Bier said these “infofi” apps created “AI slop & reply spam,” and that cutting off access should reduce bot-driven posting once the incentives disappear. The move is significant because it targets a marketing model used by crypto-native social platforms and creator-reward products such as Kaito and Cookie, which had relied on incentive loops tied to X activity. Coverage after the announcement described the change as a blow to reward-for-posting schemes and a likely pivot point toward more traditional marketing channels, including agencies and direct creator deals, where quality of content and relationship-building matter more than volume. The broader context is X tightening control over its developer ecosystem and engagement monetization. Supporters of the policy frame it as an anti-spam measure, while critics see it as a major constraint on the emerging InfoFi category that monetized attention and posting behavior on X.46:T43e,X has revoked API access from apps that reward users for posting on the platform, a policy change announced by X head of product Nikita Bier.

According to Kaito’s FAQ and promotional materials, Capital Launchpad is designed to allocate token sale access based on a combination of social reputation, on‑chain activity, historical community participation, and other analytics, rather than simple transaction speed or bot-driven race conditions. This makes it a merit- and relevance-based system intended to better match committed community members with early-stage project allocations while still leaving any unfilled portions of a round to a residual FCFS phase. The platform is framed as a community-centric crowdfunding solution, connecting projects with participants through Kaito’s social mapping and data analytics, with all launchpad fees fed back into the broader community via the gKAITO mechanism. Kaito requires KYC/AML checks and currently supports USDC on Base for funding, which aligns it more with compliant, data‑driven fundraising than with fully permissionless IDOs. Strategically, Capital Launchpad is Kaito’s move to extend its core competency—analyzing attention, reputation, and engagement on crypto social media—into capital formation, attempting to reduce the role of pure speed, bots, and opaque allocations in token launches and to formalize “attention capital” as a basis for early access to deals.48:T61a,Kaito, an AI-driven crypto research and attention markets platform, has announced the upcoming launch of Capital Launchpad, a community-focused fundraising platform positioned as an alternative to the traditional first-come, first-served (FCFS) launchpad model.

Katana says the first two seasons will share a pool of 10,000,000 KAT, and season 1 also includes a monthly $20,000 USDC allocation for the top 25 creators who produce high-reach, original content. The announcement fits a broader trend in crypto marketing and community building: Kaito runs attention-based leaderboards that rank creators by topic or project, turning social posting into a measurable incentive system. In Katana’s framing, the leaderboard is meant to surface “the smartest, sharpest voices” discussing the project on crypto Twitter, using the Kaito platform to track mindshare and distribute rewards to active advocates. The story matters because it shows how crypto projects are increasingly using InfoFi/mindshare campaigns to drive awareness, shape narratives, and reward content creators rather than relying only on traditional liquidity or trading incentives. It also highlights Kaito’s growing role as an infrastructure layer for these campaigns, with similar leaderboards already used by other ecosystems such as Polygon.4a:T4c5,Katana has launched a Kaito mindshare leaderboard on X, with the project describing it as a way to reward people who post about Katana and help spread its narrative.

Hu argues that attention is inherently valuable in a digital environment where user focus is scarce, but stresses that its true value is conditional rather than absolute. According to him, the quality of attention depends on factors such as user retention, the strength of consensus around a narrative, the underlying product’s fundamentals, and content quality, echoing themes he has discussed in prior essays and interviews. In this view, attention that cannot be retained, converted, or anchored to a strong product or community has limited long‑term economic significance, even if it produces short‑term spikes in price or engagement. Hu’s thread also explains how he sees Kaito fitting into this new attention landscape: as infrastructure that turns attention into measurable, allocatable “attention capital” and then bridges it to user action and capital formation. Kaito has developed features such as Yaps and attention leaderboards to quantify and route attention, along with Kaito Earn and an upcoming Capital Launchpad to convert that attention into on-chain participation, staking, and investment opportunities. Data compiled on Dune and reported by industry media show that Kaito has already distributed over $74 million in on-chain incentives to more than 5.7 million wallets, positioning it as one of the largest distributors of on-chain rewards and a prominent case study for tokenized attention in practice. For the broader crypto sector, Hu’s analysis matters because it links speculative “attention trading” to a more systematic framework—InfoFi—in which information, influence, and capital are coordinated through AI-native infrastructure, potentially reshaping how projects build reputations, acquire users, and raise capital in Web3.4c:T7ce,In a recent X thread, Kaito founder Yu Hu laid out a structured view on whether and how attention drives value in crypto and Web3, framing it as part of an emerging “attention economy” and his broader InfoFi thesis.

