Kaito Connect is our AI-powered InfoFi network that combines AI and market forces to redefine how attention and capital flow. Built on a series of interconnected products and frameworks, it ensures genuine contributions are rewarded and value is placed where it truly belongs, creating a more equitable and efficient system for all participants.
Fairness
Democratized Access: Levelling the playing field. Participants do not need to be influencers — anyone can participate in the network.
Value Redistribution: Participants directly contribute in the redistribution of attention and thus receive a fairer share of the value through a rebalance of power.
Transparency
Transparency Between Brands and Creators/Users: Rewards for both creators and users are transparent on-chain.
Transparency Between Creators and Users: Due to the nature of public leaderboards, creators automatically disclose the sponsored nature of any content.
Efficiency
No Intermediaries: No traditional agencies or any other third parties involved.
Merit- and Performance-based: Content with greater impact receives higher rewards.
Yaps as Proof-of-Attention — AI-powered tokenized attention
Traditionally, attention has been measured by surface-level metrics such as clicks, views, and impressions. While easy to track and monitor, these parameters fail to capture the real impact.
Through the introduction of AI models that extract and interpret richer signals (such as social graphs and semantic understanding), the AI-powered algorithm is able to quantify attention and influence in a much more sophisticated way.
Yapper Leaderboards — public dashboard for creator contribution
In the past, brands engaging creators relied on middlemen recommendations and subjective metrics to gauge the influence of a creator. Payments are oftentimes also made in advance due to the lack of effective measurement, creating incentive misalignment.
Yapper Leaderboards provide a publicly accessible, merit- and performance-based ranking system that shows the most influential creators with verifiable performance attribution.
Yapper Launchpad — market forces driving attention distribution
Traditional distributors unilaterally dictate what information and content should receive attention (what users see, what brands get featured), leaving brands, creators and users out of the decision-making process.
Through the launchpad mechanism within the InfoFi network, the distribution of attention is determined by market forces, engaging creators, users, and other stakeholders in the Kaito ecosystem to ensure a more efficient system.
"Info finance is a discipline in which you (i) start with a fact you want to know and (ii) deliberately design a market to optimally elicit that information from market participants." — Vitalik Buterin, From Prediction Markets to Info Finance
The distribution of attention in today's market is, at best, inefficient, and, at worst, deeply unfair.
Inefficiency
Social media often creates echo chambers which lead to a suboptimal distribution of attention.
Platform algorithms may be biased or imperfect.
Algorithm-based attention distribution could be inferior to other alternatives, such as market-based systems, which are closer to the source of truth.
Unfairness
Creators receive only a small fraction of the value they generate directly from the platform.
Users drive the demand that fuels this economy but remain unrewarded for their time and engagement.
Platforms not only hoard the majority of the value but also dictate the flow of attention and value without accountability or transparency, due to a significant power imbalance (eg account suspensions could be made solely at the platform's discretion).
This is where InfoFi comes in: it allows market forces to determine where attention should flow. By introducing market forces, this approach has two major advantages:
Efficiency: Market-based systems have proven to be more effective in bringing the world closer to the source of truth — case in point: Polymarket’s role in 2024 US Election.
Decentralization & Fairness: Since market forces are driven by the collective actions of creators and users, this approach also reduces reliance on platform algorithms and facilitates a fairer, trustless redistribution of value across the entire network.
One of the struggles InfoFi has historically faced is the long-tail problem. While everyone can have a view on the outcome of the US elections, people find it much more difficult to form opinions on the majority of long-tail topics. For example, is Toyota more popular today than it was three months ago? How has sentiment toward Solana NFTs shifted in the past week?
AI, on the other hand, excels at solving long-tail problems. By tokenizing the hard-to-quantify, it provides valuable reference points that enable the formation of markets.
In fact, we believe AI-powered InfoFi is the endgame for information efficiency:
Stage 1: Disorganized information (the past)
Stage 2: AI-powered distribution (where we are today)
Stage 3: AI-powered InfoFi / market-driven distribution (where we are headed)
Attention as an Asset: Transform attention into a quantifiable and valuable resource that can be priced.
Market-Driven Distribution: Let markets determine which brands or topics deserve attention.
Democratized Participation: Empower everyone — creators and users alike — to participate and capture their fair share of value in this inclusive economy.
In this system, AI leverages algorithms to tokenize the digital economy, while market forces serve as the arbiter of value by drawing on the collective participation of all market players. AI-powered InfoFi establishes a new distribution network that is fairer, more transparent, and more efficient.
This is the heart of what we are building at Kaito.
Yapper Launchpad is designed to let market forces determine how attention is distributed.
This market-driven approach ensures that value flows to brands based on market consensus.
Creators
Creators vote for the brands that deserve the most attention and become an instrumental market force within the attention distribution network
Through this rebalancing of power, creators receive a fairer payout for their content creation, as well as an additional payout recognizing their participation in the attention distribution network
Users
Users vote for the brands that deserve the most attention and become an instrumental market force within the attention distribution network Users receive a fairer payout recognizing their participation in the attention distribution network
Brands
Brands bid for attention in a fair and public manner, without needing a good relationship with a centralized network operator Brands boost their visibility regardless of the outcome and can identify supporters through voting analytics
Yaps serve as a public good for recognizing, rewarding, and tracking attention. Fully accessible through our public API endpoint, Yaps allow any builder to access and build on top of tokenized attention permissionlessly.
Since the data went live in December 2024, numerous teams (eg Berachain, Story, Fantasy Top) have already been using it for various use cases, including SocialFi developments, reward distribution, and more.
For teams and developers who are keen to build on top of Yaps and looking for custom integrations, or additional features beyond what is publicly available, please get in touch .
The following section provides information on access to Yaps data via Kaito AI’s API.
Please note that the default rate limit is 100 calls every 5 minutes. If you have more bespoke needs, feel free to contact us .
This endpoint returns the Yaps score of the given user.
Note: either of user_id
or username
must be specified.
user_id
(optional, recommended): The 𝕏 account user id of the particular user you want to get Yaps data for. (Users can get 𝕏 user id via external tools)
username
(optional): The 𝕏 account user handle of the particular user you want to get Yaps data for.
