Kaito's Self Evolution: From Attention Tool to Monetization Platform I saw Kaito's major update article about Connect very early yesterday, and I wanted to write about it but couldn't figure it out before writing. Today, I will give you a rough analysis, which may not be correct. Please feel free to ask @ Punk9277 for correction. Let's start with the question: Kaito's popularity reached its peak before and after the Chinese New Year, especially after the launch of Connect. Many projects even resorted to bribery in order to obtain listing qualifications, which is quite reminiscent of Binance voting and listing. But as more and more projects frequently and intensively enter Pre TGE, the value of this vote quickly drops sharply, and project parties have even less motivation to provide benefits to Yappers who only press the voting button. At least you have a little brand promotion effect after writing an article. What's the use of just voting? So the bridge between Yap points and earnings is becoming increasingly thin, and the slogan Yap=Currency is also being questioned more, I personally think that the decline in Kaito's coin price is closely related to this issue. Kaito remains one of the most practical tools in the current cryptocurrency ecosystem, with a large number of KOLs around the waist being seen every day conducting PR airdrops for farm project TGE through writing articles. I still open Kaito several times a day to search for noteworthy projects and treasure bloggers through Mindshare. But reality is cruel: Those who hold Kaito or pledge NFTs, their assets are shrinking. So @ KaitoAI must complete the commercial update as soon as possible, otherwise it will become the next common example of "tools are useful, but coins are not valuable". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have roughly summarized the update on Conncet this time, mainly including: Yap upgraded from "voting for coins" to "alignment signal" Yaps (points) will not only be used for voting in the future, but can also point to specific projects as a public signal of 'who do I support'. Compared to short-term Yap Pre TGE, what the project team needs more is to find KOLs with long-term loyalty -Corresponding projects will receive higher Mindshare acceleration points; -For users, it is a way to "bet" on early projects they are optimistic about. -If the pointed project participates in Kaito's future revenue scenarios such as Launchpad, users can participate in profit sharing; -SKAITO=Revenue Participation Voucher+Loyalty Seal For users: • Clearer returns: Originally, voting was just an expression of emotions, but now Yap and sKAITO are used as "value bets"; Binding incentives: Even if you are not the largest funder, as long as you continue to support a project, you can still benefit from its success; NFT Bonus: Genesis NFTs can also increase the return efficiency after binding (mindshare&double revenue). For the project team: • Better identify 'loyal supporters' rather than users who hit the leaderboard for a while; Can distribute airdrops and activate community reward mechanisms for individuals with high alignment; Create a "loyalty list" for Launchpad filtering to increase the proportion of active users after TGE. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ However, in my opinion, the biggest key to Kaito's evolution lies in: Can we enter the core area of the Crypto industry that will never become outdated - chip distribution/public offering (Capital Launchpad) Simply put: Can you become a conditional public fundraising platform role like the recent Echo of @ CoinList. Compared to them, Kaito has a significant natural advantage in terms of user engagement threshold (loyalty), project preheating (mindshare), and so on. If Yaps and sKatio can be linked to the real gold and silver new user qualification, then the bond will be much stronger. If we can go further and let users use Kaito as a bullet to play new users? Similar to BNB, it's no wonder the price hasn't increased. Yap = Currency / Kaito = Currency This is the key to breaking the deadlock I think @ Punk9277 has figured it out, and @ KaitoAI's entry into Lanuchpad should be a certainty. If there are many people interested, I will write a dedicated analysis later. His post is quite clear, interested yappers can read it: https://(x.com)/Punk9277/status/1909601260690633156 kaitoyaps Kaito
