Kite RPC Endpoint

Flat-rate Kite RPC provider and Kite RPC node access: free tier, no KYC, HTTP & WebSocket. Kite mainnet chain ID 2366.

Kite is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 for payments made by AI agents, built as a dedicated Avalanche L1. KITE is the native token, used for staking by validators, module owners and delegators, while agent payments settle in stablecoins.

About Kite

Kite launched mainnet on Avalanche in April 2026 after testnet phases that processed more than 1.9 billion agent interactions. The launch centered on Kite Agent Passport, which gives agents verifiable identity, scoped permissions and programmable spending limits under user-set rules. The project raised $33 million in a round led by PayPal Ventures and General Catalyst.

Kite is EVM-compatible, so standard Ethereum tooling and JSON-RPC calls work against chain ID 2366. The chain is designed for high volumes of small, programmatic transactions, with dedicated agent transaction lanes and gas abstraction. Typical workloads are agents paying for API calls, data queries or services per request.

Common Use Cases on Kite

• AI agent payments in stablecoins
• Pay-per-call APIs and data marketplaces
• Agent identity and delegated spending limits
• Micropayments for oracle and service calls
