Yap FAQs

Yap Points Program

How do I earn Yap points?

• Earning Yaps is all about real, high-quality, and relevant participation in crypto discussions; this means that Yaps are awarded through a blend of the following:

  • Crypto relevance

  • Real, reputation-weighted engagement

  • Insightful, original & focused discussions (quality > quantity)

• Yap points are NOT designed to be easy to earn or solely based on volume - which would be very easily gamed

Does it only count when I mention Kaito or any specific projects in Kaito’s community leaderboards?

• No, all eligible crypto-related discussions count and no particular projects or topics are being overweighted

Is regional language getting the same weighting as English?

• Yes, Kaito uses the same state-of-the-art LLM model that understands regional languages. Content other than English has already been earning Yaps and there is no difference in weighting

• Furthermore, we are currently looking to deploy regional LLM models to better capture cultural nuances in different regions

Does my 𝕏 account need to stay connected to “Kaito AI” to earn points?

• No, Kaito Yaps only relies on initial 𝕏 authentication (when you first onboard to Yaps) to verify account ownership

• Once initial authentication is done, you can start to accumulate Yap points through your 𝕏 activities regardless of whether Kaito Yaps stay connected

• You do not need to keep reconnecting every few hours to accumulate Yaps

I'm getting a Captcha verification issue, what can I do?

• Try removing ad block if you have it on, it can sometimes cause a Captcha error.

Is there a lag between Tweets and Yaps being awarded?

• Each Tweet has a rolling window to earn Yaps

• This is meant to proxy social propagation on CT: tweets typically stay on people's timelines for 24 hours before significantly decaying

How does Kaito determine whether an 𝕏 account represents an entity or an individual?

• Our AI programmatically analyzes various account attributes - such as the bio, handle, description, profile picture, and tweets - to determine whether an X account represents an entity or an individual. The goal is to approximate how the general audience perceives the account.

Does Kaito use a spam filter?

• Yes, Kaito extensively leverages LLM to exclude low-effort content including spams

Do I have to tag Kaito in my tweet for it to qualify?

• No, you do not need to

Are articles being counted in the evaluation system?

• Yes

Why do I have 0 yaps?

• If you are not earning Yaps despite your X activity, it could be attributed to one or more of the following reasons:

  • We assess a reputation-weighted impact rather than raw impressions or engagements, so if a tweet's cumulative eligible social engagements do not meet a certain threshold, points may not be awarded

  • Your content may not have been scored as sufficiently insightful or original by our LLM-based evaluation

  • Simply spamming buzzwords without genuine context or depth won’t register as relevant

I keep getting an authentication error when I try to log in to Kaito Yaps — what should I do?

• This could be due to a lot of ongoing traffic due to X verification rate limit — please try refreshing your page after 15 minutes, testing a different browser or connecting later on

Why are my Referral points not being reflected?

• People who joined using your Invite Link needs to start earning Yap points themselves first, before Referral points are credited to you

• Note that Referral points are refreshed every hour

Where can I find my Invite Link & Social Card?

• Once you have signed in, navigate to your profile via https://yaps.kaito.ai/user

• On the top-right, click on “My Social Card”, which will generate a pop-up for you to retrieve your Invite Link, your Social Card, or directly share it to 𝕏

Input Wallet on Yaps - how will my wallet address be used and who might this be shared with?

• You have the option to input your wallet address(es) as part of the Yaps platform. Wallet lists may be used by Kaito or shared with other partners (In the form of a list of addresses - anonymized - not including associated X handles) - solely for the purpose of their own reward distribution to these wallet(s).

• Examples include:

  • Project X asks us for a list of wallets for their own (ie Project X) 1000 top Yappers on their Yapper Leaderboard

  • Project Y asks us for a list of wallets for their own (ie Project Y) voters on the Yapper Launchpad

• If you would no longer like your wallet(s) to be used by Kaito / to be shared with other partners for potential reward distribution, you can remove your wallet(s) at any time. You may also change your inputted wallet(s) at any time.
