OGAudit Web3 Research: @KaitoAI $KAITO - The InfoFi Platform Rebuilding After X Killed Its Core Product?

Kaito has been building the AI powered information and finance layer for crypto since 2023 navigating the most consequential product pivot of its short history:

- Kaito Pro is a crypto native vertical search engine indexing thousands of sources across social media, research and news to surface actionable intelligence with Smart Money tracking, narrative mapping and attention flow analytics powering the InfoFi thesis that attention is more scarce than money or time in the GenAI era.
- Kaito Connect distributes rewards and enables decentralised attention markets with KAITO as the governance, incentive and value exchange token across all products.
- Earlier this year, X revoked Kaito’s API access by banning post to earn models forcing the shutdown of Yaps, the flagship creator incentive platform, causing a 13%+ price drop on the day. Kaito pivoted to Kaito Studio, a brand vetted creator marketplace for quality driven marketing campaigns alongside gKAITO, a reputation based rewards system with stricter anti spam filters and the Yapper Launchpad allowing KAITO/sKAITO holders to vote on pre TGE projects.

Is Kaito Pro’s institutional grade intelligence, gKAITO reputation staking, brand marketplace pivot and the InfoFi category invention the foundation for KAITO’s re-rating as the definitive attention economy infrastructure or does the forced Yaps shutdown, 84% ATH decline, 76% supply overhang and KAITO underperforming in a recovering market signal that the attention economy thesis has met structural platform dependency risk?

we really had it easy in early 2025

you could have sold your "kaito yap votes" to the highest bidder (briber) EVERY WEEK for $500-$1000 as a medium-sized CT account

there were in fact 2 or 3 different groups that wanted the votes from higher profile accounts and DM'd people routinely

i vividly remember some autist and megaeth enthusiast trying to shame me into NOT accepting money (?????)

but instead voting for projects free because its immoral to accept bribes for kaito yap votes and its not "ETH aligned" to take money for just existing even if market is giving you money

less than 2 years later:

kaito is no more, radio silence, token -85%
yaps are no more
megaeth is -70%

moral of the story - when market gives you money, take it, no one will really remember a year from now once the flavor of the month rotates elsewhere
