Web3 Information Platform Kaito: Building an AI-based InfoFi Ecosystem

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

Kaito was founded in 2022 and completed two rounds of financing in 2023, raising a total of 10.8 million USD. The investors include several well-known institutions.

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 Kaito's core incentive mechanism, encouraging users to post high-quality cryptocurrency-related content on social platforms. The system uses AI to evaluate post quality, interaction depth, and content relevance, rewarding genuine high-quality contributions. Participants are referred to as "Yappers," and the points they earn can be used for various purposes, such as participating in reward distribution and gaining eligibility for future airdrops.

Yapper Ranking and Launchpad

Kaito has built 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 topic ranking, and exclusive rankings for each project. The community can vote via the Launchpad to determine which new projects make it onto the list, and holders of Yap points or Smart Followers can participate, with new projects being selected for the leaderboard each week.

Kaito Connect

Kaito Connect is an AI-based InfoFi information network that facilitates information sharing and transparency through interconnected products and frameworks. Any user can participate and share crypto-related information to earn corresponding value shares. The network includes four types of participants: creators, regular users, brands, and platforms, and strives to fairly distribute rewards among these four parties.

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 focuses more on the quality of the posts. The algorithm uses large language models to understand content in multiple languages, filter out spam, and reward insightful posts. The calculation rules take into account factors such as posting frequency, interaction performance, content semantics, and originality.

2. How to obtain Yaps points

The acquisition of points relies heavily on interaction signals from high-influence Crypto Twitter accounts, especially high-quality social behaviors such as comments and quotes, to reverse-verify content value and prevent spam accounts and ineffective interactions from inflating scores.

Method 1: Deep Interaction Strategy

Actively comment on tweets from high-impact accounts to express your views. You can increase the likelihood of a response by supplementing with 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 weekly leaderboard projects, and then @ the project parties and platform to obtain Yaps and potential project party rewards. Even small accounts with few fans can gain the opportunity to enter the leaderboard and receive corresponding rewards by posting high-quality tweets and opinions.

3. Voting Mechanism

Kaito's voting mechanism revolves around the Yapper Launchpad, focusing on distributing 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 points earned through staking and specific NFTs). Holder voting accounts for 75%, while Yapper community votes account for 25%. Specific NFTs act as "voting multipliers" to enhance voting effectiveness, helping long-term holders gain higher weight.

Popular Events

1. A certain trading platform

The event is held seasonally, with a total prize pool of approximately $6 million worth of tokens. Users participate in point competition through content creation and an invitation mechanism to earn rewards. The points and reward amounts allocated each season gradually increase, and users ranked higher can receive significant rewards.

2. A certain DeFi project

The project activities are divided into three seasons, with a total prize pool of approximately $2.3 million. Participants are required to produce high-quality relevant content on social platforms and rank in the top 500 to share token rewards. In addition, users of the Kaito ecosystem will also share additional token rewards.

3. A certain intelligent agent project

The total prize pool for this project is approximately 0.75% of the total token supply. Users can earn rewards through content creation, referral usage, and community interaction mechanisms, and a community milestone incentive mechanism and identity weighting are introduced. As the community grows overall, the benefits will become even more generous.

4. A certain attention token project (ended)

The design inspiration for this project comes from the concept of Mindshare proposed by Kaito. Its operational mechanism is to obtain attention value through users posting relevant content on social platforms. Based on this, the system generates a leaderboard, and the official distributes 72% of the token trading fee income to the top 25 users weekly according to their rankings. After the project went live, the price rose significantly, but then it experienced a substantial correction due to reasons such as the concentrated release of initially unlocked tokens.

Summary

Kaito, through its unique information ecosystem, provides content creators with new avenues for amplifying their influence and generating revenue, while also offering project teams a more precise community interaction mechanism. Although ordinary users also have the opportunity to participate, the overall operational threshold is relatively high, requiring a continuous investment of time to manage their accounts. Compared to the past methods of participating in a single project's testnet or trading to obtain airdrops, the Kaito model presents higher costs and participation difficulties for retail investors, incentivizing long-term content creators more.
