What is the Kaito AI crypto?

Kaito is an AI-powered InfoFi (information finance) platform that aggregates crypto market intelligence - social data, research and governance discussions - into an AI search engine tuned for crypto. The ecosystem spans three products: Kaito Pro for search and analytics, Yaps, a creator-attention market that rewards quality crypto content on X, and Kaito Studio for creator campaigns. The native KAITO token launched via TGE on February 20, 2025 with a Binance launch and runs on Base.

Is KAITO a coin or a token?

KAITO is a token: it runs on Base, an Ethereum layer-2 network, and has no blockchain of its own. The contract address is 0x98d0baa52b2d063e780de12f615f963fe8537553, verifiable on Basescan. DropsTab classifies Kaito under Artificial Intelligence (AI), Analytics and Base Ecosystem.

What does the KAITO token do?

KAITO distributes incentives across Kaito's InfoFi attention market. Token rewards flow to Yaps creators for quality crypto content, to liquidity incentive pools, and to ambassador campaign participants through Kaito Studio. Official Kaito documentation describes no staking module; token utility centers on ecosystem incentive distribution rather than yield-bearing staking.

How many KAITO tokens exist in total?

KAITO has a fixed maximum and total supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens, with no inflation beyond the cap. Per DropsTab vesting data, the largest allocations are Ecosystem & Network Growth 32.2% and Core Contributors 25%, followed by Initial Community & Ecosystem Claim 10%, Foundation 10%, Early Backers 8.3%, Creator Incentives 7.5%, Liquidity Incentives 5% and Binance Hodler 2%. Core Contributors and Early Backers together hold 33.3% of supply.

What does Kaito's token unlock and vesting schedule mean for investors?

DropsTab vesting data tracks 170 scheduled unlock events, and monthly insider unlocks continue into 2027-2028. Core Contributors and Early Backers began unlocking on February 20, 2026 after a 12-month cliff. Core Contributors release roughly 6.94M KAITO per month and Early Backers roughly 2.31M per month. Steady insider unlocks expand circulating supply against the fixed cap, creating recurring sell pressure independent of market conditions.

Who backed Kaito and how much did Kaito raise?

Per DropsTab fundraising data, Kaito raised $10.8M across two venture rounds. The February 2023 seed round raised $5.3M, led by Dragonfly Capital with Sequoia (China), Jane Street, Mirana Ventures, Folius Ventures and Caladan participating. The June 2023 Series A raised $5.5M, led by Spartan Group and Superscrypt, at a reported valuation of $87.5M per CoinDesk coverage.

What does Kaito's investor lineup signal about the project?

Institutional names back Kaito: Sequoia (China) and Dragonfly Capital took the seed round, and Jane Street, a major trading firm, participated. Backers committed before the AI-crypto narrative formed; the seed closed in February 2023. Concentration risk stays limited because no single backer holds a dominant disclosed stake.

Did Kaito distribute a Yaps airdrop?

Yes. Kaito distributed its Initial Community & Ecosystem Claim, 10% of total supply, to Yaps creators and community members. The claim window ran from February 20 to March 22, 2025. A separate Binance Hodler allocation of 2% of supply went to eligible Binance users at the TGE. Both distributions have closed.

What is the Kaito Ambassador Program?

The Ambassador Program is Kaito's ongoing earning campaign on Kaito Studio, running since March 6, 2026 with no end date.

Earlier community incentive phases have all closed, leaving the Ambassador Program as the active campaign.
