TL;DR
Returning to the AI markets this week, it’s time to discuss Kaito, the AI-powered search engine making waves in the crypto space. With one of the shortest-lived narratives in blockchain. The AI scene has left a bad taste in many investors’ mouths after taking one of the biggest beatings this year. So it came as a surprise when Kaito AI announced that it would be launching its AI-powered protocol at the end of last month. Not only does this show the market how serious the project is about maintaining its development timeline. It flies in the face of fear that encases most projects in times of uncertainty such as this. Was this a bold move or a moronic one? Read more to find out.
We can’t help having very specific terminology to accompany each use case. So, labeling Kaito as just an AI search engine can be a bit misleading. Technically, Kaito falls into the InfoFi sector of blockchain products. This Information Finance label focuses on the attention economy and the decentralization of that marketplace. Within this flawed marketplace lies a monopoly on attention. Creators create all the attention by providing content, while the centralized platforms that host this content receive all the monetary benefits. Kaito is focused on developing a product that will rebalance that scale in the creator’s favor.
Intro to Kaito
Kaito works by aggregating and indexing blockchain-related content from different platforms. Taking this unstructured data and turning it into useable information that can be queried for insight. In turn, decentralizing the value gathered by legacy platforms like X. To do this, Kaito has developed two distinctly different products to help fuel their goal of providing the most value to the market.
Kaito Pro
Kaito Pro is a tool used for navigating the quickly evolving information marketplace. Taking the chaotic data spread out across different platforms and helping to make sense of it all. Core features include:
- Purpose-built indexing for thousands of data sets.
- Real-time intelligence to update users on shifts in market trends.
- Metasearch options that scan thousands of Web3 sources.
- Smart alerts for all critical updates to queried data.
- Mindshare and narrative analysis of a token.
- AI Co-pilot to automate the entire process.
Kaito Connect
Kaito Connect is the AI-powered side of the protocol that helps reevaluate attention-based markets and how they coincide with capital flows. Kaito Connect helps audit and verify that contributions made to the network are legitimate and valuable. Core values for Connect are:
- Fairness and equal opportunity for all users of Kaito through the democratization of access to ensure users receive their fair share of value.
- Transparency between brands, creators, and their customers helps create added trust.
- No third party agencies or other middlemen are allowed, enabling great content to be rewarded without the concern for value scalping.
Kaito Yaps
Built into Kaito Connect and designed as the encompassing metric for Kaito’s reward structure are Yaps. This is how Kaito establishes a relationship with the market and its users to provide anyone with the ability to share in the creator economy. Simply by providing value to others. Allowing Yaps to operate as a Proof-of-Attention economy…
