Kaito AI (KAITO) Airdrop Farming Guide 2026: How to Position for the Next Drop
What Is Kaito AI? Kaito is an AI-powered crypto intelligence platform founded in 2022 by ex-Citadel hedge fund manager Yu Hu. The core product is a Web3 meta-search engine that indexes thousands of sources at once: social media, governance forums, Discord servers, podcasts, research reports. It turns that raw noise into structured, searchable signals. Think of it as Perplexity for crypto, with a heavier focus on real-time social sentiment rather than static knowledge. The platform serves both retail users and institutional clients who subscribe to Kaito Pro, its premium search suite. What separated Kaito from other analytics tools was the “InfoFi” layer it built on top: the Yaps points program, which rewarded users with crypto-native reputation points for posting quality content on X (formerly Twitter). Kaito backed this with real funding. Its Series A round in June 2023 valued the company at $87.5 million, with backers including Dragonfly Capital, Sequoia Capital, Spartan Group, and Jane Street Capital. That roster matters. These firms rarely write checks into projects without a clear monetization path.