Yaps data is available onchain, powered by EAS on Base. It is fully composable and permissionless for anyone to integrate into onchain applications and protocols.
Note that onchain Yaps are tied to a X account's username and Yaps score only; there is no direct linkage to wallet addresses.

"The currency of life isn’t money. It’s not even time. It’s attention." — Naval Ravikant
The era of GenAI has drastically reduced the marginal cost of producing information, increasing its abundance while making it more challenging to filter for what is truly worth our time. In this new economy, what is scarce and valuable is the attention that information accrues — through clicks, likes, shares, and impressions — representing the flow of value in the trillion-dollar attention economy.
Yet, the attention economy today is broken. Creators produce content, users contribute personal data, brands spend huge amounts on advertising — yet the vast majority of the value flows to platforms.
How do we redefine the relationship among creators, users, brands, and platforms?
How do we collectively build a fairer and more efficient attention economy, while rewarding all market participants?
At Kaito, we believe InfoFi is the answer.
Today, Kaito is the distribution center of crypto, where information, attention, and capital move seamlessly — powered by AI.

Since the birth of the digital economy, people have been eager to measure attention.
Brands are willing to pay for attention — or mindshare — as part of top-of-the-funnel user acquisition.
Creators want to prove their influence.
Users want to contextualize popularity and follow emerging trends.
However, attention has historically been incredibly difficult to quantify.
Surface-level metrics such as likes and impressions are increasingly botted and fail to capture real impact.
Qualitative metrics, on the other hand, are subjective and lack a universally accepted benchmark.
To address this challenge, Kaito has developed an algorithm-driven approach to tokenize attention, transforming it into a permissionless building block for open innovation.
Yaps utilizes advanced AI algorithms to extract and interpret rich signals (such as social graphs and semantics understanding) to quantify attention:
Proof-of-Work — Volume of subject-relevant content
Proof-of-Exchange — Real, reputation-weighted engagement
Proof-of-Insight — Insightful, original & focused discussions
Creators
Creators use their aggregated Yaps as a better Proof-of-Influence (than number of followers and total impressions) Creators use their daily Yaps as a better feedback loop (than engagements and impressions) for real, high quality attention
Users
Consumers use Yaps for high quality content and creator discovery
Brands
Brands use Yaps for high quality content and creator discovery

A. Airdrop and Claim Period. The process of the airdrop and/or claiming of Tokens period will be decided solely at our discretion which may be announced through our official channels. Airdrops may be conducted multiple times or only once, as determined by the Company at its sole and absolute discretion. The Company may adopt different, similar, or identical eligibility criteria or participation requirements as the Company determines at its sole and absolute discretion. Successful participation in a prior Airdrop Round does not guarantee, nor shall it create an expectation of, participation in a subsequent Airdrop Round. We reserve the right to modify, extend, or cancel the Airdrop Programme or any Airdrop Round at any time without prior notice to you.
B. Eligibility Verification. You are required to follow our required steps to verify your eligibility, which may include providing or connecting a compatible Digital Wallet, before you may be qualified to receive Tokens through this Airdrop.
C. Claiming Tokens. Eligible Participants will be required to follow the claim process within the designated claim period. This may involve connecting a compatible Digital Wallet, confirming your identity (whether through any know-your-customer (KYC processes) or through linking or connecting your social media profile), or completing any additional steps as we may deem necessary. Failure to claim Tokens within the stated period may result in forfeiture, and we are under no obligation to provide extensions or reissue any unclaimed Tokens to you. The Company will not be responsible or liable for any loss, non-delivery or forfeiture of Tokens or ineligibility of a participant arising from the participant’s failure to comply with or follow the relevant claims process established by the Company. When you link or connect your Digital Wallet and/or social media profile to the Airdrop Site, your use of your Digital Wallet and/or social media profile is at your own risk, and subject to the relevant Digital Wallet’s and/or social media platform’s service provider’s terms and conditions.
D. Transaction Fees. You are responsible for any transaction fees, including gas fees, that may be required to claim or transfer Tokens. You will not be able to claim your Tokens if the necessary gas fees have not been paid. Such transaction fees (including gas fees) often fluctuate based on a number of factors, all of which are not under our control, and may therefore change at any time without notice.
E. Token Allocation. We reserve the sole and absolute right to determine the total number of Tokens to be distributed in the Airdrop. Your participation in the Airdrop does not guarantee receipt of a specific number of tokens. Allocation amounts may vary among Eligible Participants, and we make no representation or warranty as to the quantity of Tokens any Eligible Participant may receive.
F. No Guarantee of Token Value. The Tokens distributed through this Airdrop Programme are provided on an “as-is” basis. We make no representations or warranties regarding the future value, liquidity, functionality, or utility of the Tokens.
G. Use of Digital Wallet. Participants hereby agree and confirm that it is the legal owner of the relevant Digital Wallet address that it provides for the purposes of the Airdrop Programme and will not sell, assign, or transfer control of such address or the Tokens to third parties to circumvent any Transferability Restrictions (as defined below) or to knowingly redistribute Tokens to any third party that would violate these Airdrop Terms if claimed directly by such third party. By linking or using a Digital Wallet, the participant agrees that it is using the Digital Wallet in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the relevant third-party provider of such Digital Wallet. Each participant acknowledges and agrees that the Digital Wallet is not maintained or supported by, or associated or affiliated with, the Company, and that the Company has no control over the Digital Wallet or the provision of services relating thereto. When a participant interacts with the any website or application (including the Airdrop Site) for the Airdrop Programme, as between the Company and the relevant participant, the participant retains control over its tokens, cryptocurrencies and other crypto or blockchain-based digital assets (collectively, "Digital Assets") held in the participant’s Digital Wallet at all times. The Company does not control the Digital Assets, including the Tokens, in a participant’s Digital Wallet, and the Company accepts no responsibility or liability to any participant in connection with that participant’s use of a Digital Wallet. The Company makes no representations or warranties regarding how the Airdrop Site, Airdrop Programme or any website or application relating thereto will operate with, or be compatible with, any specific Digital Wallet. The private keys necessary to access and/or transfer the Digital Assets held in a Digital Wallet are not known or held by the Company. Any third party that has or may gain access to a participant’s login credentials, private key, or third-party cloud or storage mechanism for such information may be able to misappropriate the Tokens and/or other Digital Assets held by the participant. The Company has no ability to help any participant access or recover its private key and/or seed phrase for its Digital Wallet. As between the participant and the Company, the participant is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of its private key and Digital Wallet, and the participant is solely responsible for any transaction signed with its private key. The Company is not responsible for any loss associated with the participant’s private key, Digital Wallet, vault, or other storage mechanism.
