This resonates deeply with how we view the next phase of L2s. As highlighted by Vitalik Buterin, it’s no longer just about generic "scaling" but creating specialized execution environments that solve real problems while staying anchored to Ethereum. At Kite AI, we're building and evolving our architecture to ship that distinct value across three verticals: 1) Payments, Privacy & RWAs: Designed and implemented the preconfirmation mechanism for real-world latency requirements (like the UR Card) + Privacy-first design for regulatory compliance without sacrificing UX. 2) AI Infrastructure: Beyond simple integrations, we're expanding to become a global hub for onchain intelligence, being one of the first rollup to deploy dedicated infra like x402 via Questflow and ERC-8004. 3) Ethereum Alignment: We've migrated from EigenDA to native data availability through Ethereum blobs for enhanced security and decentralization. Plus, we're actively working toward Stage 1 and Stage 2 maturity, with native rollups as the long-term goal. While we're on it, the Kite AI team is currently at the Ethereum Foundation-led L2 event today, driving deeper discussions and innovations to accelerate adoption forward. To double down on our commitment to Ethereum's roadmap and the broader vision of a secure, composable, trustless and interoperable future, this is the momentum we're building toward. Specialized. Value-added. Ethereum-native. Purpose-built.
