Kaito: An AI-Powered InfoFi Platform for the Crypto Ecosystem

Kaito's AI-powered platform aims to make navigating the complex crypto ecosystem easier by organizing, analyzing, and delivering relevant insights from multiple sources.

Kaito is a distribution platform powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and designed specifically for crypto and Web3. It facilitates the transfer of information, attention, and capital. 

If you imagine the world of crypto as a vast library spread across the internet, where information is both abundant and scattered, then Kaito intends to act like an AI-powered librarian. It not only hopes to find everything relevant for a user but also to understand the context and connections behind it. 

This may allow users to access the most relevant and valuable insights quickly, saving them from endless searching. 

Having launched features like Kaito Pro and Kaito Connect and expanded its token network to accommodate other applications, Kaito aims to be a cross-platform Information Finance (InfoFi) layer that can transparently connect brands, users, and creators in a decentralized environment. 

How Kaito Works

Information Finance (InfoFi)

To understand Kaito and how it functions, it’s important to understand Information Finance (InfoFi), which is a model that treats information itself as a financial instrument.

InfoFi examines the value of information, its trading mechanisms, and its potential to create innovative economic models, with an emphasis on decentralization, transparency, and user ownership of data. 

Kaito operates within this emerging sector with the aim of  developing a transparent and decentralized ecosystem of InfoFi. 

Kaito Pro

Kaito Pro is a specialized AI-powered search engine tailored for the crypto sector. It collects data from thousands of sources, including social media, governance boards, research papers, news platforms, podcasts, and conference transcripts.

Kaito Pro can streamline access to actionable crypto insights via its proprietary search algorithms, large language model (LLM) capabilities, and real-time analytics.

Core Features of Kaito Pro:

Indexing: Aggregates data from a vast range of public sources.

Real-time intelligence: Ensures continuously updated datasets.

Comprehensive features: Includes MetaSearch, Sentiment Analytics, Smart Alerts, Dashboards, Token Mindshare, Narrative Mindshare, Catalyst Calendar, Audio Library, and an AI Copilot.

Kaito Yaps

Kaito Yaps is a feature that uses AI to analyze social graphs and semantic signals, quantifying attention in a way that goes beyond traditional metrics such as likes and impressions. 

This tokenized attention model supports SocialFi initiatives and reward distribution. SocialFi refers to the intersection of social media and decentralized finance (DeFi), where social interactions and user-generated content can be monetized and governed through blockchain-based systems.

Yaps evaluates content volume, engagement, and insights to provide a more accurate measure of influence.

Yaps: A tokenized attention mechanism.

Yapper Leaderboards: Public dashboards ranking creator contributions and influence.

Yapper Launchpad: A market-driven platform for attention distribution.

Kaito Connect

Kaito Connect is an AI-powered InfoFi network designed to distribute attention and capital more transparently and efficiently. 

Built on the same foundational technology as Kaito Pro, Kaito Connect is focused on information retrieval, knowledge graphs, and analysis. AI is leveraged to analyze market trends and user behavior.

Kaito Connect aims to ensure contributions are rewarded, and value is appropriately placed. Its core values include fairness, transparency, and efficiency. Its core pillars are Yaps, Yapper Leaderboards, and Yapper Launchpad.

The key participants that Kaito Connect engages with are creators, users, brands, and networks. It aims to provide fairer payouts for creators, incentivize user participation, and offer transparent fees and impact-based rewards for brands.

Tokenomics

KAITO is the native token of the Kaito ecosystem, powering market incentives, functioning as the network currency, and enabling governance:

Driving market forces: KAITO owners have a say in the network's direction. They can intervene to shape how the AI-driven InfoFi ecosystem distributes attention. 

Currency: KAITO is the native medium of exchange of the Kaito ecosystem that facilitates interactions and transactions. 

Governance: Users who hold KAITO can propose, vote on the proposals, and implement major updates to the protocol and related algorithms. 

The initial distribution of KAITO tokens:

The Initial Community and Ecosystem Claim allocations aim to ensure fairness through a merit-based approach, considering factors such as Yaps participation, alignment with Kaito’s vision, long-term loyalty, ecosystem engagement, and governance involvement. 

The allocations for Long-Term Creator Incentives support content creation, while Ecosystem & Network Growth funds initiatives that drive adoption. Binance HODLer allocations strengthen partnerships, Liquidity Incentives promote staking, and Foundation funds support platform development and governance research.

Core Contributors and Early Backers are rewarded for their past efforts and commitment to Kaito’s long-term vision.
