a16z released the Agent economic panorama, with projects related to cryptocurrency such as Kite mainly focusing on payment and wallet infrastructure

a16z recently released a comprehensive overview of the Agent economy. a16z partners Olivia Moore and Justine Moore pointed out in the accompanying article that as AI Agents begin to select products, subscribe to services, and complete purchases for users, the infrastructure for payments, identity verification, and anti-fraud will face new demands.

The "Payments and Checkout" section of the map includes crypto-related projects such as Kite, Crossmint, Privy, Turnkey, and Catena Labs, covering stablecoin payments, wallets, and expense management. Among the aforementioned projects, Kite is currently the only one that has issued a tradable native token.
