Original Article Title: "Non-KOLs Can Also Participate! How to Earn Project Airdrops through Writing, Based on Kaito?"
Original Article Author: Biteye Little Apprentice KiKi
Previously, when participating in airdrops, everyone only focused on the testnet and on-chain interactions. But now, with the rise of the "Yap-to-Earn" model, the opportunity has come for content creators!
This post will list 17 projects through which you can earn airdrops via Kaito! Ordinary users can also participate, so be sure to bookmark this.
01 Review: Well-Known Projects That Distributed Airdrops via Kaito
1.1 Project Overview
Over the past few months, some well-known projects have directly airdropped to creators through Kaito, with the most representative ones including EigenLayer, Berachain, Movement, Story, Anime, and Vly. EigenLayer was the first to use Kaito to airdrop to the Twitter community. Berachain later joined this trend, distributing 1.25 million $BERA to social contributors, with a clear statement that users who have received social airdrop qualifications and hold a Kaito Yaps account will receive additional bonuses. The annual big fur Movement also joined Kaito in these two months and, based on the Kaito leaderboard ranking, rewarded users who have contributed to the Move ecosystem.
The Story airdrop through Kaito rewards include Kaito Genesis NFT holders, high-quality Story-related content creators (Yappers), based on long-term contribution data since 2023, excluding short-term score-boosting users, and high-quality IP topic discussion participants selected through Kaito data.
The Anime airdrop through Kaito rewards ANIME Yap top 1000 users and Kaito Genesis NFT holders.
Vly (vly.money) also airdropped 10,000 $Like to each of the top 1000 Yapper KOLs on the Kaito Yap Vly leaderboard.
This also confirms a trend:
In the future, Yap contributors to the Kaito ecosystem, especially those active at the top of the leaderboard, will become the primary target group for new project airdrops. If you want to receive similar airdrops, now is the best time to engage with the Kaito platform and increase your Yap influence.
1.2 Evaluation Criteria for Project Team Airdrops
The airdrop for Kaito's partner projects is mainly based on the Yap List airdrop. So, how can a project enter the list? The core elements are roughly similar:
· Content Quality: Originality, depth of content, and topic relevance (such as technical analysis, investment logic analysis, etc.)
· Interaction Frequency: Number of interactions between tweets and KOL accounts, as well as the project's official account
· Reach: Number of likes, comments, retweets, and personal fan base of the tweets
· Strive to Enter the Top 500-100 List: According to past rules, the probability of receiving an airdrop for being in the top 1000 of the list is relatively high
02 What other pre-TGE projects from Kaito are worth paying attention to?
Looking ahead, there are still many high-quality unreleased projects on Kaito's pre-TGE that are worth paying attention to. These projects may all use Kaito's Yaps List as one of the airdrop criteria, so early positioning is recommended:
· 0G @0G_labs: 0G is a modular AI blockchain with a scalable and programmable DA layer suitable for AI dapps. You can share technical advantages of the deep analysis modular AI blockchain, among other content.
· Corn @use_corn: Using Bitcoin as Gas for an Ethereum L2 network, seed round funding of $6.7 million (led by Polychain). You could write about Corn's on-chain interaction tutorials and analysis articles on the integration of the Bitcoin ecosystem with L2.
· Defi App @defidotapp: Combines the powerful features of decentralized finance (DeFi) with the ease of use of traditional finance. With just one mobile app, you can buy and sell various digital assets, swap tokens across chains, or even trade stocks.

· Eclipse @EclipseFND: A customizable Rollup solution that is also backed by Polychain. You could share on-chain interaction guides for Eclipse, comparative analysis of modular Rollup with other L2 technologies, and ecosystem NFT analysis, among other content.
· Humanity @Humanityprot: Humanity Protocol is a anti-witch blockchain network that offers developers a unique human identity verification mechanism and gives users complete ownership of data and identity. You can discuss future trends in on-chain data privacy protection and decentralized identities (DIDs), among other topics.