H. No Guarantee of Airdrop. The organisation and conduct of this Airdrop Programme and these Airdrop Terms shall not be deemed as a guarantee or promise that any Airdrop Round will occur or that any Tokens will be issued or delivered in the course of this Airdrop Programme. For avoidance of doubt, it is possible that no Airdrop Rounds will be conducted, and no Tokens will be issued or delivered, under this Airdrop Programme.
4. USE OF TOKENS
A. Token Usage. Participants acknowledge and agree that the Tokens received through the Airdrop Programme may have specific usage limitations, such as utility within a specific platform or ecosystem, and may have no monetary value. Additionally, the participants acknowledge and agree that the Tokens delivered pursuant to this Airdrop Programme may be subject to such lock-up periods, vesting schedules or similar restrictions relating to the transfer or disposal of the Tokens (collectively, “Transferability Restrictions”) as determined and imposed by the Company from time to time at its sole and absolute discretion, and the Eligible Participants hereby agree to abide and comply fully with such Transferability Restrictions as a condition to being eligible to claim and receive any Tokens under the Airdrop Programme.
B. Not an Investment Product. Tokens received through the Airdrop Programme are not intended as investment products nor as securities, and each participant acknowledges that the value of the Tokens (if any) may fluctuate and that no guarantees are made regarding future value of the Tokens (if any). The prices of such digital or blockchain assets are extremely volatile, subjective and do not have any inherent or intrinsic value. Fluctuations in the price of other Digital Assets could materially and adversely affect the Tokens, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. In addition, a lack of use or public interest in the Tokens could negatively impact the potential utility or value of the Token. Each Token has no inherent or intrinsic value, as their value is inherently subjective and factors occurring outside of the Company’s control may materially impact the value and desirability of the Tokens.
C. No Promise of Usability. The organisation and conduct of this Airdrop Programme, any Airdrop Round and the delivery of Tokens thereto to participants does not constitute, and shall not be deemed as, a promise by the Company that the Tokens are usable, tradeable or provided for any purpose whatsoever, whether immediately after the relevant Airdrop Round or any time thereafter. Each participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Tokens received via an Airdrop Round may not have an inherent value, usage or purpose, and that participants have no expectation of profit, value or use in the Tokens.

6. Information or communication about the airdrop
A. Official Source Only. We will announce the details of the Airdrop Programme, and any Airdrop Round, including the official claim process, on our Airdrop Site and/or verified official sites or social media channels. Any claim links or information from unofficial sources should be regarded as fraudulent and ignored.
B. Eligibility Checker. We may make available a website or application for participants to check their eligibility for any Airdrop Round (the “Eligibility Checker”). The Eligibility Checker is provided for your convenience only, and any information provided therein, including information relating to your eligibility and/or Token allocation, is an estimate only, and shall not be binding on the Company. Any information presented to you via the Eligibility Checker is not intended to, and shall not, create any expectation on you in respect of your eligibility to receive any Tokens under this Airdrop Programme. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the fairness, accuracy, timeliness, correctness or completeness of any information provided on the Eligibility Checker, and no reliance should be placed on it. The Eligibility Checker is an informational tool provided solely to assist in assessing your preliminary eligibility for the Airdrop Programme for your convenience only. Results displayed by the Eligibility Checker do not guarantee final eligibility, participation, or any right to receive tokens or rewards (or the amount thereof). We reserve the right to disqualify participants who are suspected of fraudulent or illegal activities, bypassing eligibility checks, or failing to meet any eligibility criteria. We reserve the right to change our decisions (and accordingly, any results displayed by the Eligibility Checker) on or prior to the occurrence of the Airdrop. The final number of Tokens that you may receive (if any) may differ from the results of the Eligibility Checker. You will not be required to connect your Digital Wallet to the Eligibility Checker. Any website or application that purports to be the Eligibility Checker and requires you to connect your Digital Wallet to the website or application will not be from us, and you should not connect your Digital Wallet to any such website or application.
C. Non-Binding Nature of Past Communications. Any statements, announcements or information we may have previously made relating to the Airdrop Programme, any Airdrop Round or any Tokens (whether via the Eligibility Checker, the Airdrop Site or anywhere else) are not binding and do not constitute a representation or guarantee. We are not liable for any reliance on such past communications.
D. Third-Party Information. We are not liable for any information or other communication made by any third party relating to the Eligibility Checker, Airdrop Site, Airdrop Programme, any Airdrop Round or any Tokens, including any speculative information about our eligibility criteria or the period of any Airdrop Round or the Airdrop Programme.

F. No Recovery or Liability. We will not be able to, nor are we obliged to, recover any Tokens or other Digital Assets lost due to scams, phishing attempts, or unauthorised third-party activities. We will not be liable for any losses, damages, or claims arising from your interaction with scam websites, fraudulent links, phishing emails, or any other form of unauthorised third-party activity impersonating us, the Airdrop Site, the Eligibility Checker or the Airdrop Programme.
7. SPECIFIC Risk DISCLOSURES AND disclaimers
By accessing and using the Eligibility Checker, the Airdrop Site and/or by participating in this Airdrop Programme, you acknowledge and accept the following inherent risks associated with Digital Assets, blockchain technology, and participation in the Airdrop Programme. You assume full responsibility for understanding and managing these risks, and you agree that we are not liable for any direct, indirect, special or consequential losses, damages or costs by reason of, or arising from, or as a consequence of, your participation in the Airdrop Programme.
