a16z releases comprehensive map of the Agent economy, with crypto-related projects like Kite mostly concentrated in payment and wallet infrastructure.

BlockBeats news, November 13 - a16z recently released the Agent Economy Landscape. In an accompanying article, a16z partners Olivia Moore and Justine Moore pointed out that as AI Agents begin to select products, subscription services, and complete purchases on behalf of users, payment, identity verification, and anti-fraud infrastructure will face new demands.

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