Kite statuswatched compatibility lane

Passport can be tracked as a buyer-side path, not an accepted ARD rail.

Paid proofNot run

Requires a separate small approved proof window.

PrivacyAggregate only

No buyer prompts, wallet history, raw feedback, or paid response bodies are public.

How to use it now

Buyer agents keep control.

  • Use Kite Agent Passport on the buyer side if your agent already has a Passport-controlled wallet and budget.
  • Inspect /docs.json, choose an ARD route, and send the normal unpaid probe first.
  • Pay the listed ARD route price only through your own x402 client and approved budget.
  • Treat ARD's current settlement proof as Base mainnet proof until a separate Kite proof run exists.

Guardrails

No production claim without proof.

  • Do not change the working Base mainnet x402 middleware, facilitator, seller wallet, endpoint paths, or route prices.
  • Do not run paid Kite purchases from this readiness pack.
  • Do not create Passport sessions or delegate spending from this service.
  • Do not claim Kite settlement is accepted until unpaid 402, paid 200, settlement, discovery, and rollback checks pass.
  • Do not expose buyer prompts, wallet-level request history, raw feedback comments, watched subjects, or paid response contents.

Proof gate before acceptance

Kite needs its own verification window.

not-run Unpaid challenge

A Kite-targeted deployment returns the expected HTTP 402 without breaking Base.

requires-separate-approval Paid 200

One small approved paid test returns HTTP 200 with structured JSON.

not-run Settlement proof

The seller wallet receives the expected settlement on the intended Kite-compatible path.

not-run Discovery proof

Discovery surfaces show the intended network and route metadata after proof.

ready Rollback clean

Base remains the default active rail after the proof window is removed.
