kaito’s rewards journey mirrors traditional airdrops

first airdrops were a pleasant surprise where you found money in your wallet for your natural use of a protocol

then protocols realised they could farm users more with points

+ then there were more strings attached with various formal tx/capital/social requirements

kaito has just passed stage 1 where people realised omg i can really just yapp and that’s worth something (no stress no friction - like the first style of airdrop)

now protocols realise people will WORK for their yaps - and so we have increased % token supply going to yappers in exchange for larger contributions (not everyone has done this, but have seen some create more hoops to jump through and think will more will do same)

that being said i think the organic option is the best: don’t farm the farmers; just rewards the quality creators

infinex was the first i think to add a manual review layer to the process, and i think more will do the same

even if we’re in the stage where the yapper reward system is maturing to require creators to give a bit more than just pure yapps, that corresponds with protocols being happy to disproportionately reward yappers right now

so we have a yappers feast - and even if it is never as good as this again, it’ll never go away now so it’s a beautiful additional game to play
