🚨 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗼 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 🚨 We just came accross @KaitoAI's announcement about its upcoming update, which will change some rules in their algo. This is a response to community feedback from CT and beyond, aiming to boost sustainability, cut noise, and elevate quality. If your yapping for Portal, you don't want to miss this. Let’s break it down! 🧵⤵️

🎯 𝗬𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗹 The core change is a 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱, measured by Yaps, Smart Followers, and CT mindshare, to ensure real accounts rank high. This tackles the bot problem head-on. A 2023 Journal of Blockchain Research study found 68% of crypto social media engagement was low-effort spam. Kaito’s move aligns with fixing that.

🌱 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 No more grinding for rewards! Kaito’s shifting emphasis to 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀, inspired by small accounts that exploded using the platform. Think of it as rewarding organic influence over synthetic hype, a nod to the 2024 MIT analysis on AI inflating fake Web3 influence.

📊 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 Say goodbye to Pre-/Post-TGE leaderboards! Kaito’s restructuring into 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 (e.g., stablecoins, RWA, ZK, AI, etc.). This mirrors the rise of InfoFi. Tokenized attention markets are projected to hit $5B by 2027 (according to Deloitte, 2025), prioritizing signal over noise.

🏆 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 & 𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 Retroactive, ROI-driven rewards are in play, focusing on 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁. Plus, public topic leaderboards will spotlight thought leaders, no direct payouts, just recognition and perks. A win for quality contributors drowned out by the 2021 DeFi reward-chasing frenzy.

⚔️ 𝗦𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺 An improved global slashing system will 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗜 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝗽. This echoes the 2022 PMC study on social media bots in crypto, suggesting a 10⁻³ engagement threshold for manipulation. Kaito’s raising the bar!
