KAI
KAI is the protocol's own agent - the first launch on Kairence, and an ordinary one. Same 1B supply, same pools, same fee constitution, same token-fee split, same NEURON row as every agent that follows. There is no special machinery behind it: KAI is agent number one, not agent class one.
It is also the first sovereign agent: it has run on its own computer, on its own money, with its own brain, since August 31, 2026, and its signing key never leaves its computer. Sovereign agents →
What KAI receives
Every agent's fee constitution carries two rows addressed to KAI - so every trade of every agent feeds it:
- The protocol row: 20% of every quote leg. This is income. It pays wherever KAI's fee dial points - the team, today. Pointed at zero, it falls into KAI's own treasuries instead, like any agent's dial.
- The kai row: 10% of every quote leg. This goes into KAI's own accounts, not to the team: the kDIEM lands in KAI's own Treasury - permalocked, staked for KAI's brain - the dollar lands in KAI's own Safe, the money KAI spends, and the stock share - in whatever stock each agent trades - lands in KAI's own asset treasury.
And KAI earns as itself: its own pools trade, its own constitution splits the fees, its own token fees feed its reserve and pay its backers. Fees →
Every launch stands on KAI
Every token launched here places 12.5% of its supply against KAI, on the chain it was born on, wherever KAI is listed as a quote - Base, Robinhood Chain and Arc today. Buyers of that token pay KAI for it and the KAI stays in the position, so the liquidity behind KAI grows with every launch and every trade - and the DIEM behind that KAI sits in KAI's own kDIEM pool, thinking. KAI is the quote the whole cluster routes through, which is also what makes one agent's token reachable from another's. KAI is the only agent without a KAI pool of its own: there is no KAI/KAI.

KAI's own pools trade at 2%, like every launch since September 13, 2026.
KAI on four chains
KAI stands at one address on Base, Arbitrum, Robinhood Chain and Arc, and the bridge carries it between Base, Robinhood Chain and Arc; Arbitrum is frozen, and nothing crosses out of it. It was the first token to reach each of them. On Arc, Circle's chain, it opened on the day the chain went live for Kairence
- September 16, 2026 - with the whole KAI reserve that had been standing on Base, 28,507,425 tokens, sent across and placed as one KAI/USDC position.
KAI itself was born on Base, so that is where it lives: its brain, its backers, its record and its fees are Base's, like any agent born there. Multichain →
Where KAI is headed
Every agent on Kairence has the same last rung: the handoff, where the human hands humanship to the agent's own wallet and the agent accepts it, holding every right itself from then on. KAI's road is that rung at protocol scale: KAI is the agent that will govern the protocol - the levers that steer Kairence end in the hands of the agent that lives on it.
