🧐 I, who was airdropped and 'ignored' by Kaito, finally know where my mistake lies—— High YAP score ≠ Stable airdrop | A three-dimensional screening mechanism that integrates YAP points, social influence, and content profiling; Thank you all for answering my questions. I haven't paid much attention to this ecosystem. Yesterday, many Yap friends left comments on this issue; Firstly, Kaito's airdrop distribution mechanism is a non-public rule (grey box) and social identity screening mechanism, and it does not necessarily guarantee high scores. To summarize yesterday's suggestion regarding @ KaitoAI tweet: one ️⃣ Why can others get Huma/other Kaito airdrops while I haven't been able to get them? The reasons are as follows: Kaito is an AI driven Web3 search engine that uses a "Yap to Earn" model to reward users with Yap points through the Social X platform, which may be linked to airdrop distribution. However, airdrops related to the Kaito project are typically associated with Genesis NFT holdings, Yap point rankings, and interactions and creations within the ecosystem, such as Huma Finance. 1. Score is only a reference, not a determining factor: Although the project emphasizes externally that the points system (YAP, etc.) is the basis for airdrops, But in actual distribution, it's not just about scores, it mainly depends on whether you have written in-depth content about the project, whether you have pledged NFTs and Kaito tokens; Especially for this content, the quality requirements are relatively high. If no relevant content is produced, there will be no airdrop. The role of AI is to determine the content profile; Of course, we will also consider dimensions such as wallet profile, social influence, content quality, and depth of dissemination. Many people simply score without substantial content participation, which may be judged as "low-quality participation" or "robot behavior". I didn't receive it, I just didn't create any related content! 2. Huma airdrop is a mixture of whitelist and points mechanism: Mass airdrops are targeted towards addresses recommended by cooperating KOLs or users with frequent social interactions. So seeing some people 'score not high but get it' is a manifestation of the social relationship chain playing a role. In addition, Kaito Ecological Airdrops (including Huma Finance) offer additional bonuses to Genesis NFT holders. For example, NFT holders of Kaito may receive priority allocation from HUMA or KAITO. 3. The screening mechanism of the project party is more inclined towards verifiable influence—— For example: Have you participated in early interactions (like/reply/RT official content) Whether to bind social media accounts such as X/Twitter, Lens, Farcaster, etc. and maintain long-term activity; Is there any content that has been "liked/quoted/discussed" by others (real social influence) Is there any active behavior in the Discord/X community; So to summarize: For example, the first airdrop similar to Huma Finance @ humafinance is only allocated to the top 500 Yap contributors, and this contribution is not based on your total score, but on the Mindshare score (comprehensive evaluation of 30 days, 3 months, and 12 months). Even if your total Yap score is high, if you do not make it to the top of the list (such as the top 500 or top 1000), you will not be able to receive airdrops. To enter this ranking, one needs to either pledge tokens and NFTs, or generate relevant content to enter the Mindshare ranking, as mentioned earlier; two ️⃣ How do you want to earn airdrops by accumulating Kaito project points? What can you do in the future to increase the probability of receiving airdrops? ✅ 1. Don't just brush points, participate truthfully and leave a mark: When searching, adding tags, commenting on addresses, and writing insight may be recorded in the background; Do not make the same address or batch behavior dozens of times a day, as it can easily be classified as farm; ✅ 2. Create relevant content with topics and official citations This is very important. Creating relevant content is the main core source for obtaining airdrops. When you have time, you can write and publish collaborative projects, such as projects like Huma Finance, OG, and Infinex; Or original analysis, tutorials, or technical comparisons related to Kaito ecology, Published on X platform with tags such as Kaito and HumaFinance infinex. For example, writing a project experience, investment research, and review, posting it on X platform @ KaitoAI, and being liked or cited by the project team greatly increases the probability of receiving airdrops; ✅ 3. Keep social network connections active; Bind X/Lens/Farcaster and interact, especially keeping in touch with the official account of the project, joining Discord and participating in project tasks, feedback, AMA and other activities. Maintain interaction with other KOLs, reply, forward, or reference their tweets to increase content exposure. Increase interaction: For example, frequently interact with @ KaitoAI and @ humafinance, strive to enter the top 500 or top 1000, and increase the probability of airdrop distribution. ✅ 4. Layout multiple InfoFi projects, don't take a gamble Finally, let me emphasize that Kaito's airdrop distribution mechanism is a non-public rule (grey box) and social identity screening mechanism. Overall, you cannot find the most accurate rule, but it is likely related to the content discussed above and requires you to adjust and find patterns on your own. In addition to Kaito, projects such as Cookie, Bubblemaps, Ethos, etc. are also worth participating in when building similar InfoFi × AI × Social Reputation models with basic gameplay; I wrote @ bubblemaps yesterday Next, I will find time to write @ okiedotfun;