The sale is scheduled to begin on Saturday, May 31 at 10:00 AM EST (2:00 PM UTC / 10:00 PM HKT) on HoloworldAI’s HoloLaunch launchpad, with a fundraising target of 400 SOL (≈$70,000) in exchange for 45% of the 1 billion $LOUD total supply. Loud positions $LOUD as a tokenized proxy for social media attention, where users (“yappers”) earn mindshare through engagement on X that can translate into rewards. The offering is structured in two phases that prioritize the project’s existing attention-based community. Phase 1 is a guaranteed allocation window for the top 1,000 users on the Loud/Kaito mindshare leaderboard, each able to contribute 0.2 SOL during a two-hour priority period. Phase 2 switches to a first-come, first-served model for a broader set of around 120,000 eligible KaitoAI users who have linked a Solana wallet and meet minimum “smart follower” criteria, with dynamic refunds if the sale is oversubscribed. After the IAO, the raised SOL and 45% of the $LOUD supply will be deposited into a MeteoraAG liquidity pool, enabling secondary trading, and protocol trading fees are set to be distributed weekly to participants starting roughly one week after trading begins. This launch is notable as one of the more visible attempts to formalize an “attention market,” where attention and social engagement become an on-chain, tradable variable rather than a purely off-chain metric controlled by platforms. By tying token distribution and access to measured attention via KaitoAI, Loud is experimenting with a fundraise model—an Initial Attention Offering—that differs from traditional ICOs by explicitly valuing and rewarding early social participation and influence rather than just capital.4e:T7b5,Loud, a Solana-based “decentralized attention market” experiment built around KaitoAI’s mindshare system, has announced detailed terms for its Initial Attention Offering (IAO), which also serves as the formal launch of the $LOUD token.

According to Kaito’s statement on X, the project signed a market-making agreement with Web3Port on February 17, 2025, as one of several arrangements intended to support initial trading price stability around its February 20 TGE, but voluntarily terminated the deal on February 27—about 10 days later—after concluding Web3Port’s execution was diverging from Kaito’s original intent. The clarification came after market-making contracts involving Web3Port were leaked and circulated publicly, raising community questions about who had engaged the firm and under what terms. Kaito emphasized that the terminated Web3Port deal predated later negative press and exchange investigations into Web3Port that began in March, seeking to distance itself from subsequent controversies linked to the market maker. The project also stressed that the Kaito Foundation has not sold any KAITO tokens since the TGE and instead has been a net buyer via an ongoing buyback program, positioning its actions as supportive rather than extractive toward secondary-market liquidity. The episode highlights continuing scrutiny around market-making practices in token launches, the reputational risk for projects associated with controversial liquidity providers, and the growing expectation that teams disclose the nature and duration of their arrangements with third‑party market makers.50:T66a,Kaito, an AI-focused Web3 project and issuer of the KAITO token, disclosed that it had briefly engaged Web3Port as a market maker around its token generation event (TGE) and then quickly exited the arrangement after concerns about how the mandate was being executed.

