Hey everyone! Recently, the crypto community was shaken by the KAITO project, which distributed hundreds of thousands of tokens to users with just 50k Twitter followers. Simply for chatting, being active, and collecting YAPS. Yes, farming this project was tough for regular users, but even those with 0 YAPS got rewards. So, let’s break down this project and what the future holds for it.
What is Kaito AI?
Kaito AI is an innovative Web3 information platform designed to simplify access to hard-to-find crypto content that traditional search engines struggle to index. It aggregates data from social networks, governance forums, research papers, news, podcasts, and other sources, helping users quickly analyze blockchain-related information.
In February 2025, Kaito AI launched its native token, KAITO, a core part of its InfoFi (Information Finance) ecosystem. The token serves three main purposes: market incentives, an internal currency, and community governance. The project had already secured $5.3M in 2023 under the leadership of Dragonfly Capital to develop its AI-driven search engine tailored for the crypto industry.
How Did Users Farm YAPS?
Unlike traditional farming (liquidity provision, staking, etc.), YAPS farming rewarded users for community engagement:
- Active participation in Discord/Telegram: helping newcomers and answering questions.
- Creating quality Twitter (X) content: posting analysis, educational content, and insightful reviews.
- Keeping the community engaged: sharing memes, initiating discussions, and fostering a positive vibe.
Projects like Sanctum adopted a similar approach, manually evaluating contributions and rewarding the most active members.
KAITO Team & Investments
Kaito AI was founded by Yu Hu, a former portfolio manager at Citadel, with a team experienced in hedge funds, AI, and blockchain.
The project has attracted major funding:
- Feb 2023: Raised $5.3M (Dragonfly Capital, Sequoia Capital, Jane Street, etc.).
- June 2023: Additional $5.5M (Superscrypt & Spartan Group), valuing Kaito at $87.5M.
Total raised: $10.8M.
