From that date, the 3.2 billion KITE in these allocations begin vesting on the published schedule, and the unlock runs for four years. A cliff is the waiting period before any tokens are released, and vesting spreads the release over time instead of issuing everything at once.<\/p>\n<p>The November 3 cliff covers the team, advisor and investor allocations only. Other allocations follow separate schedules in the whitepaper and are not part of this release.<\/p>\n<h2>How Much KITE Unlocks First<\/h2>\n<p>Public trackers disagree on the size of the first release, with estimates ranging from about 300 million to 640 million KITE. The official schedule has not published a single first-tranche figure, so the exact amount should be checked against Kite&#039;s own announcements. KITE traded near $0.114 on November 3, 2026, according to Coinranking.<\/p>\n<h2>What Kite Is Building<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinranking.com\/coin\/VidNxjC886iV+kite-kite\">Kite (KITE)<\/a> is an AI-payments Layer 1 blockchain built for autonomous AI agents.
