On January 15, 2026, X <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblock.co\/post\/385805\/kaito-token-plummets-x-revises-api-policies-ban-infofi-crypto-projects\">revoked API access for apps that paid users to post<\/a>, and the KAITO token dropped more than 10% almost immediately.

The mindshare analytics stayed. Only the paid farming layer on X closed.<\/p>\n<h2>What does mindshare mean after InfoFi?<\/h2>\n<p>Mindshare is a project&#8217;s share of the relevant conversation over a period, compared with other projects in the same category.<\/p>\n<p>InfoFi, short for information finance, was the label for apps that paid people for that conversation. Kaito scored posts about projects and rewarded top posters with token allocations and partner perks. Projects chased a high rank because it signalled traction to exchanges and funds.<\/p>\n<h4>Why the old model broke<\/h4>\n<p>Rewards pulled in volume faster than quality. Critics called the result attention farming. Decrypt&#8217;s coverage of the ban recalled that on-chain investigator ZachXBT had accused Kaito of inflating user metrics in August 2025. Once posting paid, the leaderboard mostly measured how many people were paid to talk.<\/p>\n<h4>What mindshare still tells you<\/h4>\n<p>It remains a useful early signal when you read it as share of voice among accounts your buyers already follow. It becomes a weak signal of demand when most of the posts come from accounts you paid.<\/p>\n<h2>How is Kaito Studio different from Yaps leaderboards?<\/h2>\n<p>Kaito Studio is a selective marketplace: brands publish campaigns, and approved creators quote a price for the work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/learn\/what-is-kaito-earn-yap-points\">CoinGecko&#8217;s Kaito guide<\/a> lays out how it works. Each campaign sets objectives, a scope of work, a timeline, a reward structure and content guidelines. Brands pick creators at their own discretion, and selected creators sign a contract with the brand directly. A vendor write-up from BlockEden lists X, YouTube and TikTok as Studio&#8217;s platforms. At the beta launch, Kaito said its creator network reached 80 million combined followers.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;margin: 26px 0;font-size: 15px\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background: #0b1f3a;color: #ffffff\">\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;font-weight: bold;border: 1px solid #0b1f3a;width: 24%\">Dimension<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;font-weight: bold;border: 1px solid #0b1f3a;width: 38%\">Yaps leaderboard (2025)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;font-weight: bold;border: 1px solid #0b1f3a;width: 38%\">Kaito Studio (2026)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;font-weight: bold;color: #0b1f3a\">Who takes part<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;background: #fdecec\">Anyone with an X account could post and climb<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;background: #e6faf6\">Approved creators apply, and the brand selects<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;font-weight: bold;color: #0b1f3a\">How creators get paid<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;background: #fdecec\">Token rewards and allocations based on rank<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;background: #e6faf6\">A quoted fee for a defined scope<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;font-weight: bold;color: #0b1f3a\">Platforms<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;background: #fdecec\">X only<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;background: #e6faf6\">X, YouTube and TikTok<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;font-weight: bold;color: #0b1f3a\">Quality control<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;background: #fdecec\">Algorithmic scoring after posting<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;background: #e6faf6\">Brand selection and a written brief<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;font-weight: bold;color: #0b1f3a\">Disclosure<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;background: #fdecec\">Often missing or buried in hashtags<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;background: #e6faf6\">Expected on every paid post, with X&#8217;s native label available<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;font-weight: bold;color: #0b1f3a\">Platform risk<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;background: #fdecec\">Fully tied to X&#8217;s API terms<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px;border: 1px solid #e2e8f0;background: #e6faf6\">Spread out, but still subject to each platform&#8217;s ad rules<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><em>How to read this table: the first four rows come from published program descriptions by Kaito, CoinGecko and BlockEden. The disclosure and platform risk rows are Blockchain App Factory&#8217;s own assessment.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>A documented Studio campaign<\/h4>\n<p>Kaito Studio&#8217;s own case study on Jumper, an onchain super-app, is the clearest public benchmark so far. Jumper signed 69 creators for its first X campaign and paid an $18.90 CPM.