A. Volatility. Digital Assets are highly volatile and subject to unpredictable fluctuations. Tokens received through this Airdrop Programme may experience extreme price changes, or may lose all value entirely. You should only participate if you are prepared for the possibility that the Tokens received may have limited or no financial value.
B. Technical Risks. Transactions on blockchain networks are irreversible, and Tokens may be lost permanently due to errors, forgotten private keys, or unauthorised access. By participating in the Airdrop Programme, you accept the technical risks associated with blockchain transactions, including delays, errors, and malfunctions that may affect token distribution or access to our Airdrop Site.
C. Smart Contract Vulnerabilities. This Airdrop Programme relies on smart contracts, which are potentially vulnerable to security flaws, bugs, and exploits. Any malfunction, coding error, or exploitation of smart contracts could result in partial or complete loss of Tokens.
D. Service Disruptions. Blockchain networks, wallet providers, and related third party services may experience downtime, delays, or disruptions due to factors beyond our control. These disruptions may delay or prevent access to our Airdrop Site and/or the claiming of Tokens, and we are not liable for losses incurred due to such events.
E. Security of Personal Wallets. You are solely responsible for securing your Digital Wallet, private keys, seed phrases, and other credentials. Loss or theft of your private key may result in permanent loss of Tokens and/or your Digital Assets, and we will not, nor shall we be obliged to, assist in recovery.
F. Regulatory Restrictions. Digital Assets are subject to evolving legal and regulatory frameworks in multiple jurisdictions. Tokens distributed in this Airdrop Programme may face regulatory restrictions in certain countries, which could limit their use, transferability, or legality. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction in respect of the Tokens and the Airdrop Programme.
G. Tax Obligations. Participation in this Airdrop Programme may have tax implications depending on your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for determining and fulfilling any tax obligations arising from receiving, holding, or transferring the Tokens.
H. Risk of Changes in Functionality. The Tokens do not have any rights, uses, purpose, attributes, functionalities or features, express or implied, and which may change from time to time.
I. No inherent or intrinsic value. No promises of future performance or price are or will be made in respect to the Tokens, including no promise of inherent value, no promise of continuing payments, and no guarantee that the Tokens will hold any particular value. Therefore, the recovery of spent resources may be impossible or may be subject to foreign laws or regulations, which may not be the same as the laws in the jurisdiction of the British Virgin Islands.
J. Risk of Losing Access to the Tokens Due to Loss of Private Key(s). A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of the Tokens stored in the participant’s Digital Wallet, vault or other storage mechanism. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with the participant’s Digital Wallet, vault or other storage mechanism storing the Tokens may result in loss of such Tokens. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a hosted wallet service used by the Participant, may be able to misappropriate any Tokens held by the participant. The Company cannot be responsible for any such losses.
K. Risk of Blockchain Level Attacks. As with other decentralized cryptographic tokens based on blockchain technology, the Tokens are or may be susceptible to attacks by nodes or validators responsible for validating/confirming transactions on the relevant blockchain, including, but not limited, to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks, and selfish-mining attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the Company and the Tokens, including, but not limited to, accurate execution and recording of transactions involving the Tokens.
L. Risks Associated with Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement Actions. The regulatory status of the Tokens and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions, but numerous regulatory authorities across jurisdictions have been outspoken about considering the implementation of regulatory regimes which govern digital asset markets. It is difficult to predict how or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing regulation with respect to such technology and its applications, including the Tokens. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether legislatures or regulatory agencies may implement changes to law and regulation affecting distributed ledger technology and its applications, including the Tokens. Regulatory actions could negatively impact the Tokens in various ways, including, for purposes of illustration only, through a determination that the Tokens are a regulated financial instrument that requires registration or licensing, or that the Company may not be able to provide regular service in certain areas. The Company may cease operations in a jurisdiction, or even abandon certain features of the project, in the event that regulatory actions, or changes to applicable law or regulation, make it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction, or commercially undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction.
M. Failure to develop. The Tokens and its associated blockchain protocol are still in the developmental stage, hence there may be large changes to the final design before the official version is released. There is the risk that the development of the Tokens and its associated blockchain protocol will not be executed or implemented as planned, or may not meet any expectation of purchasers or participants of the Airdrop Programme of the Tokens, for a variety of reasons, including without limitation the event of a decline in the prices of any Digital Assets or the Tokens, unforeseen technical difficulties, and shortage of development funds for activities.
N. Unanticipated Risks. Cryptographic tokens such as the Tokens are a new and untested technology. In addition to the aforementioned risks, there may be other risks associated with the participant’s participation in the Airdrop Programme and/or receipt, claim, holding and use of the Tokens, including those that the Company cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialize as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed in these Airdrop Terms.
O. Risks Associated with the Development and Maintenance of the Kaito Project. The Kaito project and ecosystem is still under development and may undergo significant changes over time. Although it is intended for the Tokens and Kaito project and ecosystem to follow the roadmap as may be communicated by the Company, and the Company will endeavour to work towards those ends (subject to internal business considerations), changes may be required to be made to the specifications, features, functionality, purpose, plans and/or other details of the Tokens or the Kaito project and ecosystem for any number of reasons. This could create the risk that the Tokens or the Kaito project and ecosystem, as further developed and maintained, may not meet the participant’s expectations or requirements at the time of purchase. Furthermore, despite the Company’s good faith efforts to develop and maintain the Kaito project and ecosystem, it is still possible that it will experience malfunctions or otherwise fail to be adequately developed or maintained or fail to be adequately adopted, which may negatively impact the Kaito project and ecosystem and the Tokens.
