Future projects MUST study this to survive.
The most overlooked aspect of Kaito: that yaps are neutral.
This alone makes Kaito different than 99% of other InfoFi projects.

By building Kaito this way, they actually created a funnel.
A funnel that drew in organic creators: creators who just wanted to be themselves, have fun, climb a leaderboard, and not worry about shilling anything.
Yes, I'm aware that Kaito also attracted farmers who exclusively want to shill and earn rewards.
But ask yourself this: How did Kaito managed to onboard not only these farmers?
How did they also onboard top minds in crypto like @waleswoosh @beast_ico ?
Answer: It's the neutral yap model.
Personally, I LOVE that I can talk freely about any project I want and still earn yaps.
I love that I can climb a leaderboard based on more meaningful metrics than likes and impressions.
I love that I connect with other creators doing the same.
I loved that I could earn the Kaito airdrop without even talking about Kaito (Imagine that).
Kaito found a way to make organic quality creators feel at home. (While also giving them a chance to farm pretty amazing rewards in a transparent manner.)
Other projects would be smart to study this.
