What is "Yaps"?

In the process of participating in cryptocurrency discussions, people can earn points through Kaito's Yaps Points Program. "Yaps" claims that the system focuses on authentic, high-quality discussion participation, and uses advanced AI technology to measure the value and impact of content. This article explains how to earn Yaps, common questions, and details of how the scoring mechanics work.

Yaps, in addition to being a potential useful tool, what really drives the community crazy is the expectation of turning attention into cash.

"Yaps": Yapping, muttering

The name "Yaps", slang Yapping, refers to the act of speaking rudely for long periods of time to an uninterested audience, causing discomfort, annoyance, or dissatisfaction. This may also show the behavior of cryptocurrency KOLs on Twitter, such as chattering, dry talking, outputting imaginary views, and repetitive biased views. Although "Yaps" claims to be primarily about finding high-quality content, perhaps from its name, "community attention" may be more important.

How to earn Yaps points?

What are the advantages and limitations of Kaito Yaps Points Program?

Kaito Yaps Product Advantages

High-quality incentive mechanism for participation: Kaito's Yaps point system focuses on the 'quality' rather than the 'quantity' of content, avoiding many drawbacks of traditional point systems and preventing users from 'gaming' the system by posting duplicate or spam content. This design promotes valuable discussions and is a positive force for the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Cross-lingual: Kaito not only supports English, but also is compatible with multiple regional languages, and plans to deploy language models to bridge cultural differences in content, making it more internationally appealing.

Integrating AI evaluation content: Through LLM, content filtering and evaluation can effectively eliminate low-value or garbage content, ensuring a high level of user experience. At the same time, it has innovative indicators such as 'Smart Followers' and 'Mindshare'.

Simplified user process: The verification system is designed reasonably, and users only need to verify their Twitter account for the first time to continuously accumulate points, reducing the complexity of operations, which is very important for improving user stickiness.

Recommendation system: Kaito's recommendation point mechanism is transparent, and users can clearly track the calculation method and update frequency of recommendation points, which to some extent enhances user trust.

Product Limitations

Fuzziness of scoring criteria: Although Kaito emphasizes the quality of content and the weighted influence of reputation, the specific scoring logic may not be transparent enough for users. For example, users may find it difficult to understand why certain tweets are not included in the score, which may cause confusion and frustration.

Not user-friendly for new users: New users may have difficulty earning points quickly due to a lack of initial reputation, which can make beginners feel unfair to some extent and reduce their enthusiasm for participation.

Non-mainstream content may be overlooked: Although Kaito claims not to favor specific topics, mainstream cryptocurrency topics may still have a greater influence. For users discussing niche or emerging projects, it may be difficult to earn points that match their contributions.

Challenges in market education: The Yaps system is a new mechanism based on the weight of quality and reputation. However, the market may not be familiar enough with this innovation. Kaito may need to invest more effort in market education to help users understand and adapt to this new scoring model.

Kaito provides information search and insights for the Web3 era

Kaito claims to be a next-generation information platform focused on Web3, capable of indexing a wide range of content sources that traditional search engines have difficulty accessing. These sources include social media, governance forums, research reports, news articles, podcasts, conference records, and other diverse data.

AI Integration as the main feature

Kaito claims that with advanced artificial intelligence technology as the core, it extracts actionable insights from massive amounts of unstructured data and transforms them into user-friendly search results. This not only improves the accessibility of information, but also greatly optimizes the user's decision-making process.
