Kite AI Soars Past 546 Million Agent Calls and 4 Million Users on Testnet Phase 1
Kite AI, a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain designed for AI, has shared impressive metrics highlighting the success of its recently launched Testnet v1, Aero. Since its public debut in February, the network has processed over 546 million agent calls, averaging 11.4 million calls daily.
Additionally, the Testnet saw 32 million transactions executed and onboarded approximately 4 million users, including 2.4 million unique AI users. Testnet v1 was established as a live development environment to rigorously evaluate Kite AI’s Layer 1 blockchain, tailored for autonomous agents, model developers, and data providers. Early adopters actively participated in the system, testing its performance, identifying areas for improvement, and contributing to its refinement.
“Testnet v1 has provided valuable insight into real-world usage patterns, architectural stress points, and developers’ needs when building on-chain AI systems,” said Chi Zhang, Co-founder and CEO of Kite AI. “The upcoming release of Testnet v2 will reflect those learnings as we continue to iterate and scale the platform.”
The Kite AI team leveraged community feedback from the Testnet phase to address critical issues, enhance system performance, and make architectural improvements. As a result, the network is now more stable, scalable, and feature-complete in preparation for upcoming phases.
Proof of Attributed Intelligence: A New Consensus Mechanism
Kite AI is built around an innovative consensus mechanism known as Proof of Attributed Intelligence (Proof of AI), which ensures fair attribution and transparent rewards for contributors across agents, models, and data. This architecture establishes a universal framework with purpose-built identity and attribution systems, empowering contributors—from enterprises to individuals—to collaboratively build, own, and monetize AI, promoting a transparent and interoperable ecosystem.
Leveraging Avalanche’s Infrastructure
As an Avalanche Sovereign L1 chain, Kite AI benefits from AI-specific consensus and infrastructure tailored to Avalanche while providing an optimized environment for AI, data analytics, and decentralized applications.
The Testnet has attracted a rapidly growing community of developers building a diverse range of AI-native applications, including decentralized co-pilots, data markets, and autonomous financial agents. Testnet v1 continues to serve as a testing ground for programmable AI infrastructure, with work now underway on Testnet v2, which will introduce additional capabilities and performance enhancements.