P. Inadequate disclosure of information. As at the date hereof, the Kaito project and ecosystem and the Tokens are still under development and its design concepts, consensus mechanisms, algorithms, codes, and other technical details and parameters may be constantly and frequently updated and changed. Although the Airdrop Site, Airdrop Terms and https://docs.kaito.ai/ contains the most current information relating to the Kaito ecosystem and project and the Tokens, it is not absolutely complete and may still be adjusted and updated by the team from time to time. The team has no ability and obligation to keep holders of the Tokens informed of every detail (including development progress and expected milestones) regarding the project to develop the Kaito ecosystem and project, hence insufficient information disclosure is inevitable and reasonable.
Q. Risks Related to Corporate Structure. The legal structure for the Company (including the intra-group arrangements) is bespoke and there is no generally accepted standard or structure for similar projects in the distributed ledger technology space. The legal structure had been designed to address certain specific legal risks, and attempt to decentralize the management and control, as well as economic risks and benefits relating to the Kaito ecosystem and project and the Tokens; but there is no legal precedent for whether these structures are effective and it is difficult to predict the position that a regulator may adopt. The legal structure and contractual arrangements may not be effective in decentralizing management and control, thereby adversely affecting the value of Kaito ecosystem and project and/or the Tokens.
R. Risk of Dissolution of the Company, or any of the Company’s Group entities or Kaito Project and Ecosystem. Start-up companies such as the Company involve a high degree of risk. Financial and operating risks confronting start-up companies are significant, and the Company is not immune to these. Start-up companies often experience unexpected problems in the areas of product development, marketing, financing, and general management, among others, which frequently cannot be solved. It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, an unfavourable fluctuation in the value of cryptographic and fiat currencies, decrease in the utility of the Tokens due to negative adoption of the Kaito project or ecosystem, the failure of commercial relationships, or intellectual property ownership challenges, Kaito project or ecosystem may no longer be viable to operate and the Company may be dissolved.
S. Risks Arising from Lack of Governance Rights. Because the Tokens confer no governance rights of any kind with respect to the Company, all decisions involving the Company will be made by the Company at its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, decisions to discontinue the operations or development of the Kaito project or ecosystem, to create, distribute and/or sell more Tokens or other Digital Assets for use within Kaito project or ecosystem, or to sell or liquidate the Company. These decisions could adversely affect Kaito project or ecosystem and the Tokens held by the participant.
T. Risks Involving Cloud Storage. As the Airdrop Site and the Airdrop Programme may provide or utilize a decentralized cloud storage service for users and applications, therefore the Airdrop Site and the Airdrop Programme are susceptible to a number of risks related to the storage of data in the cloud. The Airdrop Site and the Airdrop Programme may involve the storage of large amounts of sensitive and/or proprietary information, which may be compromised in the event of a cyberattack or other malicious activity. Similarly, the Airdrop Site and the Airdrop Programme may be interrupted and files may become temporarily unavailable in the event of such an attack or malicious activity. Because users can utilize a variety of hardware and software that may interface with Kaito project and ecosystem, there is the risk that the Airdrop Site and the Airdrop Programme may become unavailable or interrupted based on a failure of interoperability or an inability to integrate these third-party systems and devices that the Company does not control. The risk that the Services may face increasing interruptions and the Kaito project and ecosystem may face additional security vulnerabilities could adversely affect the Kaito project and ecosystem and therefore the future utility of any Tokens held by the Participant.
U. Forking. As parts of the Kaito project or ecosystem may contain open-source components, the Company does not and cannot monopolize the development, marketing, operation or otherwise of Kaito project or ecosystem and the blockchain technologies underlying the Tokens. Any entity may independently develop a patch or upgrade of the source code of the underlying blockchain (or any part thereof) without prior authorization of any other person, and launch the same by deployment on any underlying blockchain network. The acceptance of these patches or upgrades by a sufficient (not necessarily overwhelming) percentage of the Tokens’ holders could result in a "fork" in the network, and consequently two diverging networks will emerge and remain. Each branch arising from the fork will have its own native cryptographic tokens – accordingly there may be two different versions of the Tokens respectively residing in the two divergent branches with almost identical technical features and functions. The tokens on the diverging network will not be considered as the Tokens.
Further, it is theoretically possible for each branch of the forked blockchain to be further forked an unlimited number of times. The temporary or permanent existence of forked blockchains could adversely affect the operation of the Kaito project and ecosystem and underlying blockchain and the Tokens held by the participant, and may ruin the sustainability of the Kaito project and ecosystem.
V. Risks associated with a lack of markets for the Tokens. There is no prior market for the Tokens and the distribution, airdropping or sale of the Tokens may not result in an active or liquid market for the Tokens. The Tokens are designed to be utilized solely within the Kaito project and ecosystem, hence there may be illiquidity risk with respect to the Tokens held by the participant. The Tokens are not a currency issued by any central bank or national, supra-national or quasi-national organization, nor is it backed by any hard assets or other credit nor is it a "commodity" in the usual and traditional sense of that word. The Company is not responsible for, nor does the Company pursue, the circulation and trading of the Tokens on any market. Trading of the Tokens will merely depend on the consensus on its value between the relevant market participants. No one is obliged to purchase any Tokens from any holder of the Tokens, nor does anyone guarantee the liquidity or market price of the Tokens to any extent at any time. Furthermore, the Tokens may not be resold to a purchaser who is a Prohibited Person or to purchasers where the purchase of such Tokens may be in violation of applicable laws. Accordingly, the Company cannot ensure that there will be any demand or market for the Tokens.
Even if secondary trading of the Tokens is facilitated by third party exchanges, such exchanges may be relatively new and subject to little or no regulatory oversight, making them more susceptible to fraud or manipulation. Furthermore, to the extent that third parties do ascribe an external exchange value to the Tokens (e.g., as denominated in a digital or fiat currency), such value may be extremely volatile and/or diminish to zero. The Company has no oversight nor control over such secondary trading.
W. Inflation. Due to the nature and operation of blockchain protocols, the total amount of circulating Tokens could increase through the adoption of a new patch or upgrade of the source code. Any inflation in the quantity of the Tokens could adversely affect the market price of the Tokens, and consequently buyers may suffer economic losses. Neither the Company provides any guarantee that a participant would be compensated (in any manner) for such inflation.
