Kaito (KAITO)

Since January 15th, the creator landscape on CT has changed dramatically. After X essentially dropped a nuke on InfoFi platforms, forcing many of them to rethink their entire model. Here’s a quick update on how the top platforms are doing now. 1️⃣ @cookiedotfun They probably took the biggest hit. The platform essentially shut down and restricted user access, which removed most of the creator activity that originally drove it. Right now their X page feels more like a data hub, occasionally sharing analytics while hinting at a potential comeback. But the original creator momentum has clearly disappeared. 2️⃣ @KaitoAI Kaito managed the transition better than most. For a while they kept the platform open before ending Yaps and pivoting toward Kaito Studio. Initially, many expected it to become a creator campaign hub, but in reality it functions more like a Web3 middleman connecting projects with creators and ambassadors. Performance‑wise, the ecosystem also took a hit. $KAITO traded around $0.66 on Jan 15 and now sits around $0.36, roughly a ~45% drop. 3️⃣ @xeetdotai Initially I had high expectations for Xeet, especially with their Creator Verified Program. Many creators applied hoping it would become a serious creator monetization platform. But It gradually turned into something closer to a glorified NFT marketplace, where creators essentially issue profile cards as tradable NFTs. The concept is interesting, but the original creator economy vision hasn’t fully materialized yet. 4️⃣ @wallchain Wallchain is probably the only platform that has stayed consistently active through the shakeup. Even after the broader InfoFi slowdown, they still ran two campaigns to completion, with idOS rewards already distributed. Their Quack Engine, which tracks high‑quality creator content across CT, is still active and updating regularly. Among the major InfoFi projects, Wallchain appear to be one of the few teams still building steadily rather than pivoting away. In the meantime, newer platforms have attempted to fill the gap, but most of them haven’t been able to gain the same traction or sustain creator activity. Which platform are you rooting for?

#kaito The falling trend continues. Need to follow for a while longer .. https://t.co/OdxcIJ4Rq2

Next: @StandX_Official applied ✅ Turns out there are 2 main criteria: $10M ref vol or 20k impressions/month. You only need to hit 1. Ref volume might be tough in this market, but 20k impressions feels doable. Program can run up to a year, and I like these long-term setups.

Just applied to 3 ambassador programs on @KaitoAI Studio today. • @StandX_Official • @TheoriqAI • @flipster_io Different projects, but the same thesis: Vietnam & SEA are becoming one of the most important growth markets in crypto. My focus isn’t just content. It’s about connecting projects with real ecosystems: • 500+ KOLs & traders across Vietnam and SEA • Builder and dev communities • Large Web3 events (10k–20k attendees) happening in Vietnam • Local communities that actually drive adoption The goal is simple: help global projects enter Vietnam the right way. Not just marketing. But users, builders, and long-term mindshare. Let’s see which team we end up building with 👀

#KAITO $KAITO SHORT TRADE ENTRY: 0.3592 TARGET: 0.293 STOPLOSS: 0.3725 https://t.co/5dIYVwjFEH

Kaito Studio 1st wave is live, and @TheoriqAI is the only project I applied for ✅ Despite the mixed opinions across CT, I’m still glad to see @KaitoAI continuing to act as a bridge between projects + creators, and keep distributing incentives to the community. With the other 2 projects - StandX and Flipster - both tied to trading, and as Wale pointed out, the rewards don’t even look fair compared to the required volume and fees. So, for most research-focused creators like us, Theoriq feels like the most reasonable play to lock in. You'll make 2 articles/research pieces per month for $1500, vesting over 12 months, ~ $150 per month Some people say it’s low and the vesting is too long. Maybe they’re already making $500–$1k per post. I’m not, so I see no reason not to participate. Still, I hope Kaito delivers more value for $sKAITO and Yappybares holders. Cuz I’m probably a victim of being a Kaito fan: - bought 5k+ $KAITO at $1 (now $0.35) - aped Yappybaras at $2000 (now $350) 🙂
