Kaito Yappers

What is Kaito AI?

Kaito is an AI-powered information platform for crypto that aggregates and analyzes data from thousands of Web3 sources, turning unstructured information into actionable insights. The platform has become central to how crypto projects measure and reward genuine community contribution, moving beyond traditional social media metrics to quantify real impact and insight.

At the core of Kaito is its Yaps system, which uses AI to analyze social graphs and semantic signals to quantify attention in ways that go beyond traditional metrics like likes and impressions. This approach recognizes that in crypto, the quality of discussion matters far more than raw engagement numbers. A single insightful thread from a respected analyst can drive more genuine interest than thousands of generic retweets.

Understanding Yaps and Yappers

Yaps are points distributed daily to content creators or "Yappers" who generate crypto mindshare through quality content. The system evaluates contributions through multiple dimensions, analyzing not just what people post but how the crypto community responds to and builds upon those ideas. The algorithm considers Proof-of-Work (volume of relevant content created), Proof-of-Exchange (meaningful engagement generated), and Proof-of-Insight (originality and depth of discussions).

Yappers are ranked on public leaderboards for specific projects, measuring the share of attention that individuals contribute through posting and engagement on Crypto Twitter. These rankings update daily, creating a dynamic ecosystem where consistent quality contribution is rewarded over one-time viral posts. The transparency of these leaderboards has transformed how projects identify and reward their most valuable community members.

Lombard's Kaito Yapper Program

Lombard recognized early that organic, thoughtful discussions about the protocol were worth far more than paid promotions or artificial hype. The protocol allocated 1,600,000 $BARD tokens, representing 0.16% of the total supply, specifically for Kaito Yappers who helped build genuine mindshare around LBTC and the broader Lombard ecosystem.

The distribution happens in two phases: 50% was claimable at TGE (September 18, 2025) and the remaining 50% becomes available after 6 months. Claims are processed through Kaito's own portal at yaps.kaito.ai/airdrops, separate from Lombard's main claiming system.

How to Participate

To become a Yapper, visit the Kaito platform, connect your X (Twitter) account, and join the waitlist. Once approved, you can start earning Yaps by creating quality content about Lombard - whether that's technical analysis of LBTC, educational threads about BTC.b, or thoughtful commentary on Bitcoin DeFi developments.

The key to success is genuine engagement with Lombard's technology and vision. The AI algorithm rewards original insights, technical depth, and content that sparks meaningful discussion. It penalizes low-quality posts, engagement farming, and shallow commentary.

For those passionate about Bitcoin's evolution in DeFi, becoming a Lombard Yapper offers both immediate recognition through leaderboard rankings and potential future rewards as the protocol continues growing and deploying ecosystem incentives.
