Kaito Founder Responds to Social Airdrop Controversy: Rules Highly Customizable, with the Final Solution Determined by the Project Based on Data

By: theblockbeats.news|2025/07/08 19:23:58

BlockBeats News, July 8th, Kaito founder Yu Hu this morning made the latest statement on Humanity's June 25th Kaito-related airdrop, explaining why some accounts, despite being active users (yappers) or stakers, did not receive the allocation. The participation requirements are as follows: all users must complete the Humanity website's palm verification before the airdrop check; stakers must link a wallet holding sKAITO or YT-sKAITO; active users must enter the claiming wallet address after the airdrop checker is released and before claiming starts; the Humanity team employed a strict anti-whale attack mechanism in the final allocation, mainly based on referral quality. Yu Hu stated that Kaito suggests that in the future, it will directly handle the final allocation of active users and the Kaito ecosystem to simplify the community claiming process.

Crypto KOL AB Kuai.Dong (@_FORAB) disclosed relevant information indicating that Eclipse officials issued a list filtering matrix number and blacklisting based on social data provided by Kaito for airdrop screening, with Humanity adding airdrop requirements on top of Kaito's list. According to Kaito founder Yu Hu's statement, the airdrop is still distributed by the project team and has not gone through Kaito. It is speculated that Eclipse officials believe that in the future, each project team will roughly reference Kaito data to independently generate social lists but will bypass Kaito (implying that Kaito has no barrier).

Kaito founder Yu Hu once again responded to the speculation that "project teams may bypass Kaito to independently generate social lists": each project will receive a complete social data analysis provided by Kaito at the snapshot time, each project will make the final allocation based on the data, its own project preferences, and Kaito's reference opinions, and the rules are highly customizable, as is the case with Eclipse. Humanity is a project that initially announced the need to complete fingerprint collection steps, but due to a lack of continuous reminders and a short time window for subsequent stacking, many users did not complete it for various reasons.
