A topic outside the scope of Crypto, but I think what is happening in the world is really worrying.
I have spent 6 years here and have seen a lot of panic selling, but if the scenario in the coming days is an all-out war between major countries including the US, I dare not think about what my bag will be like then.
I will still be here as usual, but probably have to be prepared for any situation and not FOMO into anything at the moment.
Yapyo just dropped their Top 1000 Leaderboard but here’s what’s missing:
> They’ve never been officially announced as “Powered by Kaito & Cookie.” > Not by Kaito. Not by Cookie. Not even a quote tweet. > Zero public confirmation. Zero infrastructure alignment.
And yet, here they are mimicking the format, slapping on buzzwords, and running leaderboard campaigns with engagement that looks like 90% clones and bots.
They’re not even showing up on Kaito’s mindshare leaderboard
Remember The P33L? That was the wake-up call. Copying mechanics without understanding the infrastructure or earning the trust behind it only leads one way: collapse.
InfoFi isn’t a gimmick. It’s a new coordination layer built on trust, transparency, and signal.
I support InfoFI. I support founders who get it: → That it’s not just about yaps. → That you can’t fake mindshare. → That integrity compounds more than hype ever will.
But projects like Yapyo? - They don’t innovate. - They imitate. And that’s not how you earn a spot in the next era of onchain reputation.
Powered by Kaito is not a sticker. It’s a system. Earn it or don’t pretend.
There is something I just realized. Any founder who has a project that is interested in CT will immediately receive a wave of positive reviews on Ethos.
I have noticed this in a few cases and the most obvious recently is Ultra and Pons I have not tracked the number of reviews Ultra received after launching Loud but for Pons it is 33+ positive reviews in the last 24 hours.
Of course I have no problem with that but I find it an interesting behavior of the community. When they pay attention to someone they will immediately find a place to talk about them
Maybe Ethos isn’t just a place to rate people. It’s where CT turns attention into reputation in real time.
Reputation here isn’t built slowly anymore. It spikes when attention does.
This unlock kicks off multi-year vesting schedules for these categories:
- 41 months for Ecosystem & Foundation (linear monthly vesting) - 24 months for Creator Incentives (11.1% every 3 months)
So why are people calling it “airdrop 2”?
Because these tokens may fund new user incentives, creator campaigns, or ecosystem rewards similar to how airdrop 1 catalyzed growth.
Also important:
- 1M users milestone was confirmed recently - Team is pivoting focus from creators → to platform-wide users - A potential new investor round appears to be in motion (based on recent Kaito IG story)
This is not a price call.
It’s a key date for anyone watching token supply, unlock dynamics, and platform direction.
Watch August 20. It’s Kaito’s first unlock under the new era.
It’s been about a month of locking in on InfoFi and going deeper into Web3.
I didn’t go viral. I didn’t make crazy numbers. But I showed up every day.
It’s not much compared to the big accounts, but for me, it’s real growth in both content and confidence. Every tweet, every reply, every late-night draft is a step forward.
I’m not just farming. I’m learning how to think sharper, write better, and contribute to the signal not just add to the noise.
My Theory: Xeet’s “Signal > Noise” Strategy Wasn’t a Contradiction. It Was a Trap (and a Genius One)
Disclaimer: This is just my personal hypothesis. I have no inside info from Xeet, just connecting dots.
Xeet’s bio says “Signal > Noise.” Then they launched with one of the noisiest ref games Confusing, right?
But maybe that was the point.
I don’t think the ref campaign was just for growth. I think it was a behavioral test. Give everyone the same link and same rules. See how they play.
Some added context, explained the product, shared real excitement. Others just spammed copy-paste refs with zero signal.
Same game. Different behavior. Clear data on who’s who.
Now Xeet knows: - Who boosts with real influence, not botted numbers - Who kept their rep, even when incentivized to farm - Who added value vs. who chased engagement
Instead of starting clean and hoping to filter for quality later, they launched messy and used the chaos to surface the real signal.
It’s like Proof-of-Signal. Not math puzzles, but social behavior.
And now that Phase 1 is done? I think the real Xeet will emerge shaped by the people who passed the hidden test.
If I’m right, this was one of the smartest SocialFi launches we’ve seen.
I've seen people Yap about P33L for the past 2 weeks but I didn't participate. In essence I believe that the gameplay that Loud has played successfully must include a few factors:
- Who's behind - Who's talking - Community curiosity
And Loud's nature has answered all those questions before. So any project that simply copies and pastes this gameplay will not be successful.
- In the current InfoFI, only Kaito has enough weight - I don't see any Top Tier KOL/Creator mentioning P33L - The community is completely no longer curious about this gameplay
Web3 changes very quickly and everything we are confident in today will no longer be true tomorrow
This is how Chimpers is winning Web3 and why everyone’s paying attention.
Most projects are still minting 10Ks, watching floors, and praying for virality.
Chimpers flipped the model.
They didn’t dilute their NFT supply.
They multiplied their ecosystem.
By launching $15 collectible card packs (instead of another expensive mint), they made the Chimpverse accessible to everyone without hurting OGs.
👉 1 NFT holder = 5+ new card collectors 👉 Every card = story, lore, character, and merch opportunities 👉 Each pack = a low-cost gateway into a premium IP
They turned NFTs into the endgame, not the entry point.
Now?
People fall in love with the pixel monkeys first.
Then choose to graduate into NFTs, merch, games, and more.
All while racking up:

Coinbase’s State of Crypto 2025 report is out. And the takeaway is crystal clear: The future of money isn’t coming. It’s already here. Here’s what the data says 👇
🔹161 million people now hold stablecoins, more than the top 10 cities on Earth combined 🔹1 in 3 small businesses in the US now use crypto (2x from 2024) 🔹60% of Fortune 500 companies are building onchain 🔹$247B in stablecoin supply 🔹$21B in tokenized real-world assets (up 245x in 5 years) 🔹83% of institutional investors are increasing crypto exposure this year 🔹And 76% will invest in tokenized assets by 2026
This isn’t hype or speculation anymore. It’s infrastructure.
Crypto is:
→ Saving businesses money → Solving global payment issues → Creating real revenue streams → Transforming capital markets
But there’s one big blocker: regulation. - 90% of F500 execs want clear US rules - 72% of SMBs would adopt faster with regulatory clarity - US dev share has dropped from 78% to 39% since 2015
Crypto isn’t waiting.
- The rails are being built. - The capital is flowing in. - The world is moving onchain.
The only question now is:
Will your business, your country, your team be part of it or left behind?
