Have you ever thought about what the biggest pain point of Web3 is right now?

It's not that the technology isn't advanced enough, but rather that fragmentation is too severe. Ethereum has its own ecosystem, Solana has its speed, and Arbitrum and Optimism each hold their own ground. What is the result? Users' funds are literally chopped into several pieces. Want to move funds between different chains? Either use a bridge (slow, expensive, and risky), or switch back and forth between multiple wallets (incredibly troublesome).

Kite is here to solve this problem. It is not a traditional cross-chain bridge—those things merely transfer assets from chain A to chain B. Kite operates on a different logic. It employs a technology called "asynchronous intent settlement engine" that allows you to manage liquidity across all chains from a single interface. How does it manage this? You only need to express your "intent"—for example, "I want a 5% stablecoin yield, and the risk hedging cost should not exceed 1%"—the rest is left to the system to automatically match and execute.

Since 2025, the rules of the Web3 game have changed. The era of fundraising through storytelling is over; the core of competition now lies in whose infrastructure is more solid. VC's frenzied pursuit of Kite is because it genuinely solves the industry's pain points. You can think of Ethereum as a bustling business center, Solana as a high-speed racetrack, and Kite as the hub that connects these independent islands.

Interestingly, it is not the large institutions that entered the market first that are solving this problem, but rather the developers who are focused on building infrastructure. Just like me—rather than participating in that fiercely competitive financing battle, it is better to become a builder of the ecosystem, which actually allows one to take the leading position earlier.
