Backed by Dragonfly, Kaito, an AI research platform powered by TAO

Kaito is a Cryptocurrency research platform that has received funding from well-known venture capitalists such as Dragonfly and Mirana, with a latest valuation reaching 87.5 million USD. Kaito provides customized dashboards, monitoring lists, and organizes information on potential market catalysts in the future (token unlocks, TGE, etc.). It also has a feature to convert audio content such as phone conferences, AMA, podcasts, videos, etc., into text. Although many AI tools can do this, Kaito organizes the content from the perspective of WEB3 and generates summaries.

For example, if I enter to Kaito: Can you summarize the Eigenlayer airdrop FUD and the team's response, and provide a timestamp?

Summary:

Locking and Transfer Restrictions: There have been some comments and criticisms in the community regarding the locking and non-transferability of EIGEN tokens, arguing that these restrictions undermine the utility and immediate value of the tokens, thereby causing dissatisfaction among users.

Response:

The details of each stage of the airdrop have been explained in detail, with the first stage targeting users who participate in staking directly, and the second stage involving users who use Decentralized Finance protocols (i.e. "complex Decentralized Finance users"). This means that the second stage aims to cover user groups that were not initially included.

In response to these criticisms, the team has made efforts to improve communication and address community concerns through various channels.

Official website and blog updates

Eigenlayer's official website and blog have released further clarification on the distribution mechanism and schedule.

These communications emphasize the importance of EIGEN's long-term vision in the Eigenlayer ecosystem, and highlight the core role of tokens in enabling new functionality on the Ethereum layer.

The above is the case shared by Kaito on the official website, and readers can compare the differences with traditional media.

Mind Share Artifact Kaito

But for degen who need to be sensitive to the narrative, Kaito's most powerful feature is the mind share. Simply put, when you think of the Taiwan coin circle media, you will think of Chain News, which means that Chain News has a high mind share in your mind. Or when you look at the investment institutions behind a project, when you see Institution A, you may give extra points to the project, but when you see Institution B, you may have doubts about the project, then the mind share of Institution A will be higher.

When applied to KOLs, the share of thinking may represent the community's credibility towards the KOL, or in simpler terms, that person is more insightful.

In addition, Kaito also provides a narrative rotation function to help users analyze which narrative the funds are flowing into. However, Kaito is currently a paid service, and the price is not cheap. But for crypto veterans who are making a fortune every day, it does save them a lot of effort.

Excluding uninformative content sources, Kaito identifies smart users for you

In December, Kaito launched the Yap points program. Although the official explanation has not been made yet, everyone speculates that it is related to future airdrops. Basically, Yap can be regarded as a free version of the KOL Mind Share interface. In the Web3 world, Twitter's community is full of noise. Kaito helps users filter out MLM content on the Yap page. He identifies whether Twitter users are smart users of good quality, and at the same time marks how many smart followers the account has.

In the share of KOL's thoughts, it can be found that the AI agent aixbt on Base Chain Virtuals still dominates, and others, including Mert, the CEO of Helius on Base Chain Jesse丶Solana, occupy the top three. It also conforms to the fact that Base and Solana are the hottest public chains this year.

At the Yapper Leaderboard, you can select, for example, AI Agent, to view the current market share of AI agents. If I am unfamiliar with a public chain today and want to understand the public chain ecosystem well, I can also obtain information through the Yap interface. For example, by clicking on Berachain, I can find key information sources about Berachain, such as daily coin founder Alvin being one of the top 20 content sources for Berachain.

When scrolling down, you will see the top 100 users in terms of the concept of the public chain. Some of the content may be too difficult for beginners. At this time, you can also choose the source of Causal (easy) or Hardcore (more difficult), which will use AI to determine which part of the information released by the user tends to lean towards.

Another major challenge encountered by content producers is that there are often unscrupulous individuals who indiscriminately copy articles and pretend that they are their own output. Or they use irrelevant copied blogs to attract traffic, and Kaito also uses AI to interpret this part, and users can choose to see original articles or copied articles in the menu. Yap can also view the social networks of savvy users to see which accounts are closely related to this user.

Which VC and pre-launch coin projects are worth looking forward to? Kaito Arena tells you

The Pre-TGE Arena page can show which projects are most anticipated for pending coins, such as Kaito, Monad, Eclipse, Bera, OpenSea, Story, etc. Similarly, we can also check the ideological shares of these VCs in the VC Arena. If these data are true, it will be very helpful for the research of the project.

In addition, the founders of Story Protocol and Movement have also expressed their intention to enter Yap. This may indicate that a trend has begun, and it may become the next Friendtech. Although the outcome is uncertain, it is worth looking forward to.

Kaito Participation Method Revealed! Zero Threshold InfoFi

Currently, participation methods include registering with invitation links on Yap, inviting friends, posting quality content, and interacting with smart users. Kaito also launched a Genesis NFT series and stated that the proceeds from the NFT will be distributed to one thousand Yap users. The mint price is 0.1 ETH, and the current floor price has reached 3.69 ETH. Simply put, holding NFTs and Yap points may be key.

For ordinary users, Yap can filter the source of the news, while KOLs who are deeply involved in the ecosystem have more exposure opportunities. If you can occupy more mindshare through quality content production, you can gain more attention within the ecosystem. If you are interested, you can use the link provided by the author to try Yap. The author believes that compared to TON chain, which also emphasizes zero cost, Yap puts more emphasis on the user's cognitive ability and is more worth participating in, even without airdrops, it can enhance awareness.

This article introduces the point activity Yap launched by the AI-driven research platform Kaito. Will the participation of multiple emerging public chains lead the InfoFi trend? It was first seen on Chain News ABMedia.
