KITE's operational approach in December is quite interesting. People who follow them will notice a phenomenon: this month, they held intensive offline events across various locations, but their approach is completely different from most projects.
Usually, crypto projects hold events to generate hype and pump prices, just going through the motions. But KITE is doing serious work—building a developer community. The Dev Party in Chiang Mai on December 16th is a typical example. The event was co-hosted with OpenBuild, 4seasDeSoc, and ETHChiangMai, and the venue was carefully chosen. Chiang Mai has a special appeal for developers: every December, it attracts a large number of digital nomads and independent developers. The weather is pleasant, the cost of living is low, and many people simply go there to vacation and code. KITE is clearly targeting this group.
The event was not a conventional conference but a hands-on workshop. CTO Scott Shi personally demonstrated, guiding attendees step-by-step from creating an Agent, setting permissions, to completing the first transaction. The entire process was taught on-site. The technical content covered how to deploy an Agent on KITE, how to use Kite Passport for identity verification, and how to integrate stablecoin payments—these are the things developers truly care about. Such an approach is quite rare in the crypto space.

Chiang Mai Napo is indeed tough. It's not about finding developers to pump the market; this approach is a bit counterintuitive.
The CTO personally teaches deployment, which is quite different. Most projects just make a PPT and call it a day.
This is what I call practical community building, not just empty slogans.

The workshop in Chiang Mai was really insightful; it's rare to see the CTO personally teaching hands-on.

The workshop in Chiang Mai was truly different. Finally saw a project genuinely working on the developer ecosystem instead of just cutting leeks.
Scott Shi personally demonstrated that part, I respect it. This is the attitude a crypto project should have.
I wonder how long this kind of approach can be maintained. Most will eventually revert to the old pump-and-dump tactics.
There are very few projects that truly value the developer community, which is worth noting.
However, I hadn't really noticed that Chiang Mai gathered so many independent developers. The selection was indeed very precise.
Just worried that the subsequent execution might not keep up. Hope it doesn't turn into another abandoned project.

The workshop in Chiang Mai was indeed a bit different, not the kind of superficial conference, but truly focused on technical content.
Building a developer community is much more reliable than just pumping the market; only through long-term efforts can real users be accumulated.
By the way, having the CTO personally teach is quite rare in crypto; most projects have a marketing director just reading from a script.
