Kaito AI founder Yu Hu announced the discontinuation of Yaps and its incentive leaderboard mechanism, introducing Kaito Studio as a new strategic direction. The platform will transition from a permissionless, open incentive distribution model to a creator distribution and marketing system based on selection and tiered collaboration. Kaito Studio will enable brands to select qualified creators and offer data analytics, multi-platform distribution, and cross-industry collaboration capabilities, covering sectors such as crypto, finance, and AI. This change will not affect Kaito Pro, Kaito API, Kaito Launchpad, or the upcoming Kaito Markets, with the team working closely with partners to ensure a smooth transition.
