Kite and Brevis have announced a strategic partnership to develop a verifiable AI computing and payment network. Kite, a Layer-1 blockchain, focuses on AI agent payments with identity management and stablecoin micro-payments, while Brevis uses zero-knowledge proofs for off-chain computation across multi-chain ecosystems. The collaboration will introduce zk-based SLA proofs and agent zk passports, aiming for a micro-transaction network with costs under one cent and scalability to billions of transactions. This initiative seeks to address trust issues in AI by creating a transparent 'verifiable computation - cryptographic authorization - micro-payment settlement' loop.
