Web3 Information Platform Kaito: Creating a New Content Incentive and Project Screening Mechanism

1. Overview of Kaito

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

Kaito has also launched the "Attention Tokenization" mechanism, which quantifies the content published by users on the social platform, incentivizing the community to create and share high-quality information, thereby promoting a fair and transparent information financial ecosystem. The project was founded in 2022 and completed two rounds of financing in 2023, raising a total of $10.8 million.

2. Kaito Connect and Yaps Points System

To incentivize community participation and reward valuable information contributions, Kaito has launched the Kaito Connect network and the Yaps points system. The Yaps program is the core incentive mechanism that encourages users to post high-quality crypto-related content on the social platform. The system assesses post quality, interaction depth, and content relevance through AI, rewarding genuine high-quality contributions.

Participants can earn points ( Yap Points ) for:

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

Yapper Rankings and Launchpad

Kaito has built a content incentive and project selection mechanism through the Yapper leaderboard and Launchpad. Users can gain rankings for publishing high-quality crypto content, with the leaderboard covering an overall ranking, an AI-themed ranking, and dedicated rankings for each project. Each specific crypto project also has its own project leaderboard, divided into two phases: before and after TGE.

The community can vote through the Launchpad to decide which new projects make it onto the list. Holding Yap points or being a Smart Follower allows participation, with new projects selected for the leaderboard every week. Voting methods include Yapper voting based on points and followers, as well as Holder voting based on NFTs and staking.

Kaito Connect

Kaito Connect is an AI-based InfoFi information network that promotes information sharing and transparency. Any user can participate and share cryptocurrency-related information to obtain corresponding value shares. All rewards are recorded on-chain and publicly accessible, and the leaderboard mechanism ensures transparent disclosure of sponsored content. The network includes four types of participants: creators, regular users, brands, and platforms, striving for fair distribution of rewards among all parties.

3. The Acquisition Mechanism of Yaps

1. Yap Points Calculation Rules

Kaito's Yaps system focuses on the quality of posts rather than quantity. The algorithm uses large language models to understand content in multiple languages, filter out spam, and reward insightful posts. Factors taken into consideration include:

• 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 cryptocurrency relevance.
• Originality protection: Using LLM and plagiarism detection tools to combat junk content and plagiarism

2. Ways to obtain Yaps points

The points are heavily reliant on interaction signals from influential Crypto Twitter accounts, particularly high-quality social behaviors such as comments and quotes, to reverse-verify content value and prevent bot activity and invalid interactions from inflating scores.

Method 1: Deep Interaction Strategy

Actively comment on tweets from high-impact Twitter accounts to express your views. You can increase the likelihood of a response by providing additional data or insights. Reply to tweets about popular projects in the current market to enhance the quality of interaction. Additionally, attracting the attention of high-impact accounts can also earn you corresponding Yap points.

Method 2: Write In-Depth Content

Focus on writing in-depth content (technical analysis, valuation models, airdrop strategies, etc.) for the projects on the weekly leaderboard, and then @ the project party and Kaito to obtain Yaps+ potential project party rewards. Ordinary users can also enter the leaderboard and receive corresponding rewards by publishing high-quality tweets and opinions. Small accounts can also succeed because Kaito's algorithm does not only favor users with a large number of followers; some users with fewer followers can surpass KOLs in rankings through high-quality tweets.

3. Kaito voting mechanism

Kaito's voting mechanism revolves around the Yapper Launchpad, with the core focus on allocating influence through holding and participation. Voting is divided into Yapper voting (based on Yap points and the number of Smart Followers) and Holder voting (based on the sKAITO obtained from staking KAITO and Genesis NFTs). Holder voting accounts for 75%, while Yapper community votes account for 25%. The Genesis NFT acts as a "voting multiplier" to enhance the voting power of sKAITO, helping long-term holders gain higher weight.

The voting power of sKAITO is calculated based on four dimensions: the amount of holdings, holding time, continuous voting time, and the system's dynamic multiplier. The system encourages long-term lock-up and stable support through time-weighted and "holding scores." The voting influence of sKAITO will gradually accumulate over time and will not be immediately apparent; the Genesis NFT can enhance its final effect.

4. Popular Activities

1. INFINEX (Ranked First in Popularity)

The activities of INFINEX are conducted seasonally, with a total prize pool of approximately 6 million USD equivalent in uPatrons. The rewards for Season 0 are about 600,000 USD, and we are currently in Season 1, with rewards of approximately 900,000 USD. Users participate in the points competition through content creation and invitation mechanisms to earn uPatrons rewards. The points and reward amounts allocated each season gradually increase.

Participation methods include:

• Publish high-quality insights related to INFINEX on Twitter
• Recommend real users to use the platform to increase points.
• Become an INFINEX sponsor and earn points and yield multipliers

2. Huma Finance

The Huma event is divided into three seasons, with a total prize pool of approximately 0.5% of the total Huma supply, around 2.3 million USD. Participants need to produce in-depth and valuable high-quality Huma-related content on Twitter and rank in the top 500 of the Huma Yapper leaderboard to share the HUMA token rewards. In addition, users of the Kaito ecosystem will also share an additional 10 million HUMA tokens.

3. Newton

The total reward pool for Newton's activities is approximately 0.75% of the total supply of NEWT, of which 0.5% is allocated to high-quality Yapple and successful referrals, and up to 0.25% will be distributed to the Kaito community based on community milestone achievements. Users earn rewards through content creation, recommending agents, and interacting with the community, and a community milestone bonus mechanism and identity weighting are introduced.

Participation methods include:

• Publish in-depth original content about Magic Newton on Twitter
• Recommend other users to register and use the Recurring Buy Agent
• Participate in social media engagement, join Discord, and interactive mini-games on the platform.

4. LOUD (ended)

The design inspiration for LOUD comes from the attention (Mindshare) concept proposed by Kaito. Its operating mechanism is to obtain attention value by having users publish 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 weekly according to their rankings. LOUD has gained significant attention in a short period, which is related to its low initial financing threshold.

After being launched, the price of LOUD once skyrocketed to a market value of about $36 million, bringing more than a hundred times returns to early investors. However, due to the concentrated release of initially unlocked tokens and a lack of sustained narrative support, the price subsequently experienced a significant correction, and the current market value has fallen to about $1.31 million.

V. Summary

Kaito has built an innovative information ecosystem through Kaito Connect and the Yaps points system, allowing KOLs to amplify their influence and generate income, while project parties can more accurately identify key creators and design interactive mechanisms to effectively link community content with project value. Although ordinary users also have the opportunity to earn points through content creation and interaction, the overall operational threshold is relatively high, requiring continuous time investment to manage their accounts. Compared to past methods of participating in single project test nets or trading to obtain airdrops, the Kaito model presents higher costs and participation difficulty for retail investors, providing more incentives for long-term content creators.
