Kaito is the interoperable AI-powered InfoFi layer that operates on top of the internet’s walled gardens, seamlessly connecting creators, users, and brands in a fundamentally new way.
$KAITO is the native token and the fundamental building block of the AI-powered InfoFi network. It plays several key roles:
Driving Market Forces: $KAITO holders actively participate in shaping the network by influencing the distribution of attention within the AI-powered InfoFi ecosystem.
Network Currency: $KAITO functions as the primary medium of exchange within the Kaito ecosystem, facilitating seamless transactions and interactions.
Community Governance: $KAITO enables decentralized decision-making, allowing token holders to propose, vote on, and implement key protocol and algorithm changes. This governance mechanism ensures that the network evolves in alignment with its community’s interests, fostering a transparent and efficient AI-powered InfoFi ecosystem.
Today, Kaito is the distribution center of crypto, where information, attention, and capital move seamlessly - powered by AI.
Kaito has developed three products with product-market fit:
Kaito Pro is the leading AI-powered market intelligence platform
Kaito Yaps leverages advanced AI algorithms to tokenize attention
Kaito Connect is the InfoFi network that enables the market to distribute attention and capital in a fairer, more transparent and more efficient way, while rewarding all participants
The project has raised 11.78MM USD from three rounds of private token sales, where 8.33% of the KAITO total token supply has been sold at 0.100 USD / KAITO, 0.100 USD / KAITO and 0.271 USD / KAITO.
As at February 20th 2025, the total supply of KAITO is 1,000,000,000 and the circulating supply upon listing will be 241,388,889 (~24.14% of the total token supply.)

1. What is KAITO?
Project Overview
Kaito is the distribution center of crypto, where information, attention, and capital move seamlessly — powered by AI.
Within crypto, Kaito has developed three products with product-market fit and is currently leveraging $KAITO to scale the InfoFi network. Kaito Pro, Kaito Yaps, and Kaito Connect have all reached profitability.
In the future, Kaito is becoming the interoperable InfoFi layer that operates on top of the internet’s walled gardens, connecting creators, users, and brands in a fundamentally new way.
Project Mission
Kaito’s mission is to empower all market participants — creators, users, and brands — by creating a fairer, more transparent and more efficient attention economy
Project Value Proposition
Historically the distribution of attention is, at best, inefficient, and, at worst, deeply unfair. Platforms not only hoard the majority of the value but also dictate the flow of attention and value without accountability or transparency, given a significant power imbalance.
Kaito believes an InfoFi network will be fairer and more efficient by allowing market forces to determine where attention should flow.
Kaito further combines AI with InfoFi to solve the long-tail problem. By leveraging AI to tokenize the hard-to-quantify, it provides valuable reference points that enable the efficient formation of markets.
Project Key Highlights
Innovation: The pioneering project developing the first AI-powered InfoFi of its kind.
Fundamental Utility: Kaito Pro has been adopted by over 600 crypto teams since 2023, while Kaito Yaps and Kaito Connect serve more than 400,000 retail users since launching in December 2024.
Product-Market Fit: Kaito Pro, Kaito Yaps, and Kaito Connect have all achieved profitability.
Existing Products
Kaito Pro (link): Kaito Pro is an AI-powered market intelligence platform dedicated to crypto — an essential tool for navigating the industry’s fragmented, fast-evolving information landscape.
Today, Kaito Pro is used by 600+ crypto teams including the Ethereum Foundation, Solana Foundation, Optimism, Arbitrum, Eigenlayer, Berachain, Monad, MegaETH, Grayscale, Pantera and many more.
Yaps & Yapper Leaderboards (link): tokenized attention. Yaps incentivizes high-quality contributions and fosters genuine engagement by rewarding users who produce and curate valuable content. Yaps is complemented by Yapper Leaderboard, which provides projects with valuable market intelligence to systematically uncover and reward a broader set of active and real community contributors.
As of February 2025, Yaps has reached >400k cumulative registrations and >300k MAU
Kaito Connect (link): AI-powered InfoFi network. It aims to utilize 1) advanced AI algorithms, and 2) market forces (ie InfoFi), to redistribute attention and capital more efficiently while rewarding all market participants. It is built on the same underlying architecture of Kaito Pro that the team spent the past three years building.
Due to significant demand to launch Yapper leaderboards, Kaito has launched Yapper Launchpad, a platform for the community (Kaito Yappers and Kaito Holders) to vote and decide which Yapper Leaderboards to launch next
