Yu Hu, founder of Kaito AI, is calling for a major rethink in how the crypto industry handles token distribution, urging stakeholders to adopt smarter incentives, harness better data, and widen participation across user segments.
In a recent public statement, Hu outlined what he sees as the core principles of effective token distribution. He emphasized that distribution should reward users not for speed or speculation but for long-term conviction and alignment with a project’s goals. Furthermore, he noted that the industry must begin to treat unincentivized behaviors as strong signals of value, while ensuring that the path to participation remains accessible and relevant to a broader community.

To support this shift, Hu believes the sector must invest in advanced data analytics capable of identifying meaningful user behaviors. This, he explained, should be combined with intentional mechanism design that brings these behaviors to the surface. Additionally, he stressed the importance of resetting expectations for both project builders and users around what fair participation looks like in modern crypto ecosystems.
This, according to Hu, is a critical juncture for the industry. Token incentives are central to most crypto networks, and the sector must evolve beyond outdated models if it is to stay aligned with the decentralized ethos it champions.
Looking ahead, Hu argued that as token adoption increases globally, the industry must mature in step. He urged crypto founders to think beyond infrastructure and begin shaping new coordination systems—ones where tokens power collaborative, global economies.
Supporting this vision, Kaito AI launched its new crowdfunding platform, Capital Launchpad. Set to go live later this week, the platform will connect crypto communities with early-stage projects through a fairer, more transparent allocation model. Unlike conventional first-come, first-served launches, Capital Launchpad aims to prioritize inclusivity and structured access, reinforcing the broader vision Hu has laid out for the future of token distribution.
