Users simply needed to share content related to partner projects on social media to accumulate Yap Points, which then made them eligible for airdrops from partners like Initia, Wayfinder, and others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kaito\u2019s scoring system uses AI-driven analysis to evaluate content quality, user engagement, and network influence, ensuring that meaningful contributions are properly rewarded. Yap points rely on three key factors: how many posts you make, how much interaction you get (likes, comments, reposts), and how credible you are within the network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many users have reported substantial earnings through the program. One standout case is from the project Wayfinder (PROMPT), users who reached the \u201cemerging yapper\u201d tier (100+ posts) and shared relevant content were rewarded with 5,000\u201320,000 $PROMPT tokens, worth more than $1,500 USD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThank you Kaito, thank you Wayfinder, thank you anonymous upper Korean,\u201d one user humorously posted on X. They also revealed receiving 1,000 tokens from Initia simply for being an active yapper on Kaito, even without having interacted with its testnet.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/initia-price-prediction\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Initial Price Prediction<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of Morpheus (MOR), users who engaged with narrative threads and responded to community-driven prompts earned 3,000-8,000 MOR, depending on their engagement metrics.

However, those hopes quickly gave way to a wave of criticism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many users who received the initial allocation offloaded their tokens quickly, citing unclear long-term value, low immediate utility, and a widening gap between the token\u2019s role and the ecosystem\u2019s most rewarding activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The issues stem not only from the low airdrop allocation (just 10% of total supply) but also from the lack of meaningful utility tied to the token. At the time of TGE, users primarily used KAITO for staking and governance participation through Kaito Connect \u2014 an activity many saw as internal and disconnected from more lucrative opportunities like airdrops and leaderboards that mostly rewarded Yappers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This imbalance didn\u2019t go unnoticed: while Yappers (users who actively post on X to accumulate Yap points) received tokens from projects like Initia, Morpheus, and Wayfinder, those who staked KAITO \u2013 arguably the most committed supporters, received no tangible benefits from simply holding the token.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYappers are making thousands from airdrops, but I\u2019ve held since TGE and haven\u2019t gotten anything,\u201d one Discord user said.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, the current system renders KAITO staking nearly pointless. If all it takes is spamming on X to qualify for airdrops, then why bother holding the token long-term?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lack of utility and the unbalanced reward structure have made it difficult for KAITO\u2019s price to gain sustained traction while also fueling growing skepticism around the platform\u2019s future direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Read more:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/kaito-introduce-kaito-token\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Kaito Introduces $KAITO Token to Revolutionize Attention Economy<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This has prompted the Kaito team to accelerate a major update to Kaito Connect, shifting from traditional voting mechanics to a new \u201calignment signals\u201d model, combining Yap points and sKAITO to rebalance incentives and restore fairness across the ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kaito_Connect_Restructuring_the_Ecosystem\"\/><strong>Kaito Connect: Restructuring the Ecosystem<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response to community feedback, Kaito AI has announced a major overhaul of the Kaito Connect platform.