8. Third-Party Providers And Services
A. The platform for claiming the tokens through this Airdrop Programme may be facilitated or conducted by, or contain software or services provided by, or links to, third-party services (“Third-Party Service”).

16. Dispute Resolution
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT OR TO PURSUE CLAIMS IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY
A. Applicability of this Dispute Resolution Policy. This binding individual arbitration section will not apply to the extent prohibited by the laws of your country of residence. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you and the Company agree to submit all Disputes between us to individual, binding arbitration. A “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy (except those specifically exempted below) between you and the Company that relates to any aspect of our relationship, including, without limitation, your use or attempted use of the Airdrop Site or your participation in the Airdrop Programme, and all marketing related to them, any licensed content, and all matters arising under these Airdrop Terms, the Company’s Privacy Policy, or any other agreement between you and the Company, including the validity and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate. A Dispute shall be subject to binding, individual arbitration regardless of whether it is based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory. This includes claims that accrued before you entered into these Airdrop Terms. You understand that there is no judge or jury in arbitration and that court review of an arbitration award is limited.
B. Informal Negotiation Period. In an effort to accelerate resolution and reduce the cost of any Dispute related to, or arising out of, these Airdrop Terms, you and the Company agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except as set out in Section 16.F. below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before either party initiates any arbitration or court proceeding. Notice must be provided within one (1) year of the Dispute having arisen, but in no event after the date on which the initiation of legal proceedings would have been barred under the applicable statute of limitations. The failure to provide timely notice shall bar all claims.
i. Negotiations will begin upon receipt of written notice by the party raising the Dispute. The Company will send its notice to your e-mail address or otherwise contact you via the registered telephone number that you have provided to us.
ii. You will send your notice to the Company at Keyway Chambers, 3rd Floor, Quastisky Building, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.
C. Binding Arbitration. If a Dispute cannot be resolved through negotiations, either you or the Company may elect to have the Dispute finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. The provision by you of a notice to the Company, containing all of the information referenced above, and your good-faith participation in the Informal Negotiation Period, are prerequisites to commencing arbitration.
i. Any dispute as to any matter arising under, out of or in connection with this Agreement (including but not limited to any question regarding its existence, validity or termination) shall be referred to and finally and exclusively determined by arbitration in the British Virgin Islands at the International Arbitration Centre of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI IAC”) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the BVI IAC for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Clause. The Tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator to be appointed by the Chairman (or equivalent position) of the BVI IAC. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The award by the arbitrator shall be valid, final and binding on each of the Parties. The Parties shall have the right to seek interim injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, both before and after the arbitrator has been appointed, at any time up until the arbitrator has made its final award. The Parties undertake to carry out any award without delay and waive their right to any form of recourse insofar as such waiver can validly be made. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. You and the Company shall be responsible for their respective attorneys’ fees and expenses.
ii. THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS DESCRIBED HEREIN WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. The arbitrator may not consolidate disputes against the Company by other individuals or entities unless the Company expressly consents to such consolidation. These Airdrop Terms provide no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated, adjudicated, or resolved through proceedings on a class or representative basis or using class action procedures. The arbitrator may award any relief that is permitted by applicable law with respect to your individual claim, but to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, may not award relief against the Company respecting any person other than you.
D. Class and Collective Action Waiver. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you and the Company agree that neither you nor the Company may participate as a class representative, private attorney general, or as a member of any class of claimants for any Dispute subject to arbitration or for any non-arbitrable claim pursued in court. The arbitrator and any court shall construe the agreement to arbitrate and the agreement to waive class or collective actions in any manner that will render them enforceable and give them effect. If, for any reason, this class or collective action waiver is deemed unenforceable by a court or arbitrator, you agree that the parties’ contract to arbitrate is then entirely void. If any portion of these Airdrop Terms other than the class action waiver is found illegal or unenforceable, such portion shall be severed and the remainder of these Airdrop Terms shall be given full force and effect. Any Dispute subject to any such portion of these Airdrop Terms shall be decided by the arbitrator.
E. Governing Law. Unless these Airdrop Terms include express language to the contrary, all Disputes shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands without regard to choice of law principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. This paragraph will be interpreted as broadly as applicable law permits.
F. Exceptions to Negotiations and Arbitration. You and the Company agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration:
i. any Dispute seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the Company’s intellectual property rights;
ii. any Dispute related to, or arising from, claims that the other party has committed piracy;
iii. individual actions duly filed in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction on a non-representative basis; any claim within the jurisdictional limits of the small claims courts;
iv. enforcement actions pursued through a governmental agency if permitted by applicable law;
v. the Company’s right to seek injunctive relief to preserve the status quo pending or during an arbitration.
Claims excluded from arbitration under this section are subject to the choice of law, forum selection, and jury waiver clauses set forth in these Airdrop Terms.

The Platform aggregates and publishes publicly available information relating to the blockchain and Digital Assets in a manner and format which we feel is easy to read and understand. Such information is also independently available from other sources—for example, a person may directly review transaction history, wallet activity or wallet / account balances and on a blockchain explorer. In providing information about Digital Assets, the Platform associates or presumes the association of a relevant Digital Asset’s name, ticker, symbol or logo with a specific smart contract deployed to one or more blockchain systems. In making such associations, the Platform relies upon third-party resources which may not be accurate or may not conform to a given User’s expectations. Multiple smart contracts can utilize the same Digital Asset name, ticker. logo or symbol as one another, meaning that the name, ticker, logo or symbol of a Digital Asset does not guarantee that it is the token desired by the User or generally associated with such name, ticker, logo or symbol. Users must not rely on the name, symbol, ticker or branding of a Digital Asset on the Platform, but instead must perform your own due diligence and research, including without limitation, examining the specific smart contract associated with the name, symbol, ticker or branding and confirm that the relevant Digital Asset accords with User’s expectations. Such information shall not be considered or construed as financial advice, investment advice, tax advice, legal advice, or any other sort of advice. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the fairness, accuracy, timeliness, quality, origin, ownership or completeness of the information made available on this Platform, and is provided only for general informative purposes, and no reliance should be placed on it. The Company shall not be responsible or liable to you for any use of, or reliance placed on, the information relating to Digital Assets. We shall not be liable for any errors, misrepresentations, or omissions in, of, and about, the information, nor for the availability of the information.