· Hyperbolic @hyperbolic_labs: An open-source AI computation and inference service provider, committed to enabling innovators worldwide to equally access AI technology regardless of resources or geographic location.

· MegaETH @megaeth_labs: Building high-throughput and low-latency EVM-compatible Layer 2 solutions. Can provide insights into the current state of Ethereum ecosystem scalability, specific MegaETH scaling solutions, and technical advantages.
· Mitosis @MitosisOrg: A liquidity protocol for the modular era, aiming to redefine cross-chain liquidity. Can release analyses of cross-chain technical architectures and comparative assessments of existing cross-chain solutions.
· Monad @monad_xyz: A high-performance EVM-compatible Layer1 network, with $2.25 billion in funding and a $30 billion valuation. Can delve into Monad's technical strengths, ecosystem project progress, and publish investment value assessments.
· Multipli @multiplifi: A ZK-based multi-chain yield protocol that allows users to earn reliable yields on stable assets, native assets, and even traditional non-yield-bearing assets (such as BTC, MATIC, PAXG, etc.). Can release content on how ZK technology enhances the security and yield of cross-chain yield protocols.
· OpenLedger @OpenledgerHQ: A data blockchain designed for AI, providing a decentralized trust infrastructure to create Specialized Language Models (SLMs). Can output in-depth analyses of the differences and advantages between Specialized Language Models (SLMs) and traditional Language Models (LLMs).
· PARADEX @tradeparadex: A cryptocurrency derivatives exchange and the first application chain on Starknet. Can write guides on using trading products, trends in the derivatives market, and trading strategy analysis.
· Skate @skate_chain: A universal application layer that enables applications to run on thousands of single-state chains. Can provide an analysis of how Skate addresses the issue of fragmentation in the existing public chain ecosystem.
· Union @union_build: An efficient interoperability protocol that connects all blockchains and rollups in any ecosystem. Can provide an analysis of the Union protocol's cross-chain interoperability mechanism, compare Union's advantages with other cross-chain protocols (such as LayerZero), and share specific application case studies.
All of the above projects have joined the Kaito ecosystem. By releasing original analyses, technical comparisons, interactive tutorials, and other high-quality content, they can compete for a spot on the Kaito leaderboard and potentially receive airdrop rewards from future projects.
03 Will There Be Future Official Airdrops from Kaito?
Very likely! Previously, Kaito returned all Genesis NFT proceeds of 150 ETH to the community, with each of the top 1-500 contributors receiving 0.2 ETH and ranks 501-1000 receiving 0.1 ETH each. In the future, long-term creator incentives (7.5% share) will be allocated to reward high-ranking creators. Additionally, the platform's native token $KAITO may also be distributed through airdrops based on Yaps rankings.
Kaito has specifically reserved a portion of the token rewards to incentivize early participants in the Yapper Leaderboard and Yapper Launchpad ecosystem collaboration projects. These projects include Berachain, MegaETH, Story, Anime, Corn, and more. The Kaito team will collaborate with the teams of these projects to distribute these rewards collectively and ensure that these rewards are clearly delivered to specific users. This means that creators may have the opportunity to receive airdrops from Kaito and the project teams.
Therefore, by continuing to participate in Yaps points, you can not only receive airdrops from collaborating projects in the future but also be eligible for incentives from the Kaito platform itself.
04 Summary: The Spring of Creators Has Arrived
In the past few years, airdrops based on on-chain interactions were predominant. Now, Twitter creators are experiencing an unprecedented "Write to Earn" golden age. It's not just for KOLs; through Kaito, ordinary content creators can also monetize their value and ensure that their traffic does not go in vain.
Currently, the Kaito platform has been adopted by several high-profile projects as a key criterion for airdrop distribution, gradually becoming an industry benchmark. The era of creators is just beginning, and the next one to receive a generous airdrop could be you.
