Project Overview

Kaito AI is a project that offers a system for distributing points based on a proprietary metric for posts on X (formerly Twitter). It enables each crypto project to visualize the influence and outreach of registered users on X, functioning as a new form of infrastructure for information dissemination in the crypto market.

Funding Information

Kaito AI has raised a total of $10.8 million to date. Participating venture capital firms include renowned VC Sequoia Capital.

Airdrop Information

Kaito AI has launched a reward distribution system through its platform called "Yaps," where participating projects set their own rewards for users. By posting on X about these projects and generating engagement, users can earn rewards such as USDC (a USD-pegged stablecoin) or new tokens issued by each project.

13 Projects Currently Registered: As of April, 13 projects are listed, each with different rewards and distribution conditions.
Earn Rewards via Posts on X: Users post about participating projects and earn rewards by meeting the listed conditions.

Project Details

What is Kaito AI?

Kaito AI is a platform that analyzes posts on X to score and visualize user influence, fostering engagement with crypto projects. Users earn points called "Yaps" and receive rewards in USDC or tokens. It aims to bridge Web2 and Web3 while building a trusted information infrastructure under the concept of "InfoFi" (information finance).

Kaito AI’s Purpose

The platform aims to create a new financial realm called InfoFi using crypto and blockchain. It connects scored X users with crypto projects through two platforms—"Kaito Yaps" and "Kaito Connect"—serving also as tools for hiring and marketing.

Kaito Yaps: Tokenizing Attention

Kaito uses AI algorithms to tokenize "attention" based on rich signals like social graphs and semantic understanding. This quantification is broken into:

Proof-of-Work: Amount of related posts
Proof-of-Exchange: Engagement with trust
Proof-of-Insight: Insightful and original discussion

Kaito Connect: The InfoFi Network

Kaito Connect is an AI-powered financial information network combining market principles and technology.

✅ Fairness: Open access, value redistribution
✅ Transparency: Public blockchain-based rewards, leaderboard visibility
✅ Efficiency: No middlemen, performance-based rewards

Core Components

📌 Yaps = Tokenized Proof of Attention
🧑 Yapper Leaderboards = Public Creator Rankings
🚀 Yapper Launchpad = Market-Driven Attention Allocation

Kaito AI Features

Scoring X activity with automatic ranking and Yaps distribution
Offering a new "Mindshare" metric to reflect user interest
Bridging Web2's X with Web3 tools like wallets and tokens

Strengths and Vision

Kaito AI’s strength lies in visualizing influence and building a new economy around it. It adapts technology from "Kaito Pro," an expert-oriented Web3 intelligence service, to serve general users. Its vision is to pioneer the InfoFi domain.

Problems Solved

Lack of incentives for Web3 content creators
Shortage of reliable Web3 information
Stagnation in market expansion

Tokenomics

$KAITO is the ecosystem token, enabling staking-based yields, voting rights for listed projects, and liquidity provision for yield.

Partnerships

Besides listed projects, Kaito partners with Web3 players like Sentient, Noise, and Focal. It is backed by VCs such as Sequoia Capital and Dragonfly.

Roadmap

Kaito Earn: Fair reward allocation
Capital Launchpad: AI-based user-project matching
Kaito Markets: Trading narratives and sentiment
Integration with TikTok and other platforms
iOS app release