<\/p>\n<p>That CPM comes from Kaito and from a single campaign. Treat it as an opening reference when creator quotes start arriving.<\/p>\n<p>Some Studio campaigns still pay creators in project tokens. Axis Robotics, for example, paid its creator rewards in AXIS on Base. A token payment is still a payment, and that matters for the disclosure section below.<\/p>\n<h2>How should you structure a mindshare campaign now?<\/h2>\n<p>Run it as a paid creator program with written scopes, and put it on more than one platform from day one.<\/p>\n<p>In an analysis published by BlockMedia, Tiger Research expected surviving InfoFi projects to move toward bounty platforms, selection-based campaigns, multi-platform distribution and managed KOL rosters. A project can build the same structure itself without waiting for any platform.<\/p>\n<h4>Set the outcome before you pick creators<\/h4>\n<p>Choose one result a leaderboard cannot fake. Good options are funded wallets, waitlist signups with referral codes, testnet transactions or exchange deposits. Write down the target and how you will track it.<\/p>\n<h4>Build creator tiers<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Anchor creators are two to four large, trusted accounts who frame the narrative in launch week.<\/li>\n<li>Analysts are five to ten mid-size accounts who explain the mechanics in threads and long videos.<\/li>\n<li>Educators are ten to thirty smaller accounts who answer questions inside their own communities.<\/li>\n<li>Community members can still post freely, but nobody gets paid for raw post volume.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These ranges are Blockchain App Factory&#8217;s working defaults for a mid-size token launch. Adjust them to your budget.<\/p>\n<h4>Spread across platforms<\/h4>\n<p>Use X for real-time narrative and YouTube for explainers that keep ranking in search and get quoted in AI answers. TikTok reaches retail audiences in markets where X is weak, though crypto eligibility rules differ by region, as our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockchainappfactory.com\/blog\/crypto-tiktok-influencer-marketing-guide\/\">crypto TikTok influencer guide<\/a> explains. Telegram and Discord are where interest turns into signups.<\/p>\n<p>Long-form explainers also feed answer engines. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockchainappfactory.com\/blog\/answer-engine-optimization-web3\/\">answer engine optimization for Web3 brands<\/a> covers how to structure that content so LLMs quote it.<\/p>\n<h4>Use Kaito Studio as one channel<\/h4>\n<p>Studio handles creator matching and attribution for its approved network. Run it next to direct creator deals so a single marketplace never controls your whole campaign.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18187\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blockchainappfactory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/The-earned-attention-loop.jpg\" alt=\"Blockchain App Factory's Earned Attention Loop showing four stages: Select, Brief, Spread and Prove\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!-- PULL QUOTE --><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;margin: 34px 0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 0;border-left: 5px solid #fbbf24;padding: 18px 26px;background: #fffbeb\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 21px;line-height: 1.5;color: #0b1f3a;font-weight: bold;margin: 0\">A leaderboard rank was a proxy for attention.

Kaito closed Yaps on January 15, 2026 and replaced it with Kaito Studio, and we found no reversal of X&#8217;s policy as of October 26, 2026.<\/p>\n<h4>Is InfoFi dead?<\/h4>\n<p>The open pay-to-post version of InfoFi is dead on X. The model survives in selective creator marketplaces such as Kaito Studio, and Kaito kept its analytics products running.<\/p>\n<h4>What replaced Kaito Yaps?<\/h4>\n<p>Kaito Studio replaced it. Brands post campaigns with a defined scope and approved creators submit a price. The brand then chooses who to hire and signs with them directly.<\/p>\n<h4>How do creators join Kaito Studio?<\/h4>\n<p>Creators apply through Kaito, and Kaito decides who qualifies based on follower count, reach and impressions. Approved creators then quote on individual campaigns, and the brand makes the final choice.<\/p>\n<h4>How do you measure crypto mindshare now?<\/h4>\n<p>Track share of voice in your category, then check it against outcomes you control, such as conversions per creator, branded search, funded wallets and cost per outcome. A rise in share of voice with no movement in outcomes usually means the posts are paid noise.<\/p>\n<h4>What is Blockchain App Factory&#8217;s Earned Attention Loop?<\/h4>\n<p>It is a four-stage model for creator campaigns: Select, Brief, Spread and Prove. Each stage replaces something a leaderboard used to do automatically, so the campaign keeps working when a platform changes its rules.<\/p>\n<h2>A note on this guide<\/h2>\n<p>This guide is for teams planning crypto creator and KOL campaigns in 2026.
