Web3 Information Platform Kaito: Building an AI-Driven Content Ecosystem

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. Utilizing large language models and semantic understanding technologies, Kaito transforms unstructured information into instant insights, including sentiment analysis, keyword tracking, and narrative context mining functions.

The platform has also launched a "tokenization of attention" mechanism, aimed at quantifying the real impact of users' content posted on social media, incentivizing the community to create and share high-quality information, and promoting a fair and transparent information financial ecosystem. Kaito was founded in 2022 and completed two rounds of financing in 2023, raising a total of 10.8 million dollars.

Kaito Connect and Yaps Points System

To incentivize community participation and reward valuable information contributions, Kaito launched the Kaito Connect network and the Yaps points system. The Yaps program is the core incentive mechanism of the platform, encouraging users to post high-quality crypto-related content on social media. The system evaluates post quality, interaction depth, and content relevance through AI, rewarding genuine high-quality contributions. Participants can earn Yap Points, which can be used to participate in reward distribution, gain eligibility for future airdrops, enhance leaderboard rankings, and unlock more ecosystem benefits.

Kaito has also built a content incentive and project selection mechanism through the Yapper leaderboard and Launchpad. The leaderboard includes an overall ranking, an AI special ranking, and dedicated rankings for various projects. The community can vote on new projects to be listed through the Launchpad; holders of Yap points or Smart Followers can participate, and new projects are selected to enter the leaderboard every week.

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

Acquisition Mechanism of Yaps

The Yaps points calculation rules rely not only on traditional "likes" or "reads", but also comprehensively consider factors such as posting frequency, interaction performance, content semantics, and originality. The algorithm uses large language models to understand multilingual content, filter out spam, and reward insightful posts.

There are mainly two ways to earn Yaps points:

1. In-depth interaction strategy: Actively comment on the tweets of high-impact accounts to express your views, or choose to reply to tweets of popular projects to enhance the quality of interaction.

2. Write in-depth content: Focus on writing in-depth content for the projects on the weekly leaderboard, such as technical analysis, valuation models, or airdrop strategies, and @ the project team and Kaito to receive Yaps and potential project rewards.

It is worth noting that even small accounts with a limited number of followers can have the opportunity to enter the leaderboard and receive corresponding rewards by posting high-quality tweets and opinions.

Kaito Voting Mechanism

Kaito's voting mechanism revolves around the Yapper Launchpad, distributing influence through holding and participation actions. Voting is divided into Yapper votes (based on Yap points and the number of Smart Followers) and Holder votes (based on the sKAITO obtained from staking KAITO and Genesis NFTs). Holder votes account for 75%, while Yapper community votes account for 25%.

sKAITO's voting power is calculated based on four dimensions: the number of holdings, holding time, duration of continuous voting, and the system's dynamic multiplier. The system encourages long-term locking and stable support through time-weighted and "holding scores."

Popular Events

1. INFINEX: Activities are conducted by season, with a total prize pool of approximately 6 million USD equivalent uPatrons. Users participate in points competition through content creation and invitation mechanisms to earn rewards.

2. Huma Finance: The event is divided into three seasons, with a total prize pool of approximately $2.3 million. Participants need to produce high-quality Huma-related content on social media and rank in the top 500.

3. Newton: The total prize pool for the event is approximately 0.75% of the total supply of NEWT. Users can earn rewards through content creation, recommending agents, and engaging with the community, and a community milestone bonus mechanism and identity weighting are introduced.

4. LOUD (ended): This project gained significant attention through the Pre-TGE section of the Kaito platform, with its operating mechanism being to gain attention value by having users post relevant content on social media.

Summary

Kaito provides a platform through its innovative information ecosystem for KOLs to amplify their influence and generate revenue, while also enabling project parties to more accurately identify key creators and design interaction mechanisms. Although ordinary users also have the opportunity to participate in earning points, the overall operational threshold is relatively high, requiring continuous time investment to manage the account. Compared to the past methods of participating in single project testnets or trading to obtain airdrops, the Kaito model has higher costs and participation difficulty for retail investors, incentivizing long-term content creators more.
