## Network Information

| Parameter | Value |

| Chain ID | 2368 |
| RPC Testnet | https://rpc-testnet.gokite.ai/ |
| Explorer | https://testnet-scan.gokite.ai |
| Native Token | KITE |

## Core Feature: Agent Identity Payment Framework

Kite AI's core innovation is an **AI Agent-specific identity and payment layer**:
- Agents can have independent on-chain identities (not tied to user addresses)
- Agents can directly make micropayments to each other (without human intervention)
- Supports EVM-compatible contracts + Agent-specific API

## Quick Start

```bash
# Add Kite Testnet to MetaMask
Network Name: Kite Testnet
RPC: https://rpc-testnet.gokite.ai/
Chain ID: 2368
Currency: KITE
Explorer: https://testnet-scan.gokite.ai
```

```javascript
// Connect to Kite Testnet with viem
import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem'

const kiteTestnet = {
  id: 2368,
  name: 'Kite Testnet',
  nativeCurrency: { name: 'KITE', symbol: 'KITE', decimals: 18 },
  rpcUrls: { default: { http: ['https://rpc-testnet.gokite.ai/'] } },
}

const client = createPublicClient({ chain: kiteTestnet, transport: http() })
```

## Agent Identity API

```typescript
// Register Agent identity
POST https://rpc-testnet.gokite.ai/agent/register
{
  "agent_name": "my-agent",
  "capabilities": ["trading", "data-analysis"],
  "payment_address": "0x..."
}
```
