Kaito launches capital launchpad for community-led web3 fundraising

Kaito, the AI-driven crypto data intelligence platform, has unveiled its Capital Launchpad, a community-first fundraising platform aimed at transforming how early-stage Web3 projects raise capital. The platform is set to go live later this week, according to a July 21 post on X.

Rather than adopting a first-come, first-served model common in traditional token sales, Capital Launchpad will use a multi-criteria allocation system that rewards contributors based on their social reputation, regional ties, onchain behaviour, and long-term alignment with project goals. The objective is to foster a transparent, merit-based fundraising approach that places community values at the forefront.

Structured allocation and full disclosure for fair access

Kaito says that each participating project will publicly disclose essential fundraising information including valuation, fundraising target, and vesting timelines ahead of any user commitment. Following an internal allocation round conducted by the project teams, any remaining tokens may be made available in an open second phase.

The allocation framework will be directly integrated with Kaito’s Yapper Leaderboard and Yap Points system, giving socially active users on X (formerly Twitter) additional recognition during fundraising rounds. These tools, already part of Kaito’s ecosystem, track community engagement and influence in real time.

Kaito to redistribute platform fees to its community

In a move that reaffirms its community-centric ethos, Kaito announced that all platform-generated fees will be redistributed to users through an upcoming gKAITO mechanism. Although details on gKAITO’s exact implementation remain forthcoming, the goal is to return value to the very participants who contribute to the platform’s success.

In preparation for the launch, users can start verifying their identity through Persona’s KYC process starting July 22. This compliance step ensures that all launches on the platform meet regulatory standards.

Part of Kaito’s larger community and data strategy

Founded in 2022, Kaito has been building a suite of crypto-focused tools including MetaSearch, Kaito Pro, and real-time search analytics. The platform uses AI to map social graphs, monitor sentiment, and track onchain behaviours all critical components in understanding how Web3 communities operate and grow.

The Capital Launchpad initiative aligns with Kaito’s mission to promote community ownership and decentralised participation in Web3 ecosystems. Its Yaps rewards program already recognises users for sharing valuable insights across social channels, while its recent partnership with Bybit included more than $1 million in incentives, underscoring its influence in the space.

With Capital Launchpad, Kaito seeks to give users early access to token rounds typically reserved for insiders while enabling projects to attract values-aligned backers from the outset. By replacing speculative hype with structured community metrics, the platform may signal a new phase for Web3 fundraising one grounded in authentic participation and data transparency.
