What KAITO Is

KAITO is the native token of the Kaito ecosystem, an AI-driven "InfoFi" (information finance) platform that aggregates crypto-relevant data (social media, governance forums, etc.) and uses AI for search, sentiment analysis, and trend tracking [3], [4]. The project brands itself as "the intelligence and financial markets platform for the attention economy" [5]. Token functions cited by the project include influencing how attention is distributed within the ecosystem, acting as a medium of exchange, and decentralized governance [DOC-3]. Kaito reportedly serves ~200k monthly active users [6] and has raised ~$10.8M from Sequoia China, Dragonfly, Spartan, and others, with founders including Yu Hu drawn from Citadel long/short equity, hedge funds, and big tech [6].
