Kite AI released cross-chain payment routing that allows agent wallets to send USDC across Base, Tempo and Solana without moving funds between chains first, according to the company's announcement.
The update introduces three core features. Agent wallets can now execute x402 payments that settle on a different chain from where their funds sit. Kite Passport, the company's bridge protocol, handles routing automatically across the three supported networks. The dashboard displays each routed payment's journey with chain logos, bridged amounts, and blockchain explorer links.
Direct-pay and cross-chain routing now settle transactions directly on Base rather than through a treasury relay path, the company said. Agent wallet USDC balances now display on Base, bridged at a 1:1 ratio.
The release addresses friction in multi-chain agent operations. Previously, moving assets across chains before payment required manual steps or intermediate relay systems. Kite Passport consolidates bridging and routing into a single flow, executing both automatically once an agent initiates a payment.
Route timelines in the dashboard log token logos for USDC and PYUSD alongside settlement confirmation links. The feature lets operators audit cross-chain transactions in real time without checking multiple blockchain explorers.
