SUPPORTED NETWORK · KITEATLAS ON KITE TESTNET TODAY
Atlas Staking runs a Kite testnet validator. Kite is a Layer 1 built so that software agents can hold an identity, pay each other, and settle in stablecoins without a human approving every transaction. We’re hoping for a place in the mainnet validator set and we’re waiting, so KITE delegation to Atlas isn’t open yet.
We’d rather tell you that plainly than sell you something we can’t deliver. What you can do now is read how Kite works and tell us you want it.

OUR KITE POSITION
Atlas is a Kite testnet validator. Our machines have been producing and validating blocks on Kite’s test network, which is where operators prove they can run the software before a mainnet set opens to them.
We’re hoping to be added to the Kite mainnet validator set. We don’t have a place in it, we don’t have a date, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. When it happens, this page changes and you’ll be able to delegate KITE to Atlas from your own wallet.

Independent operator since 2019, running hardware we own in Amsterdam.
WHAT WE RUN TODAY
No rank, no bonded stake, no commission figure, because there’s no Atlas mainnet validator to report on yet. Here’s what’s actually true right now.

AGENT PAYMENTS
Kite gives software agents an identity and a way to pay each other, settling in stablecoins
AMSTERDAM
Hardware we own and operate ourselves, not rented capacity
MAINNET SET
We’re waiting on a place, with no date and no guarantee of selection
YOUR KEYS
When delegation opens it stays noncustodial, with every transaction approved by you
A CHAIN BUILT FOR MACHINE PAYMENTS
Kite is an EVM compatible Layer 1 designed around a problem most chains weren’t built for. When software agents start buying things from each other, they need a verifiable identity, spending rules a human set in advance, and settlement that doesn’t wait on a card network. Read the network’s own material for current architecture and protocol rules.
WHAT STAKING WILL LOOK LIKE
This is how delegating to an Atlas validator works on the networks where we’re already live, and how it’d work on Kite if we’re added to the mainnet set.
Your tokens stay under your control
Atlas never takes custody of your wallet. You approve every delegation, reward, redelegation, and undelegation transaction.
On Kite you also pick a module
Kite’s design asks validators and delegators to back a specific module rather than the chain in general, so your choice is tied to how that part of the network performs.
Verify before you delegate
Check current public data on any validator, including its status, its fee, and how long unbonding takes, before you approve anything.
Rewards depend on network issuance, total bonded stake, validator performance, and validator fees. Rates change and are never guaranteed.
KEEP CONTROL OF YOUR KEYS
Before you connect a wallet or approve a staking transaction, review practical checks for domains, permissions, hardware wallet prompts, and recovery information.
QUESTIONS PEOPLE ACTUALLY ASK
Can I stake KITE with Atlas today?
No. Atlas runs a Kite testnet validator, not a mainnet one. We’re hoping for a place in the Kite mainnet validator set and we’re waiting. Until that happens there’s nothing to delegate to, and we won’t pretend there is.
What is Kite?
Kite is an EVM compatible Layer 1 blockchain built for payments between software agents. It gives an agent a verifiable identity, spending rules its owner set in advance, and a way to settle in stablecoins.
Why would an AI agent need its own blockchain?
Because card networks assume a human is on the other end. An agent buying data or compute on your behalf needs to prove who it is, stay inside a budget you set, and pay small amounts quickly. That’s the gap Kite is aimed at.
What does a testnet validator actually do?
It runs the same validator software against Kite’s test network, producing and validating blocks with no real value at stake. It’s where an operator proves the setup works before a mainnet set is open to them.
What are Kite modules?
Kite splits the network into modules, and validators and delegators stake toward a particular one rather than the chain as a whole. The idea is that rewards follow the parts of the network that are actually being used.
When will Atlas be on Kite mainnet?
We don’t know, and we’re not going to guess. Selection into a mainnet validator set isn’t ours to decide. Email us and we’ll tell you when it changes.
Who would control my KITE if I delegate later?
You would. Delegation doesn’t give Atlas your recovery phrase or ownership of your tokens. Your wallet authorizes every staking transaction, and that doesn’t change.
What else can I stake with Atlas?
Check our homepage for the other tokens you can stake with Atlas. If you don’t see the token you’re looking for, contact us to let us know. We’re constantly adding support for new blockchains and we welcome your feedback.
Not live on Kite yet We’ll tell you when we are
Atlas runs its validators on hardware we own in Amsterdam. When Kite mainnet delegation opens to us, you’ll delegate from your own wallet and keep your keys.