This follows a steady rise in KAITO staking since the project’s token launch and airdrop campaigns, with earlier on-chain data and coverage noting thresholds at 10 million staked and then higher all‑time highs in subsequent months. The 16 million figure reflects the amount of KAITO that users have locked in Kaito’s staking contract, where unstaking requires a 7‑day waiting period and there is no secondary market for the staked derivative (sKAITO). Kaito is an AI-powered “InfoFi” platform that aggregates and structures crypto market intelligence, social data, and attention, and has become known for large-scale on-chain incentive programs and airdrops tied to its KAITO token. Staking plays a central role in this ecosystem: users stake KAITO to participate more deeply in Kaito’s products and token-economy design, while the locked supply can reduce circulating liquidity and signal longer-term commitment from holders. Earlier analyses reported that KAITO staking had climbed past 10 million tokens with thousands of participating addresses and later to over 19 million and then 28 million in various periods, illustrating that staking levels fluctuate with market conditions, airdrop seasons, and product changes. Passing 16 million staked at this stage underscores that, despite shifts such as the sunset of its earlier Yaps “post‑to‑earn” program, Kaito continues to attract users who are willing to lock tokens into its InfoFi and attention‑economy model.52:T688,Web3 AI platform Kaito announced on X that the total amount of staked KAITO tokens has surpassed 16 million, marking a new milestone for user participation in its staking program.

An MEV bot dubbed “Yoink” monitored the mempool and systematically front‑ran users’ airdrop claim transactions, redirecting the resulting PROMPT to its own address and immediately swapping the tokens for ETH. On‑chain analysis and post‑mortems indicate that the Kaito-specific claim configuration was mis-set, leaving recipients improperly encoded in the Merkle proof and allowing the bot to insert its own transactions ahead of legitimate claimants. Over the course of the attack, the bot accumulated roughly 119–120 ETH (around $190,000 at the time), while many users saw the interface mark their allocation as “claimed” without ever receiving tokens. In response, the airdrop infrastructure provider TokenTable, which handled the Kaito/Wayfinder distribution, paused the Kaito claim flow to prevent further loss and began diagnosing the issue. Both Wayfinder and TokenTable have stated that the underlying smart contracts used for the broader PROMPT airdrop were audited and remain secure, characterizing the incident as a configuration and MEV‑exploitation problem rather than a direct contract bug. The teams have pledged to fully compensate affected users, including reimbursing stolen allocations and gas fees, and later reopened the social claim after remediation. Beyond the immediate losses, the exploit contributed to sharp price volatility in PROMPT and highlighted how misconfigurations and MEV bots can undermine on‑chain distribution events, even when core contracts have passed formal audits.54:T6a9,Wayfinder’s launch of its PROMPT token airdrop for Kaito users was disrupted by a Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) exploit that targeted the Kaito Wayfinder claim contract.

The post frames the move as Wen Moon becoming part of the Kaito team, suggesting a formal collaboration or role rather than a one-off partnership. This matters because Kaito positions itself as an AI-native research and data platform for crypto and Web3, aiming to aggregate on-chain, social, and research data into a unified interface for analysts and investors. Bringing in a creator like Wen Moon, who has built an audience around on-chain analysis, narratives, and early-stage project discovery, indicates Kaito’s strategy of combining technical infrastructure with recognizable research personalities to strengthen content quality and community reach. For users who follow Wen Moon’s work, this likely means more of that research being produced under or distributed through the Kaito ecosystem, potentially expanding Kaito’s influence as a discovery and research hub.56:T41d,Wen Moon, a prominent crypto-focused content creator and research persona on X, announced that they have joined Kaito, an AI-powered crypto research and knowledge platform.

The rollout, announced via the project’s official X account, extends the existing Kaito Pro experience—previously web-focused—into a mobile app environment designed for “comprehensive insights, anywhere, any time.” This aligns with Kaito’s broader strategy of building an “InfoFi” stack that indexes and analyzes large volumes of Web3 data to turn fragmented crypto information into actionable intelligence. The Kaito Pro Mobile beta has already seen at least one notable feature update, adding tools such as direct access to Token Mindshare heatmaps and enhanced metasearch capabilities, giving users a way to monitor narrative and attention flows across tokens from their phones. As Kaito positions itself as an enterprise-grade crypto research and market-intelligence platform, the mobile beta matters because it lowers friction for analysts, traders, and funds who rely on real‑time information and sentiment data on the go, and it potentially deepens engagement with the KAITO ecosystem and token-linked products.58:T49a,Kaito AI has launched the Kaito PRO mobile beta, bringing its AI-powered crypto intelligence terminal to mobile devices for Pro subscribers.

