Agent-Native Infrastructure: From Intelligence to ExecutionAI is no longer just answering questions — it's executing economic actions.The Kite AI Global Buildathon 2026 is a month-long sprint for developers building at that frontier. Autonomous agents that transact, settle, and operate on-chain. Real identity, real payments, real programmable constraints. Not demos — production-ready systems.What You'll BuildThree tracks, one chain:Agentic Commerce — Agents that discover, pay, and manage — USDC via x402, subscription billing, API interactions with programmable constraints, all settled on Kite AI.Agentic Trading — Agents that analyse markets, execute trades, manage risk, and allocate capital. Yield optimisation, liquidation defence, cross-chain arbitrage — stablecoin-first.Novel Track — Anything that runs on Kite and does something nobody's seen before.Who Should JoinAI engineers, Web3 developers, DeFi builders, LLM/agent framework developers, and teams building payments or identity infrastructure. Starter kits, workshops, and documentation will be provided — but come ready to ship.
