Kaito AI token airdrop faces $98.8K claim fee and sell-off fears

Kaito AI, which brands itself as the "ultimate Web3 information platform," has set aside nearly 20% of its token supply for future airdrops and incentives, sparking both enthusiasm and concerns among early adopters.

The platform is launching its first airdrop, allocating 10% of the total token supply to early community members and ecosystem participants.

According to Kaito AI, 56.6% of the total supply will go to the community and ecosystem, with 19.5% specifically reserved for initial and long-term airdrops and incentives.

A fixed fee of 0.0015 ETH (CRYPTO:ETH), equivalent to $4.1, is required to claim the tokens, which has already generated 36 ETH ($98,800).

Marcin Kazmierczak, co-founder and COO of RedStone (CRYPTO:REDSTONE), said Kaito is introducing new dynamics to the crypto marketing industry.

"Currently, I do not know a single serious marketer that wouldn’t use Kaito stack," Kazmierczak stated, highlighting Kaito's "Smart Followers" metric, which tracks engagement from respected crypto accounts.

Concerns have arisen regarding Kaito's tokenomics, particularly the insider allocation, which could create selling pressure after the airdrop.

On-chain investigator RunnerXBT reported that 43.3% of Kaito’s total supply is designated for insiders, with 35% allocated to the team and 8.3% to early investors.

Kazmierczak said Kaito’s airdrop structure is designed to prevent farming, with distribution based on the number of "Yaps" collected and Kaito genesis NFTs held at the snapshot.

Anndy Lian, an intergovernmental blockchain expert, suggested that Kaito’s token could experience hype-driven spikes followed by sharp declines.

"As for Kaito itself, I see a classic pattern: big hype, big spike, then a massive sell-off," Lian stated.
