Community Lead @KaitoAI

[Cryptex 🌊 @cryptexbt]

Some good news to share during a rough market!

After almost a year at Kaito, I’m thrilled (and a little humbled) to share that I’ve been promoted to Community Lead!

When I joined Kaito as a Moderator, I didn’t expect such a journey.

Part growth story, part chaos, and lots of caffeine (also many many hours in discord).

From Moderator → Community Manager → Community Lead in under a year, it's been about one thing - helping everyone who wants to understand Kaito and the ecosystem.

In my new role, I’ll be working even closer with our amazing team and community, helping everyone understand, contribute and grow with Kaito.

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of me getting here! 🫡

P.S. My Yapy's been feeling like Koby from One Piece today

i’ve read through the comments, and i understand where everyone is coming from

firstly, this sucks. no platform wants to be in a position where terms are changed. there is nothing to gain from doing that, and i fully recognize how frustrating this may feel

here is what happened:

the billions team came to us in March that there's major exchange listing obstacle with 5.6% day 1 launchpad unlock and needed to revise the terms (with lockups)

we explored several alternatives, but ultimately could not land on a solution that satisfied all parties with a viable path to launch

while we don't agree with it in principle, the truth is, tge in the current environment is hard. at the time, polymarket implied only around a 40% probability of billions launching above the breakeven level of 100mn FDV, meaning the expected value of the launch was below the raise valuation (today, that number is around 80%)

as a platform, the last thing we want is for users to lose money. so we pushed for a full refund option to be included to make users whole (option A)

that said, i fully understand the frustration. nobody wants to see the structure they originally signed up for change. we will speak with the billions team again after all the feedback today.

will be back with updates.

i’ve read all the feedback in detail, and i really appreciate everyone who took the time to share their thoughts

our fundamental goal here is unchanged vs before - we want to help bring new opportunities to the market in a way that is more accessible, more transparent, and more merit- and impact-based

i expected there would be mixed reactions. the reality is that not every opportunity is meant for everyone, and that is okay. if a particular one is not a fit for you, i encourage you to check out the upcoming ones - different brands, different formats, and different reward ranges

at the same time, i’ve also seen a lot of people, including users of the product, genuinely excited because this sits on top of things they are already doing. and i think that is a good sign too

at the end of the day, any marketplace has to start somewhere. now we get to build with all of you

thank you again for all the messages. the good thing is that we are back on offense for the journey ahead - and we’ll keep listening, iterating, and working to close the gap between where things are today and where we believe this can go

[Yu Hu 🌊 @Punk9277]

software is becoming commoditized
distribution is getting harder
and that is exactly why distribution matters more than ever

we believe the future of distribution will be shaped by two networks:
- the social network, built on people and trust
- and the machine network, built on agents and intelligence

Kaito is building for both

today, Kaito Studio beta is our first step: a network for human trust, real alignment, and meaningful opportunity

what we are building starts in crypto, but it will not stop there

a big part of 2026 is about taking this further - expanding the network, broadening the surface area, and building for a much bigger future

for now, opportunities will continue ramping over the coming weeks as more brands finalize their profiles and program details

we’re building for the long term

come build with us

[Kaito AI 🌊 @KaitoAI]

Today we are launching Kaito Studio beta.

Starting today, we’re moving to a new model where brands and creators can more intentionally match based on mutual fit, selection, and expectations - launching with 16 partners, with more in the pipeline as details are finalized.

Since launching our waitlist in February, a rapidly growing network of creators has joined Kaito Studio, representing 80 million collective followers and $14 billion in follower net worth. These creators span 118 countries, with English-focused creators making up the largest segment, and China and Korea representing the largest country cohorts. Around 30% have also joined with TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube accounts, positioning them to bring content cross-platform.

From here, Kaito Studio will focus on solving three main problems, one step at a time:

- Ambassador and creator matching - helping brands find the right ambassadors or creators based on data, audience, and subject alignment

- Performance attribution - measuring real impact across influence, mindshare, and conversion

- End-to-end orchestration - powering a repeatable workflow from creator matching and campaign execution to measurement, evaluation, and optimization

We will ramp up opportunities over the coming weeks as more brands finalize their profiles and program details.

As we continue building more features for the GenAI and agentic ecosystem, stay tuned for more opportunities ahead.
