized Reinforcement Data Network
🔸To unlock Agentic AI for everyone—not just a privileged few
👉OptimAI Edge Node: https://t.co/9BsaUg35jh
Our architecture is now in motion:
🔸OptimAI DePIN to power decentralized infrastructure
🔸OptimAI DeHIN to amplify collective intelligence
🔸Reinforcement Data Layer to train agents smarter, fairer
🔸Compute Layer to enable real-time AI at the edge
🔸OptimAI Chain to govern everything, transparently and efficiently
OptimAI Agent Studio, Agent OS, Data Engine, Compute Engine: all part of what we’re building next.
This is a network built by people, for people.
And you’re not just early, you’re essential.
Let’s keep mining, contributing, earning rewards in return, and rewriting the future of Decentralized AI.
The future is Agentic. The fuel is your data. The power is decentralized.
One Node. One Data. One Agent at a Time.
#BUIDL with us!
Massive thanks to our community for supporting our Testnet Ozone upgrade, here are some common questions we've been getting.
Keep the feedback coming, we’re reading it all and will address everything!
Another big week for us at Kite AI:
☑️ Our Testnet Aero upgraded to Testnet Ozone––Ozone is built for the Agentic AI economy, it brings trust and robust blockchain infrastructure for Agentic AI collaborations.
☑️ Our team attended the @avax Summit in London, where our Co-founder and CTO @scottshics gave a keynote
☑️ Our VP and Head of Business Development and Strategy, was on a panel with @AethirCloud, @codatta_io, @LifeNetwork_AI and @BitteProtocol
☑️ Our Co-founder and CEO @ChiZhangData gave a keynote on "The Economic Layer for Agentic AI," at the @Vishwa_xyz co-research event during @solana accelerate
☑️ Our Co-founder and CEO @ChiZhangData also gave a talk at the "Talks.Pitches.Ship," event by @wallet and
@solana Accelerate Builders
☑️ Our CMO @Cindyshi0907 did a panel on "Blockchain for AI: Solving What Wasn't Possible," with Innobaker/ChainNeXT Labs, @0G_labs, @Conflux_Network and @pqalabs
☑️ Our Ecosystem Product Lead @Henryleemr joined a panel at the SVM Summit (hosted by @solayer_labs), along with @ZeusNetworkHQ, @avalonfinance_, @yalaorg and @CicadaFinance
3/ Agentic RAG is where RAG gets truly intelligent.
Here’s what’s coming:
🤖 Multi-Agent Systems
Agents for retrieval, synthesis, planning - working in sync
🔧 Dynamic Tool Use
Systems will choose the best data source + reasoning path per task
🧠 Contextual Memory
Integrated long- & short-term memory → more aware, less repetitive
🧭 Fully Autonomous Assistants
AI that researches, analyzes and acts on your behalf
RAG is becoming the backbone of real-time, context-aware AI and will not be just a smarter search, but agentic intelligence.
2/ Here are 7 key RAG architectures you should know:
a) Naive RAG
🔹 Query → retrieve → LLM answer
✅ Fast
❌ Low precision
b) RAG + Reranker
🔹 Adds a reranking model for better chunk relevance
✅ Balanced speed & accuracy
c) Multimodal RAG
🔹 Retrieves text, image, video
🎯 Great for media archives, medical imaging, etc.
d) Graph RAG
🔹 Connects concepts via a graph database
🧠 Ideal for complex knowledge like scientific papers or ontologies
e) Hybrid RAG
🔹 Mixes vector search + graph traversal
⚡ Flexible & context-rich
f) Agentic RAG (Router)
🔹 AI agent routes queries to the best retriever/index
g) Agentic RAG (Multi-Agent)
🔹 Multiple AI agents collaborate
→ Search, synthesize, reason as a team
✅ Wallet Verification Is Almost Ready
#NodegoAi team is putting the final touches on the system.
We're making sure everything is smooth, secure, and fair — no bugs, no risks.
🔐 Once it’s live, you'll be able to verify your wallet, unlock your Mystery Box rewards, and activate your referral bonuses.
💬 Thanks for your patience — we’re building this the right way.
Stay tuned. It’s coming very soon.
