Web3 natives are used to enjoying X as a platform for communicating with others.
- Projects, founders, builders, traders, artists, you name them, all web3 natives have X accounts for Twitter spaces, discussions, educational threads, and more.
To maximize what we do on X, there is now a platform that grants you crypto points for every discussion that you join.
Meet Yaps by Kaito
Yaps by Kaito lets users earn Yaps, which are in-app points, by just participating in crypto discussions on social media platform X.
- According to Kaito, Yaps are not designed to be easy to earn or solely based on volume, and earning these points is based on:
- Crypto relevance
- Real, reputation-weighted engagement
- Insightful, original & focused discussions (quality > quantity)
How It Works?
Users earn Yaps because Kaito uses a large language model (LLM) to judge whether a user’s content is of good quality and deserves to earn points.
- This LLM also has the ability to exclude low-effort content including spams.
- Moreover, it can also understand regional languages, so even non-English discussion can grant points.
- What’s Next? Kaito said that it is looking to deploy regional LLM models to better capture cultural nuances in different regions.
How to Create Yaps Account
- Step 2: Choose the “Get Started” or the “Sign In” button.
- Step 3: Create an account by connecting your X account.
- Step 4: Wait for Kaito to verify your account.
And that’s it. You are now ready to earn Yaps.
But what if you are yapping all the time and get no points? According to Kaito, it could be because of one of the three reasons:
- Kaito assesses 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
- The user’s content may not have been scored as sufficiently insightful or original by Kaito’s LLM-based evaluation
- Users simply spamming buzzwords without genuine context or depth won’t register as relevant.
So, How to Earn Crypto With Your Yaps?
In a Facebook post by ETH63 Core Member Paolo Dioquino, he shared that his Yaps can be turned into $1,178, or more than ₱68,000.
It is because Kaito offers Kaito Connect (https://yaps.kaito.ai/connect).
- Through Kaito Connect, users who already have Yaps can use their points to vote on the listed projects to be able to be on the leaderboard.
- According to Dioquino, some projects even offered him up to $2 per Yap just to be able to vote for their project.
- Thus, it is safe to say that Yaps earned by users can be sold in exchange for true money.
But Why Are Projects Willing to Pay for Yaps?
Because projects that will be on the leaderboard will enjoy the following benefits:
- A view of smart followers, allowing an alignment on who the right influencers to work with.
- Allows influencers and content creators to rise up the ranks in the leaderboard to earn yaps and get a potential collaboration with the protocol.
- Free publicity in the Kaito Ecosystem.
What is Kaito? It functions as an enterprise platform that aims to empower users across the web3 ecosystem by offering revolutionary information access and data-driven insights.
- Technically, Kaito indexes a wide range of web3 content that is not accessible through traditional search engines, including sources like social media, governance forums, research, news, podcasts, and conference transcripts, and more.
