Kaito: A New Attempt to Build a Web3 Information Ecosystem

1. Project Background

Kaito is a Web3 information platform dedicated to solving the problem of information fragmentation in the crypto world. The platform collects and organizes information from various data sources in real-time through an AI-driven search engine and information network. It utilizes advanced language models and semantic understanding technologies to transform unstructured information into instant insights, including sentiment analysis, keyword tracking, and other features.

In addition, Kaito has launched an innovative mechanism that "tokenizes attention" on the content posted by users on social platforms, quantifying real influence, incentivizing the community to create and share high-quality information, and promoting a fair and transparent information financial ecosystem.

The project was established in 2022 and completed two rounds of financing in 2023, raising a total of 10.8 million USD, with investors including several well-known institutions.

2. Kaito Connect and Yaps Point System

To encourage community participation and reward valuable information contributions, Kaito has launched the Connect network and Yaps points system. The Yaps program is Kaito's core incentive mechanism, encouraging users to post high-quality content related to cryptocurrency on social platforms. The system uses AI to evaluate post quality, interaction depth, and content relevance, rewarding genuine high-quality contributions.

Participants are called "Yapper", and the points obtained can be used for:

• Participate in weekly reward distribution
• Obtain future air investment qualifications
• Improve ranking on the leaderboard
• Unlock more rights in the ecosystem

Kaito has established a content incentive and project selection mechanism through the Yapper leaderboard and Launchpad. Users can gain rankings by publishing high-quality crypto content, with the leaderboard covering an overall ranking, an AI-themed ranking, and various project-specific rankings. In addition, each specific crypto project has its own project leaderboard, divided into two phases, to identify and reward core opinion leaders and supporters.

The community can vote to decide which new projects are listed on the leaderboard through Launchpad. Holders of Yap points or Smart Followers can participate, with new projects selected for the leaderboard each week. Through Launchpad, users can participate in project support while creating opportunities to compete for their Yap points.

Kaito Connect is an AI-based information network that promotes information sharing and transparency through interconnected products and frameworks. Any user can participate and share crypto-related information to gain corresponding value shares. All rewards are recorded on-chain and are publicly verifiable, while the leaderboard mechanism ensures transparent disclosure of sponsored content.

3. The Acquisition Mechanism of Yaps

1. Yap Points Calculation Rules

Kaito's Yaps system does not solely rely on traditional "like counts" or "view counts", but rather places greater emphasis on the quality of posts. The algorithm utilizes large language models to understand content in multiple languages, filter out spam, and reward insightful posts. It takes into account the following factors:

• Posting frequency: Encourage continuous output, but quality is more important than quantity.
• Interaction Performance: Posts that receive shares, comments, and other interactions score higher.
• Content Semantics: Whether the content has analytical depth, originality, informativeness, and relevance to cryptocurrency.
• Originality protection: Using advanced tools to combat spam content and plagiarism

2. How to obtain Yaps points

The points are largely dependent on the interaction signals of highly influential crypto accounts, especially high-quality social behaviors such as comments and quotes, to reverse-validate content value and prevent fake accounts and ineffective interactions from inflating scores.

Method 1: Deep Interaction Strategy

Proactively comment on the content of high-influence accounts to express your own views. You can increase the likelihood of a response by supplementing with data or insights. Additionally, reply to content related to popular projects in the current market to enhance the quality of interaction. Attracting the attention of high-influence accounts can also earn you corresponding points.

Method 2: Write in-depth content

Focus on writing in-depth content for the weekly leaderboard projects, including technical analysis, valuation models, airdrop strategies, etc., and then mention the project party and platform to earn points and potential project party rewards. Taking a popular project as an example, a user successfully entered the top fifty of the leaderboard by posting about 20 original opinions and accompanying images, as well as a large number of relevant replies. This indicates that ordinary users can also have the opportunity to enter the leaderboard and receive corresponding rewards by posting high-quality content.

