最新报道：Kaito, an AI-powered "infofi" platform, is at the center of a heated debate about how cryptocurrency projects engage with investors. On the one hand, data shows that Kaito's activities have increased industry-wide visibility and market share. However, critics argue that the platform's gamified model risks fostering fake activity and short-term hype. Debate over Kaito's impact on the cryptocurrency community: According to Messari data, projects working with Kaito saw an 88% increase in market share in 30 days, highlighting its ability to stand out amidst the noise in the cryptocurrency market. Kaito itself garnered 33.31% market share on Messari's Signals Tracker, reflecting how its activities are increasing visibility during a period when attention is typically fleeting. However, some, including Blockworks Head of Growth and Strategy John Vance (JV), have raised concerns. Vance believes this trend is a net negative for the industry as a whole. This view stems from the perception on Crypto Twitter that gamification has eroded community values. Vance also warned that Kaito's model encourages "pseudo-thought leadership from the loudest people in the room," sacrificing real education and discovery. Others have expressed similar concerns. Crypto builder Yurii noted that the problem of fake engagement dates back to the 2017 ICO era, when incentives and backdoored influencer trading distorted project discovery. Industry veteran Jules Mossler went further, comparing this cycle to broader internet marketing trends in the late 2000s. She argues that crypto continues to reinvent old strategies, from missions to "micro-influencers," without learning from history. These concerns come weeks after on-chain sleuth ZachXBT accused Kaito of significantly inflating user metrics. Meanwhile, Kaito recently adjusted its cryptocurrency market share algorithm to address criticism of engagement manipulation and low-quality content dominating the leaderboard. BeInCrypto reported that the update targets spammy engagement mining and emphasizes long-term contributions and high-quality insights on crypto Twitter to restore trust. Despite the backlash, some users value Kaito's efforts, calling for more AI-driven content filtering and tiered dashboards to reward genuine contributions. Kaito Bet on Roadmap Innovation to Combat AI Spam Amid the debate, Kaito is betting on its roadmap innovations to redefine the role of cryptocurrency in digital engagement, which has the potential to be a success. Yu Hu, founder of the AI-powered "infofi" platform, announced a comprehensive roadmap update. Kaito executives positioned the platform as a long-term solution to the challenges of social media and cryptocurrency adoption. The plan emphasizes on-chain integration, reputation-based leaderboards, and a new fund, Kaito Venture. This will help accelerate the development of consumer cryptocurrency applications that can benefit from its distribution network. Hu believes that cryptocurrency-backed information marketplaces can rival traditional advertising technology by providing transparency and trust. At the same time, they can also combat "AI spam," the low-quality, synthetic content that floods social platforms. Kaito ended the first half of the year with $40 million in annual recurring revenue, 80% of which is verifiable on-chain. This makes it one of the most profitable AI-connected applications in the cryptocurrency space. Kaito is treading a delicate path. On one hand, it's been hailed as a groundbreaking project distribution engine. On the other, it's been criticized for reshaping community behavior in ways that some fear will reflect the excesses of past cryptocurrency cycles. With its new roadmap, the company is betting it can prove its critics wrong and turn gamified participation into a sustainable market primitive for the next wave of cryptocurrency adoption.
