Gm Squids 🦑, social media runs on attention—but what if you could get paid for it?

The latest wave of attention-driven token launches is here, and projects like $KAITO and $SEA are using AI, tokenized rewards, and decentralized incentives to realign how digital influence works.

💡 Kaito’s AI-driven InfoFi model lets you earn based on real engagement, not vanity metrics.
💰 OpenSea just launched $SEA, finally dropping a token for its OG users.
🔴 RedStone’s $RED token is set to power modular oracles with EigenLayer integration.

We break it all down in Leviathan’s daily newsletter The Tentacle…

Kaito is an AI-powered crypto search and “InfoFi” project built around the idea of tokenized attention, where users can be rewarded for meaningful engagement rather than vanity metrics. Its native token, KAITO, launched with a total supply of 1 billion tokens, with about 24% circulating at listing and a 10% community and ecosystem airdrop aimed at early users, including the “Yapper” community and Genesis NFT holders. The project’s appeal comes from its attempt to turn social influence into a measurable, incentive-driven system: Kaito’s Yaps and Yapper leaderboards track participation and reward content creation and curation, while KAITO also serves as the network’s currency and governance token. The story matters because it reflects a broader Web3 trend toward “yap-to-earn” and attention markets, but it has also drawn skepticism over whether token incentives improve discussion quality or simply gamify social media engagement.
