The new product ties creator payouts to measurable results using Kaito’s X data agreement, while KAITO has risen nearly 120% in a month amid heavier retail and futures activity.
Kaito introduced Kaito Katalyst, a creator incentive product that lets projects pay for marketing based on measured outcomes rather than flat campaign spending, using metrics such as mindshare, clicks, registrations, deposits and on-platform activity. The company said settlement is supported by its data agreement with X, Brevis verification architecture and Kaito’s attribution infrastructure, and that the platform has been piloted over the past two months with AI labs, consumer AI apps, smart hardware companies, and crypto and financial businesses. For TGE projects, Kaito is offering a zero-service-fee structure that requires an additional refundable deposit outside the reward pool to lock in funding commitments. The launch coincided with a sharp rise in the KAITO token, which climbed nearly 120% in a month from below $0.50 to as high as $1.30 before trading around $1.26, helped by retail-led buying, higher open interest and market attention around the X-linked catalyst.
