Kaito AI Launches KAITO Token to Power AI-Driven Attention Economy

According to Friday’s announcement, the KAITO token will serve as the foundational currency for Kaito’s information finance ecosystem, which seeks to address inefficiencies and inequities in how attention is monetized across digital platforms. By leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and decentralized market mechanisms, the project aims to shift value distribution from centralized platforms to creators, users, and brands.

Current attention economies often prioritize platform profits over fair compensation, the white paper argues. Social media algorithms create echo chambers, while creators receive minimal revenue shares and users are unpaid for their engagement. Kaito claims its protocol, Yaps—launched in December 2024—has already enabled projects to tokenize attention for rewards and Social finance applications.

Information finance, a concept cited by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, uses market forces to allocate attention transparently. KAITO’s AI algorithms tokenize hard-to-measure engagement metrics, such as brand sentiment or niche topic popularity, creating tradable assets. This approach aims to replace opaque platform algorithms with decentralized decision-making, letting markets determine content value.

KAITO fulfills three core roles: incentivizing market participation via token rewards, acting as the network’s primary currency, and enabling community governance. Holders can vote on protocol upgrades, ensuring alignment with user interests. The system also tackles the “long-tail problem” by using AI to analyze fragmented data, like shifts in NFT trends or brand perception over time.

Kaito AI envisions Information finance progressing from disorganized data to AI-curated systems and finally to market-driven distribution. The white paper notes additional tokenomics details will follow. Naval Ravikant’s assertion that “attention is the currency of life” anchors Kaito’s thesis: in an era of AI-generated content overload, fairly valuing attention is both urgent and viable.
