Ecosystem

Chi Zhang appears in no ecosystem directory. This record comes from the 2026-09-04 AVAX typed-edge research pass (backend/scripts/data/avax-typed-edges-proposal-2026-09.json), which sources relationships from first-party prose rather than from listings. Named in FIRST-PARTY prose as Co-Founder and CEO, Kite (GoKite AI). Sourced in the 2026-09-04 AVAX DeFi founder-cluster research pass (tasks/avax-defi-founders-2026-09-04.md §5) and unblocked by Lam ruling 10 (2026-09-04 ~05:40Z), which un-deferred the endpoint; this row exists to carry that researched edge, not because the person appears in any directory.

Enrichment note

This entry is a SHELL created from the 2026-09-04 typed-edge research pass. Its prose restates what the cited first-party sources say and nothing more — it is not editorial and no biography has been written. It exists so the graph can carry the researched typed edge for Chi Zhang (chi-zhang FOUNDED gokite-ai); replace it with a researched About body before it carries coverage.
