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
1/ Big news, our Testnet has been UPGRADED: Testnet Aero has been upgraded to Testnet Ozone!
Testnet Aero was just the beginning - millions of you joined, interacted with our Agents and asked for more. More intelligence. More utility. Less friction.
So we built it.
Ozone is built for the Agentic AI economy - it brings trust and robust blockchain infrastructure for Agentic AI collaborations.
Here’s what’s new. 👇
When BlackRock tokenizes and BounceBit mobilizes –
a new chapter in capital markets begins.
The 'black rocks' NFT marks that movement.
I'll be minting soon with $BB. Limited to 1,000.

Yesterday, we brought BlackRock’s first tokenized fund into a new context, connecting traditional capital to modern market infra.
To mark the moment, we present black rocks:
a limited BB Prime NFT collection. Free mint. 1,000 only.
Details below.
Web3 was never meant to be fragmented.
That's why Avail is so much more than a DA layer. Avail is the horizontally scalable stack that holds it all together.
Data, consensus, and coordination, all natively connected.
Just build once, scale everywhere.
Ethereum’s scaling path has always been iterative and with the Pectra upgrade, blob capacity has increased from 3 to 6 per block.
Just a week later, average usage is already approaching 4 blobs per block. One-third of that new capacity is already in use. Just as L2s Keep growing, it is clear that more capacity will be needed to sustain Ethereum’s momentum.
To truly scale, Ethereum needs to embrace the next phase of scaling. Validiums and optimiums offer that next step, but only when paired with trust-minimized, verifiable data availability.
That is where Avail comes in. Avail offers Ethereum-grade guarantees, ensuring transaction data remains transparent and accessible. But it also brings what Ethereum does not yet support: Data Availability Sampling and light clients. These allow users to independently verify data from their own devices without relying on full nodes or RPCs.
@Sophon has already implemented with this model. In just five months, it has processed over 65 million transactions, onboarded more than 100,000 users, and posted over 11GB of data to Avail. It also became the first validium to verify data availability on Ethereum itself.
Avail is purpose-built for data availability and scales without compromise. Block sizes have doubled from 2MB to 4MB, tested up to 16MB, with a long-term roadmap aiming for 10GB. Validiums and optimiums powered by Avail are not a speculative alternative. They are a live, working solution that gives Ethereum room to grow today while staying aligned with Danksharding roadmap. The shift is already underway.
Rooch is now turbocharged ⚡️
By upgrading with Avail’s TurboDA, @RoochNetwork, the first MoveVM-based Bitcoin L2, unlocks 100,000+ TPS and sub-second pre-confirmations.
Bringing high-performance execution to Bitcoin’s ecosystem, with cost-efficient DA.
.@Radius_xyz just kicked off its Early Community Program, live on the Avail DA testnet — and we’re teaming up with them build the Alpha Engine for next-gen rollups.
To start things off, they dropped something fun. It goes like this:

Yes, that game.
A chaotic, onchain battle for floors — all while learning about MEV. And we’ve got exclusive codes to get you in.