( Voting Mechanism

Kaito's voting mechanism revolves around the Yapper Launchpad, with the core focusing on distributing influence through holding and participation behaviors. Voting is divided into Yapper votes ) based on points and the number of followers ### and Holder votes ( based on the tokens earned through staking and special NFTs ). Holder votes account for 75%, while Yapper community votes account for 25%. Special NFTs serve as "voting multipliers" to enhance voting effectiveness, helping long-term holders achieve greater weight.

Voting power is calculated based on four dimensions: the number of holdings, holding time, continuous voting time, and system dynamic multiplier. The system encourages long-term locking and stable support through time weighting and "holding score". Voting influence will gradually accumulate over time and will not be immediately apparent; special NFTs can enhance its final effect.

4. Popular Activities

1. A trading platform ( ranks first in popularity )

The event is conducted by season, with a total prize pool of approximately 6 million USD worth of tokens. Currently, it is in the first season, with rewards of about 900,000 USD. Users participate in a points competition through content creation and an invitation mechanism to earn rewards. The points and rewards allocated each season will gradually increase: the top three players in season 0 will each receive rewards ranging from 10,000 to 35,000 USD; the top 10 will be rewarded with over 7,000 USD; and the top 138 players will each receive over 1,000 USD.

Participation methods include:

• Publish relevant high-quality insights, the system evaluates rankings weekly based on the posts.
• Recommend real users to use the platform, increase points
• Become a platform sponsor to earn points and revenue multipliers, improve rankings and rewards.

2. Huma Finance

Huma's activities are divided into three seasons, with a total prize pool of approximately 0.5% of the total supply, around 2.3 million USD. Participants need to produce in-depth and valuable Huma-related content on social platforms and rank in the top 500 to share HUMA token rewards. In addition, users in the Kaito ecosystem will also share an additional 10 million HUMA tokens. To qualify for this portion of the rewards, users must not only remain active in specific areas but also need to have a specific wallet on the platform and hold a certain amount of platform tokens.

3. Newton

The total prize pool for Newton's activities is approximately 0.75% of the total supply, with 0.5% allocated to quality participants and successful referrals, and up to 0.25% distributed to the community after achieving community milestones. Users earn rewards through content creation, referral usage, and mechanisms that interact with the community, introducing a community milestone bonus mechanism and identity weighting. As the overall community grows, the benefits will become even more substantial.

Participation methods include:

• Publish in-depth original content about the project
• Recommend other users to register and use specific features
• Participate in social media tasks and platform interactive mini-games

The community milestone bonus mechanism primarily refers to the increase in the proportion of tokens in the community reward pool when the overall number of active users in the community reaches a specific node. In other words, the more participation in the community, the higher the total reward pool.

4. The token project ( has ended )

The project has become the focus of market attention in the Pre-TGE section of a certain platform, accounting for nearly 60% of the attention share. Its operating mechanism is to acquire attention value through users posting relevant content on social platforms. Based on this, the system generates a leaderboard, and the official allocates 72% of the token trading fee revenue to the top 25 users according to their rankings every week; additionally, 18% is allocated to users of the staking platform's tokens, and 10% is allocated to creators.

The project raised approximately $70,000, selling 45% of the tokens in two bundled packages. After going live, the price surged to a market value of about $36 million, providing early investors with over a hundred times their investment. However, due to the concentrated release of unlocked tokens initially, combined with a lack of sustained narrative support, the price subsequently underwent a significant correction, and the current market value has fallen to around $1.31 million.

5. Conclusion

Kaito, through its innovative information ecosystem, provides KOLs with the opportunity to amplify their influence and generate income, while also allowing project parties to more accurately identify key creators, design interaction mechanisms, and achieve effective linkage between community content and project value. Although ordinary users also have the chance to earn points through content creation and interaction, the overall operational threshold is relatively high, requiring continuous investment of time to manage accounts. Compared to the past methods of participating in single project testnets or trading to acquire airdrops, the Kaito model presents higher costs and participation difficulty for retail investors, thereby incentivizing long-term content creators more.
