Our Capital Launchpad is live, with our very first Initial Community Offering starting tomorrow with @espressoFNDN! ☕️ Espresso is the base layer for rollups: unlocking real-time finality, crosschain composability, and Ethereum compatibility to power the multichain future. Previous investments supporting Espresso technology totaled $50M+ and saw backing from @a16zcrypto, @ElectricCapital, @GreylockVC, @sequoia and others. Full details on the round are now available on the Capital Launchpad portal: a first-of-its-kind opportunity to participate exclusively available to the Espresso and Kaito communities. You can deposit and pledge for allocation of up to $100,000 of $ESP tokens starting at 12PM UTC tomorrow. Final allocations will be determined by the Espresso Foundation. For all future raises on Kaito, including Espresso - make sure to head over to the Capital Launchpad tab today on Yaps to complete the relevant steps including KYC to make sure you don't miss out. And for Espresso NFT holders, make sure to connect the wallet containing your Composable 👀 Note: Geographic eligibility is determined on a project-by-project basis. For the Espresso sale, participation is not available to U.S. persons and persons located in the U.S. and certain other restricted jurisdictions.

Introducing the next stage of Kaito - our Capital Launchpad. A natural progression of our mission to be the distribution powerhouse of crypto. With the most in-depth social mapping and ranking across CT, and leading data analytics when it comes to project-community interactions, the next step is to further connect the two through capital - linking onchain and offchain for the most comprehensive social footprint. Later this week - the platform will go live, building a new way for projects to raise and embed communities through capital alignment - in a way that's open, meritocratic and relevance-based - as an alternative to the FCFS model. Oh and, all Capital Launchpad fees are distributed back to the wider community - more on that with our upcoming gKAITO mechanism soon 👀 A community launchpad, for the community, owned by the community. Allocations will be determined by projects, based on factors such as social reputation, onchain holdings (not only Kaito holdings), historical alignment/relevance to the project and its relevant sectors, region, conviction, and more. Projects will also set out clear round terms - valuation, raise target, vesting terms - and you'll be able to make a decision and place a deposit to pledge, based on these on how much you want to allocate. The pledges will then be reviewed by the project teams, who then assign for the Preferred Phase of the allocation, with a subsequent (optional) FCFS Phase if there is any allocation remaining. We're really excited for this next chapter of Kaito - opening up new ways for all of you to allocate to top community-centric projects, as well as giving projects a new way to bootstrap, interact, align and involve existing and potential community members. Tomorrow you’ll be able to get your account ready and KYC to be able to start participating. Not long to wait.

Announcing some big upcoming improvements to Yapper Leaderboards and the introduction of the gKAITO mechanism. These are built based on feedback we've seen across CT and our community to ensure sustainability, less noise, and improved quality for both users and projects. We’ll be rolling out both the updates, and the gKAITO mechanism over the next few weeks. Updates coming to Yapper Leaderboards: Introducing a reputation threshold across all YLs, measured in Yaps/Smart Followers/CT mindshare to ensure real accounts rank, to prevent AI bots, and to focus more on signal over grinding. - There will still be a dedicated section to highlight consistent, loyal, high-quality contributions across all accounts - More focus will be on growing a genuine audience and presence first as we’ve seen with various initially small accounts, which have grown significantly over time utilizing Kaito - Emphasizing interests and alignment instead of rewards to help both farmers and genuine community members - Restructuring leaderboards from a pre-/post-TGE format into category-based groupings - Building a culture of retroactive, milestone-based, and ROI-driven rewards for better provable results and more focus on genuine interest - Adding public topic leaderboards (eg stablecoin, RWA, ZK, AI) to recognize thought leaders - no direct rewards - just recognition and perks - Implementing an improved global slashing mechanism to combat misinformation, engagement farming, group farming, and low-effort AI slops Introducing the gKAITO mechanism. gKAITO as a mechanism will be built around five core pillars: Thought Leadership, Attention, Participation, Ownership, and Culture. It's designed to recognize meaningful contributions from a diverse set of stakeholders - both the Kaito ecosystem and the broader crypto space. - Thought Leadership: For those who contribute meaningfully to broader crypto conversations (Yaps) and the emerging field of InfoFi. - Attention: For those who bring new audiences to Kaito and actively evangelize the ecosystem. - Participation: For those engaged in the Kaito ecosystem - ecosystem yappers, Capital Launchpad participants, and more. - Ownership: For holders of sKAITO and certain related derivatives - Culture: For Yapybara holders and pfp users, Kaito culture builders, and active community participants gKAITO Utilities - Earn a share of platform fees - Get priority access to deals - Signal alignment with partner projects within the Kaito ecosystem - Access priority features on Kaito We’ll be sharing more details on the gKAITO mechanism as we get closer to its launch - including involvement of onchain alignment too.
