AI encryption search engine Kaito may become the largest Airdrop in 2025

The AI encryption search engine Kaito is expected to become one of the largest airdrop projects in 2025. This prediction is mainly based on the following aspects:

Kaito has given back to the community through the Genesis NFT minting event and plans to redistribute the minting fees to the first 1000 Yaps users. This indicates that Kaito is actively taking steps to encourage community participation.

Kaito is leading the development of "InfoFi" (Information Finance). The project closest to InfoFi currently is Arkham, which conducted a large-scale Airdrop last year and now has a market value of $536 million. Due to Kaito's more pure mechanism design, its potential market value may be higher.

Although Kaito's ultimate goal is not yet clear, it is evident that significant plans are in the works. Currently, earning Yaps points is considered one of the most attractive ways to participate in the encryption field, especially considering that no cost is required.

Kaito Yaps is the core of the entire ecosystem. Users' tweets that are rated as "high quality" will receive Yaps (points) as a reward.

However, how to effectively earn Yaps remains a mystery to be solved. Some accounts with a large number of followers and influence do not yield Yaps as expected.

Due to the fact that the specific algorithm has not been made public (to prevent abuse), this guide is mainly based on information shared by Kaito, actual test results, and observations of small accounts that have successfully earned Yaps.

It's worth noting that some small accounts earn more Yaps than large accounts, so don't underestimate your opportunities.

Starting from basic principles, Kaito provides some clues regarding the evaluation criteria for Yaps, allowing us to analyze them one by one:

Proof of Work: The quantity and quality of encryption-related content

Kaito does not favor meaningless chatter or casual remarks, but values high-quality posts related to encryption.

Practical Suggestions:

• Maintain a daily frequency of posting tweets, focusing on encryption topics, and ensure the use of relevant keywords.
• Although it is challenging to continuously create content, one can share recent learning insights, comment on hot events, and discuss perspectives on different protocols.

Interaction Proof: Reputation-Weighted Real Participation Analysis

Kaito's assessment of different X accounts is not one-size-fits-all, but revolves around "smart followers."

This mechanism is similar to Google's SEO algorithm. How does Google determine a website is trustworthy and should appear on the first page of search results? They use a technology called PageRank.

If a high PageRank website links to your site, it will send positive signals to Google. To improve SEO rankings, you need to obtain more links from trusted websites.

The operating principle of Kaito may be similar. The more "smart followers" an account has, the greater its influence.

For example, if a blogger with more than 3,000 followers interacts with your content (comments, likes, or shares), you may earn more Yaps than accounts with only 30 followers. This mechanism sounds reasonable.

Two strategies can be adopted for this:

1. Create content that can attract participation from smart accounts. Smart accounts are usually very active and are exposed to a large amount of information every day. It takes extra effort to catch their attention.

Based on observations, smart accounts seem to prefer the following types of content:

• Real cases and stories: For example, sharing experiences of participating in the 500,000 to 5 million dollar challenge.
• Unique Insights: Share little-known information.
• Data Analysis: Provides in-depth data insights.
• Highly relevant information: Stay on top of hot topics and trends.

This method is more effective for accounts with a larger number of followers. If you've written an excellent article in a certain field but no one sees it, you won't be able to earn Yaps due to the lack of participation from smart accounts.

For small accounts, a better strategy is to focus on being an active responder, writing insightful comments, and encouraging other accounts to interact with you.

If the interaction rate is not high, you can increase participation by asking in-depth follow-up questions.

Another strategy worth considering is to present a counterpoint:

The encryption community often experiences an "echo chamber effect". Presenting different viewpoints and rationally defending them may attract more users to participate, as this can spark discussions and debates.

Practical suggestions:

• Follow the Yap leaderboard. Create an X list to list the accounts you want to interact with.
• Look for accounts with a considerable number of followers, frequent posts, and a willingness to respond.
• Write in-depth comments with the goal of eliciting a response from the account. Avoid simple agree-with-me comments, as they may not provoke a reply.

Proof of Insight: Weighted by Relevance, Information Volume, and Originality

Kaito values content that can provoke thought and promote the development of the encryption industry, rather than posts that merely attract attention or incite emotions.

Relevance: Focus on current trending topics. You can refer to Kaito's mindshare ratio.

Information Volume: This is a comprehensive reflection of post length and account engagement. High-quality long articles usually meet this standard.

Originality: Kaito values unique content and analysis, and does not encourage simple copying, pasting, or AI rewriting.

Practical Suggestions:

• Create more in-depth content about specific protocols.
• If you have a large number of followers, you can choose popular protocols as the writing topic.
• For small accounts, consider niche market strategies. Focus on a specific area or protocol and become an "expert" in that field, making it easier to stand out.

Small Account Strategy

For small accounts with less than 300 followers, the following strategies can be considered:

• Be an active responder. Create a list of target accounts for interaction, ensuring your replies can spark their engagement.
• Focus on content creation for specific protocols, especially those that have high attention but fewer content creators.
• Present controversial viewpoints, but articulate and defend them with reasoned arguments.
• Conduct in-depth research on the Yap algorithm, observe those small accounts that have successfully earned a large amount of Yap, and learn their strategies.
• Identify market gaps and become an expert in a specific niche.

X Platform Algorithm Strategy

Increasing the "coverage" of posts can increase the opportunity to earn Yaps. Some basic principles:

• Add images or videos to each post to align with the multimedia trend of platform X.
• Avoid adding links directly in the original tweet; they can be published in subsequent tweets.
• Try to respond to every comment to increase engagement.
• Focus on content quality to ensure that readers can learn new knowledge from your article.
• Provide specific and detailed information, rather than speaking in generalities.
• Longer articles usually achieve higher coverage. Choose the appropriate publishing format based on the content.
• Maintain a genuine and human writing style, avoiding robotic expressions.

Other considerations:

• Make sure to link your EVM wallet address to the Kaito dashboard before January 1st (snapshot cutoff date).
• You can earn extra Yaps through referrals. Consider promoting your referral link on other channels like Discord or Telegram, but avoid spamming.

Conclusion

Despite some criticism of the Yap plan, such as the potential for low returns or a decline in the quality of Crypto Twitter, it has also brought positive effects to the encryption field:

• Encourage creators to improve content quality.
• Promote broader community participation and communication.
• Provide users with opportunities to connect and develop their accounts.

Regardless of whether there is an Airdrop in the end, participating in this process can help you expand your influence and create more opportunities for the future.
