Important recent news about KAITO:

1️⃣ Core platform functions face adjustments, business model change X platform has tightened API access policies for reward posting applications, directly impacting KAITO’s operations. The KAITO founder announced a gradual discontinuation of the two core features, Yaps and the incentive leaderboard, and will introduce Kaito Studio as a replacement. The new platform will shift towards a model closer to traditional tiered marketing, where brands must selectively collaborate with creators based on established standards and clear project scopes. This major shift means the previously permissionless distribution system is no longer feasible, and the ecosystem incentive mechanism faces structural restructuring. While this move helps comply with X platform policies, it may negatively affect user experience and ecosystem activity in the short term, serving as a direct trigger for recent price declines.

2️⃣ Systemic pressure from tightened X platform policies The X team officially revised developer API policies, prohibiting any reward-based user posting applications from accessing the API, aiming to address the proliferation of AI spam on the platform. As a platform reliant on X social media data and user incentive mechanisms, KAITO has been directly restricted. This policy change not only constrains the platform’s growth potential but also weakens its core competitive advantages, increasing selling pressure due to investor concerns about sustainability.

3️⃣ Recent token unlock pressure KAITO will unlock approximately 2.86 million tokens on January 20th, valued at about $1.8 million. Large-scale token unlocks typically exert pressure on liquidity and prices. The market may have already priced in this anticipated risk, intensifying recent selling pressure.
