What Kite is
Kite is a proof-of-stake Layer-1 blockchain, currently ranked 165th by market capitalization among the assets we track. Kite is a Layer-1 smart-contract platform secured by proof-of-stake: validators lock KITE as collateral, and the protocol slashes anyone who misbehaves. The token is simultaneously gas, collateral, and a claim on staking yield.
Kite (KITE) is a cryptocurrency designed to facilitate secure and efficient peer-to-peer transactions within its ecosystem. It aims to enhance user experience through innovative features and strong community engagement.
How consensus and the token economy connect
Staking ties the token's value to network security: more KITE bonded means a costlier attack, and stakers are paid for taking that role. Unstaking queues and slashing parameters shape how liquid that capital really is.
Background & fundamentals
In sector terms it is most often filed under Avalanche (AVAX) Token, Binance Coin (BNB) Token (BEP-20), and Ethereum (ETH) Token (ERC-20).
Where Kite sits in the market
At $0.1134, Kite carries a market capitalization of $204.09M. Around $20.27M changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 9.93% of the float — elevated, often a sign of narrative-driven trading.
Almost the entire KITE supply is already in circulation (~100.0% of the 10B cap), so future dilution is effectively off the table. The token is roughly -65% under its record of $0.3202 — a meaningful but not catastrophic drawdown. Measured from its all-time low of $0.0807, KITE is up +41%.
What the price history shows
Recent moves read 24-hour -3.66%, 7-day -27.46%, 30-day +43.21%. Within its 209-day range, KITE sits around the middle (the 56th percentile of recent daily closes).
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Kite in the High-volatility band — it has been actively trading, with daily moves that would be unusual in traditional equities. Over the last 30 days the move totals +43.21%, a useful input for stop placement and position sizing.
How to evaluate Kite
The honest checklist for KITE is short:
- Real usage — active addresses, fees paid, and total value locked — does on-chain demand justify the valuation?
- Staking economics — the share of KITE staked, the yield, and unlock/queue dynamics that govern liquid supply.
- Ecosystem depth — how many applications and how much liquidity have chosen Kite over competing Layer-1s.