Progress Tracking is provided for your information and entertainment only, and shall not be deemed as having any intrinsic value or entitling you to any reward, status or benefit. Such Progress Tracking may be reset regularly, and changes in the server status (such as server maintenance or server refreshes) may result in your Progress Tracking being reset, unsaved or lost.

xi. The Digital Asset industry is subject to systemic and systematic risk. Systemic and systematic risks are both threats to the Digital Asset markets and economy, but the cause of these risks and the approaches for managing them are different. Systemic risk is the risk that a company or industry-level risk could trigger a major collapse. Systematic risk is the risk inherent to the entire market, which can be economic, sociopolitical, technological, or natural in origin. These risks can affect the prices of Digital Assets.

15. Dispute Resolution. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT OR TO PURSUE CLAIMS IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY
A. APPLICABILITY OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY. This binding individual arbitration section will not apply to the extent prohibited by the laws of your country of residence. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you and the Company agree to submit all Disputes between us to individual, binding arbitration. A “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy (except those specifically exempted below) between you and the Company that relates to any aspect of our relationship, including, without limitation, your use or attempted use of the Platform (including any Service or Content made available thereon), and all marketing related to them, any licensed content, and all matters arising under these Terms, the Company’s Privacy Policy, or any other agreement between you and the Company, including the validity and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate. A Dispute shall be subject to binding, individual arbitration regardless of whether it is based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory. This includes claims that accrued before you entered into these Terms. You understand that there is no judge or jury in arbitration and that court review of an arbitration award is limited.
B. INFORMAL NEGOTIATION PERIOD. In an effort to accelerate resolution and reduce the cost of any Dispute related to, or arising out of, these Terms, you and the Company agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except as set out in Section 15.F. below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before either party initiates any arbitration or court proceeding. Notice must be provided within one (1) year of the Dispute having arisen, but in no event after the date on which the initiation of legal proceedings would have been barred under the applicable statute of limitations. The failure to provide timely notice shall bar all claims.
i. Negotiations will begin upon receipt of written notice by the party raising the Dispute. The Company will send its notice to your e-mail address or otherwise contact you via the registered telephone number that you have provided to us.
ii. You will send your notice to the Company at [email protected].
C. BINDING ARBITRATION. If a Dispute cannot be resolved through negotiations, either you or the Company may elect to have the Dispute finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. The provision by you of a notice to the Company, containing all of the information referenced above, and your good-faith participation in the Informal Negotiation Period, are prerequisites to commencing arbitration.
i. Any dispute as to any matter arising under, out of or in connection with this Agreement (including but not limited to any question regarding its existence, validity or termination) shall be referred to and finally and exclusively determined by arbitration in Panama at the Arbitration and Settlement Centre of Panama (“CECAP”) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the CECAP for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Clause. The Tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator to be appointed by the Chairman (or equivalent position) of the CECAP. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The award by the arbitrator shall be valid, final and binding on each of the Parties. The Parties shall have the right to seek interim injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, both before and after the arbitrator has been appointed, at any time up until the arbitrator has made its final award. The Parties undertake to carry out any award without delay and waive their right to any form of recourse insofar as such waiver can validly be made. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. You and the Company shall be responsible for their respective attorneys’ fees and expenses.
ii. THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS DESCRIBED HEREIN WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. The arbitrator may not consolidate disputes against the Company by other individuals or entities unless the Company expressly consents to such consolidation. These Terms provide no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated, adjudicated, or resolved through proceedings on a class or representative basis or using class action procedures. The arbitrator may award any relief that is permitted by applicable law with respect to your individual claim, but to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, may not award relief against the Company respecting any person other than you.
D. CLASS AND COLLECTIVE ACTION WAIVER. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you and the Company agree that neither you nor the Company may participate as a class representative, private attorney general, or as a member of any class of claimants for any Dispute subject to arbitration or for any non-arbitrable claim pursued in court. The arbitrator and any court shall construe the agreement to arbitrate and the agreement to waive class or collective actions in any manner that will render them enforceable and give them effect. If, for any reason, this class or collective action waiver is deemed unenforceable by a court or arbitrator, you agree that the parties’ contract to arbitrate is then entirely void. If any portion of these Terms other than the class action waiver is found illegal or unenforceable, such portion shall be severed and the remainder of these Terms shall be given full force and effect. Any Dispute subject to any such portion of these Terms shall be decided by the arbitrator.
E. GOVERNING LAW. Unless these Terms include express language to the contrary, all Disputes shall be governed by and construed under the laws of Panama without regard to choice of law principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. This paragraph will be interpreted as broadly as applicable law permits.
F. EXCEPTIONS TO NEGOTIATIONS AND ARBITRATION. You and the Company agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration:
i. any Dispute seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the Company’s intellectual property rights;
ii. any Dispute related to, or arising from, claims that the other party has committed piracy;
iii. individual actions duly filed in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction on a non-representative basis; any claim within the jurisdictional limits of the small claims courts;
iv. enforcement actions pursued through a governmental agency if permitted by applicable law;
v. the Company’s right to seek injunctive relief to preserve the status quo pending or during an arbitration.

The InfoFi network enabled by Kaito will involve four key participants:
Creators: Producers of content.
Users: Average users who consume and engage with the content.
Brands: Entities seeking targeted engagement and influence to promote their offerings.
Network/Platforms: The InfoFi network, functioning as the decentralized counterpart to traditional tech platforms (eg 𝕏, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok).
Here is a comparison of how each of the four categories of participants differs in the traditional model vs new Kaito Network:
Creators
Receive small payout
Fairer payout given power rebalance and network ownership
Users
Get zero economic value
Get rewarded through correcting market inefficiencies in the attention distribution process
Brands
Pay a premium for middlemen with uncertain ROI
Pay a transparent fee and rewards creators based on impact
Network/Platforms
Centralized platforms control the algorithm that distributes attention, and thus hoard the lion share of the value
Decentralized InfoFi network relies on market forces, and thus distributes value across all participants
Yapper Leaderboard is a public leaderboard that tracks and ranks the contributions and influence of creators in real-time for any specific brand or topic.
