About Kaito
Kaito is an AI-driven information finance (InfoFi) platform that aggregates crypto attention and mindshare data from social platforms like X, YouTube, and TikTok. Its core business includes Kaito Pro (a paid AI research terminal for institutional teams), Kaito Studio (a curated creator-brand marketplace), Capital Launchpad (a merit-based token sale platform), and Attention Markets (prediction markets built with Polymarket).
The core value proposition is converting scattered social attention into measurable, tradeable data assets. Its competitive moat lies in AI-powered mindshare scoring across multiple platforms, reducing dependence on any single API. The main pain point it solves: marketers and funds lack auditable, outcome-based metrics for influencer campaigns, while retail users lack transparent capital allocation mechanisms.
In the past six months (2026-03-12 to 2026-09-12), Kaito underwent a major pivot after X revoked API access for reward-based posting apps in January 2026, forcing the shutdown of its flagship Yaps program. The token dropped ~83.5% from ATH. However, the company rebuilt around formal data partnerships with X, launched Katalyst (a performance-based creator reward layer with 80% of pools going to verified creators), and expanded Kaito Pro to 500+ paying teams with reported profitability. Capital Launchpad has generated ~$32.9M cumulative revenue, and Polymarket attention markets surpassed $1.3M in pilot volume. Key risks include a 25% core contributor unlock cliff on 2026-06-20 and unresolved data manipulation concerns in attention markets.
Kaito introduced the Katalyst rewards tier, implementing a performance-based payment mechanism for creators. It announced the shutdown of Yaps and incentivized leaderboards while launching Kaito Studio as a strategic pivot. The company established a venture capital department and allocated 6 million KAITO tokens to incentivize ecosystem growth. It launched the Pulse social layer, which drew privacy concerns, and signed a data agreement with Company X.
Positive: Kaito Pro has 500+ paying teams, ~$33M annualized revenue; real buybacks ~$14M annualized; product expansion—Studio in Feb, Katalyst (conversion-based) in Jul, Pulse plugin in Aug, upgrading from Yaps to attention+on-chain behavior verification.
Negative: Jun 20 unlock of 32.59M tokens ($12.71M); Jul 20 unlock of 17.6M ($8.1M); 75.9% of supply unlocked over time, circulating supply nearly doubling in H2; token not tied to protocol revenue, weak value capture; Yaps shut down due to X API revocation; Pulse privacy controversy.
Yu Hu: Founder & CEO. Graduated with First Class Honours in Economics from the University of Cambridge; former Investment Banking Analyst at Deutsche Bank and International Equities at Citadel, where he managed a $500M long/short portfolio.