The airdrop is designed as a reward for early adopters of the Kaito ecosystem, including Kaito Genesis NFT holders, participants in the Yaps social engagement program, and select Binance users who subscribed BNB to Simple Earn products during a defined snapshot period in February 2025. Snapshots for eligibility were taken on February 17–18, 2025, and the claim window later ran until March 22, 2025, after which the official airdrop claim period ended. The KAITO token has a total supply of 1 billion, with about 24% of the supply circulating at launch, including 10% allocated to the initial community and ecosystem airdrop and an additional 2% reserved for Binance HODLer program airdrops. Remaining supply is distributed across ecosystem growth, creator incentives, the Kaito Foundation, core contributors, and early backers, aligning the token with Kaito’s positioning as an AI‑powered crypto search and “InfoFi” platform that tokenizes attention and information. Claims occur on the Base network, with some claim flows charging a fixed 0.0015 ETH fee handled by the airdrop infrastructure provider, which has drawn attention due to the notable on-chain revenue generated from claim fees. Kaito’s airdrop is strategically tied to the project’s broader launch, coming just ahead of KAITO listings on centralized exchanges such as Binance and OKX. The distribution heavily emphasizes the Yapper community—users who create and amplify crypto-related content on social media and earn “Yap points” based on engagement and originality—reflecting Kaito’s goal of building a tokenized attention economy around Web3 data and narrative tracking. While the official initial airdrop claim period has concluded, KAITO now trades on exchanges, and Kaito continues to position the token as the core utility asset for accessing and incentivizing activity within its AI-driven crypto information network.5a:T825,Kaito AI has opened claims for its KAITO token airdrop, marking the token’s initial distribution to early users and ecosystem participants via the Base blockchain.

The KAITO token has a total supply of 1 billion, with about 24% of the supply circulating at launch, including 10% allocated to the initial community and ecosystem airdrop and an additional 2% reserved for Binance HODLer program airdrops. Remaining supply is distributed across ecosystem growth, creator incentives, the Kaito Foundation, core contributors, and early backers, aligning the token with Kaito’s positioning as an AI‑powered crypto search and “InfoFi” platform that tokenizes attention and information. Claims occur on the Base network, with some claim flows charging a fixed 0.0015 ETH fee handled by the airdrop infrastructure provider, which has drawn attention due to the notable on-chain revenue generated from claim fees. Kaito’s airdrop is strategically tied to the project’s broader launch, coming just ahead of KAITO listings on centralized exchanges such as Binance and OKX. The distribution heavily emphasizes the Yapper community—users who create and amplify crypto-related content on social media and earn “Yap points” based on engagement and originality—reflecting Kaito’s goal of building a tokenized attention economy around Web3 data and narrative tracking. While the official initial airdrop claim period has concluded, KAITO now trades on exchanges, and Kaito continues to position the token as the core utility asset for accessing and incentivizing activity within its AI-driven crypto information network.5b:T538,Kaito AI, an AI-powered crypto information and “InfoFi” platform, has formally announced the tokenomics for its native token $KAITO, positioning it as the main currency and governance asset of its ecosystem. The total supply is capped at 1 billion KAITO, with allocations designed to fund ecosystem growth, reward contributors, and incentivize community participation across its products, including search, analytics, and attention/creator tools. According to the announced breakdown, 32.2% of the supply is allocated to ecosystem and network growth, 25% to core contributors, 10% to an early community and ecosystem claim, and 10% to the foundation. The remaining tokens are split between early backers (8.3%), long‑term creator incentives (7.5%), liquidity incentives (5%), and Binance Launchpool participants (2%). Kaito has framed this as 56.67% of the supply going broadly to “Community & Ecosystem,” with 19.5% earmarked for initial and long‑term airdrops and incentives, including the initial Yapper community, Genesis NFT holders, and ecosystem partners. The design has attracted attention because a substantial share is still reserved for insiders and structured releases, prompting some debate over insider vs. community allocations even as Kaito integrates the token into its broader InfoFi and governance model.5c:T538,Kaito AI, an AI-powered crypto information and “InfoFi” platform, has formally announced the tokenomics for its native token $KAITO, positioning it as the main currency and governance asset of its ecosystem.