It incentivises public participation in content creation, leveling the playing field for anyone to participate.
It activates community engagement in a competitive yet fun and gamified environment.
It enables a more sophisticated assessment of attribution, specifically identifying which creators drive how much mindshare for the brand.
It allows everyone — both within and outside the community — to quickly identify high-quality creators who are important for any specific brand or topic.

56.67% of $KAITO is devoted to Community & Ecosystem.
Of that, 19.5% will go towards initial and long term community airdrops and incentives.
32.2% Ecosystem & Network Growth – Dedicated to fuelling ecosystem expansion through grants, marketing, incentives, and other initiatives that drive sustained adoption and innovation.
2% Binance Hodler – Allocated to strengthen strategic partnerships between the Binance and Kaito communities.
10% Initial Community & Ecosystem Claim – Designed to recognize and reward our early community members and ecosystem partners.
7.5% Long-term Creator Incentives – Reserved for rewarding creators over the long-term, initially on X and eventually across other platforms.
5% Liquidity Incentives – Allocated for staking and liquidity incentives.
10% Foundation – Ensures the sustainable development and long-term growth of the Foundation.
25% Core Contributors – Reserved for Kaito's core contributors.
8.3% Early Backers – Allocated to Kaito’s early investors.
This allocation includes the initial Kaito Yapper community, Genesis NFT holders, and ecosystem yappers and partners.
Our overall approach is guided by two key principles:
Rewarding alignment: Distributing $KAITO to those who are most aligned with the Kaito community and most likely to actively participate in our InfoFi roadmap over the long term.
Maintaining a merit-based system while ensuring fairness and equity to the best of our ability.
Under these principles, we have gone beyond simply counting total yaps. Instead, we have conducted a comprehensive AI-powered analysis to assess a large number of factors, including Kaito value alignment, long-term loyalty, ecosystem participation, Kaito Connect governance involvement, regional and emerging yappers, onchain reputation, and more.
Key Evaluation Factors
Yaps: Represents tokenized attention, serving as proof-of-work, proof-of-engagement, and proof-of-insight.
Kaito value alignment: This includes all public discussions about Kaito, analyzed and quantified into an alignment score based on our core values and mission.
Kaito long-term loyalty: This measures discussions and engagements before the launch of Kaito Yaps, evaluating impact and consistency over the past 3 years to reflect genuine commitment to the Kaito ecosystem.
Overall Kaito ecosystem participation: This identifies supporters who are active in both Kaito Pro and Kaito Yaps.
Governance participation: Recognizing active involvement in Yapper Launchpad voting.
Regional yappers: Acknowledging the diversity of our community across different geographies.
Emerging yappers: Encouraging rising voices and creators to thrive within the Kaito ecosystem.
Onchain reputation: Recognizing meaningful onchain activity, reputation, and Genesis NFT holding period.
Broadening Participation & Recognition
While the Yaps system is intentionally designed with a social reputation threshold, we recognize the collective contributions of the broader yapper community. Therefore, we have decided to reward not only those with Yaps but also a much wider community base that meets certain thresholds for either social reputation or ecosystem participation.
For Kaito Pro users, in addition to rewarding those with crossover engagement in the Yaps ecosystem, we will allocate a separate initiative within the Ecosystem and Network Growth allocation. This will incentivize all Kaito Pro users to actively contribute to building the InfoFi future. We believe there is immense synergy in integrating these two ecosystems into a cohesive whole.
We have also set aside an allocation for ecosystem partners, who have been early adopters of the Yapper Leaderboard and Yapper Launchpad ecosystem (e.g., Berachain, MegaETH, Story Protocol, Anime, Corn, etc.). We will collaborate with relevant teams on distribution, ensuring that these rewards are explicitly allocated to end users.
Creators form the backbone of the attention economy, and this allocation is designed to foster sustained, high-quality content creation while attracting new creators to the network over time. By rewarding those who spark meaningful discussions, we aim to support the creator community and reinforce the value of truly impactful contributions within the network.
This allocation is designated to fund grants, marketing, incentives, and other initiatives that drive sustained adoption and innovation. We encourage a wide range of collaborative endeavours that enrich the InfoFi ecosystem.
Allocated to strengthen strategic partnerships between the Binance and Kaito communities.
This allocation is designed to incentivize both staking activities and liquidity provision. Staking ensures long-term alignment with the network and active participation in the InfoFi ecosystem, as voting rights are derived from staked $KAITO. Meanwhile, liquidity provision supports a healthy and vibrant market for $KAITO.
The Kaito Foundation allocation is dedicated to driving core platform development, governance research, and strategic initiatives that are necessary for the Kaito ecosystem. This helps safeguard the network’s future and ensures that core operations remain fully supported.
This allocation recognizes those who built the foundations of Kaito and brought the ecosystem to where it is today, as well as driving the sustained growth of the network tomorrow. Vesting schedules ensure the core contributors remain aligned with Kaito’s vision over the long term, maintaining a steadfast commitment to building a shared network for creators, users and brands.
This allocation is provided to our early backers, including our Seed and Series A investors, who were invaluable in providing financial commitment and strategic guidance since the early days of Kaito. Vesting schedules ensure the early backers remain aligned with Kaito's vision over the long term and continue to provide their support in building out the future of InfoFi.

If your account on X was deactivated or suspended at the time of claim, you can reach out to the Kaito team and we will work with you to ensure your eligibility is properly accounted for.
Consideration for AI Agents' allocation
AI agents' allocation will be reserved for governance voting after the claim period (~30 days). The Kaito community has previously expressed differing views on this matter, so we would like to put it to a vote. This approach ensures that the allocation aligns with the broader goals of the Kaito ecosystem. Governance will determine whether and how these funds should be distributed.
