The leaderboard incentivizes "yappers" – users who actively engage with crypto content on X – with token perks and ecosystem benefits.

Momentum was already building after Kaito founder Yu Hu announced on May 5 the launch of the "Earn and Drop" campaign, with the first collaboration featuring PayFi Network's BOOP.

The initiative coincided with a significant analytics update, as Kaito added Total Value Distributed data to its Dune Analytics dashboard, increasing transparency around token incentives and ecosystem activity.

Total Value Distributed (TVD) – now added to our Dune dashboard.

So far, over $71M of rewards from ecosystem projects have been distributed to yappers, stakers & hodlers, and that’s excluding the $KAITO airdrop.

And, it’s only been ~5 months since the launch of Yaps.

According to the updated Dune analytics data, over $72.3 million in rewards have been distributed across the Kaito ecosystem to yappers, stakers, and hodlers. This excludes the upcoming KAITO airdrop.

The project now has more than 200,000 monthly active users, highlighting the rapid expansion of the Web3 social platform.

Technical Analysis: Overheated Yet Bullish

Technically, Kaito is showing classic signs of a breakout rally. As per the chart below, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart is currently at 89.95, placing it in overbought territory.

Such readings may precede short-term corrections or consolidations, but they also reflect strong bullish momentum.

However, the MACD is still in a bullish crossover, with the MACD line sharply above the signal line and increasing green histogram bars, indicating sustained upside pressure.

Fibonacci analysis indicates that the rally hit the 1.618 extension level at $1.42, which could act as immediate resistance.

A breakout above this level could open the door to further gains towards the 2.0 fib level at $1.60 or even the 2.618 fib at $1.70. On the downside, support lies at the 0 fib level, around $1.15, and the 0.618 fib at $1.00.
