Kaito, the AI-powered crypto data platform, is set to launch its new crowdfunding initiative, Capital Launchpad, later this week. The announcement came via a post on X on July 21.
The platform is designed to connect crypto communities with promising early-stage projects through a structured allocation model that prioritizes fairness and transparency. Unlike typical first-come, first-served launches, Capital Launchpad will distribute fundraising allocations based on multiple criteria, including participants’ social reputation, regional ties, onchain activity, and their long-term alignment with project goals.
Projects listing on Capital Launchpad will be required to disclose key fundraising details – such as valuation, target raise amount, and vesting schedules – before users commit their funds. After an initial review round by project teams, any remaining allocations will be opened up in a subsequent public phase.
The platform will integrate with Kaito’s existing tools like the Yapper Leaderboard and Yap Points system to ensure that active contributors on X are recognized in allocation decisions. Additionally, all platform fees will be returned to the community through an upcoming gKAITO distribution program. Account preparation and know-your-customer (KYC) verification via Persona will open for users starting July 22.
Founded in 2022, Kaito has focused on building AI-driven data aggregation and analysis tools for crypto, such as MetaSearch and Kaito Pro. Its Yaps program and social leaderboards reward users for sharing valuable insights within the ecosystem. The company recently collaborated with Bybit on a campaign featuring over $1 million in rewards.
With Capital Launchpad, Kaito aims to deepen community ownership by giving users access to early token rounds while helping projects secure engaged, aligned backers from the outset.
In March, Upbit announced the listing of KAITO for trading against South Korea’s won, Bitcoin, and Tether’s USDT. The exchange cautioned users to use the correct network for deposits and withdrawals, as only the Base network is supported. It emphasized that transactions on other networks will not be processed.
