The airdrop scene isn’t what it used to be. Back then, you could grind a few testnets or swap on some obscure chain and walk away with hundreds of dollars.

But lately? Most airdrop farmers are putting in hours only to earn dust. Meanwhile, Binance Alpha users and big influencers keep getting the lion’s share of every new project drop.

Then the Kaito AI’s “Yapping” meta came in, a platform that rewards users with points (and later, tokens) just for tweeting about supported crypto projects.

In the beginning, it felt like easy money. Some people made thousands of dollars just for tweeting consistently and gaining traction.

But currently, with everyone jumping on the train and leaderboards dominated by huge accounts, the question is real:

Is yapping on Kaito still worth it, especially if you’re just starting out? Let’s break it down.

What is “Yapping” on Kaito?

Yapping simply means tweeting about crypto projects supported by the Kaito platform.

These can be original tweets, quote tweets, or even replies, as long as they add value to a conversation.

But here’s the catch: not every tweet earns points.

Kaito uses AI to analyze your tweets and reward you with something called Yap Points. These points are based on:

• How engaging your post is (likes, saves, replies)
• How original or insightful your content is
• Who interacts with your post (Kaito calls this your “smart followers”)

The better your post performs, the more Yap Points you earn.

Now, why does Yap points matter?

Kaito ranks every user on a public leaderboard.

Each “season”, the top 1,000 yappers get better rewards, larger airdrop allocations, and extra benefits from partner campaigns.

The platform also hosts special campaigns, called Mindshare Arenas, where projects give away tokens or prizes to the most active and engaging yappers.

So in theory, the more you tweet (and the better your tweets are), the more Yap points you earn, increasing your chances of being rewarded for your efforts.

What Made Kaito Work (Especially Early On)

When Kaito launched, not many people were using it. That gave early users a massive advantage.

Even small accounts with consistent content could rank on the leaderboard and win rewards.

On top of that, Kaito introduced Loudio, a partner platform where top yappers split weekly revenue from token trading fees.

One week, the top 25 yappers earned a share of thousands of dollars in SOL just by being active on X .

So yes, early adopters made real money. And it felt revolutionary – finally, a way to turn tweets into income.

But things have changed. Today, Kaito is a lot more crowded. Everyone knows about it, and it feels like only the big accounts are winning.

The leaderboards are filled with CT influencers, some with hundreds of thousands of followers. And that makes things tougher for someone who’s just starting out.

Here’s why:

• More users = more competition. It’s harder to break into the top 1,000
• Quality matters more than quantity. Spammy tweets won’t earn you points
• Influencers have the edge. If a big account likes or replies to your tweet, it boosts your “smart follower” score, and that helps them get ahead faster

So, is the game rigged? Not necessarily. But you’ll need to be smart about how you approach it.

5 Ways to Win on Kaito (Even as a Small Account)

If you’re just starting out, don’t panic. There are still strategies you can use to stand out, even without a huge following.

1. Only Post Quality Content

Don’t just tweet for the sake of it. Share value.

Create short threads that explain trends, break down projects, or give helpful insights.

Use charts, screenshots, or solid visuals to make your content more engaging.

Even a meme can work if it’s smart, relevant, and timely.

Use free tools (Canva, Notion charts) to add a graphic or quick screen‑recording.

End each thread with a question to spark replies. Interestingly, X’s algorithm gives replies twice the weight of likes, boosting your impression rate.

2. Choose Less Competitive Campaigns

Some projects on Kaito have thousands of yappers. Others? Just a few hundred.

Focus on the less crowded campaigns. You’ll have a much better chance of getting noticed and earning points. And the rewards can still be just as good.

If a campaign has fewer than 500 yappers, it’s a good opportunity.

3. Engage With Bigger Accounts

Want to grow fast on Kaito? Get noticed by Smart-Followers.

These are top-ranked users whose engagement, likes, replies, and quotes carries extra weight in Kaito’s algorithm.

When they interact with you, it boosts your score and helps you earn more Yaps.

Here’s the playbook:

• Follow 20–30 high-ranked yappers in your niche
• Turn on notifications
• Reply within the first hour with something thoughtful, funny, or insightful
• Skip “Great thread bro”, make solid contribution or unique takes

4. Build or Join a “Yapper Circle”

Kaito can tell when people are genuinely engaging with your content.

And when that engagement starts compounding across your threads? That’s when your Yaps really start stacking.

But as a small account, you may struggle to achieve this alone. Build your circle. Grow together. Win together. Here’s how:

Upgrade to X Premium. X Premium quietly gives your content a boost in replies, visibility, and algorithm reach.

Now, use that to your advantage by either starting a public Community on X, or joining one where other yappers are active, to gain consistent support and engagement around your content fellow yappers.

5. Make Your First Tweet Count, Be Consistent

Sometimes, one good opening tweet is all you need to move from 200 views to over 20,000. That’s how powerful it is.

Your first tweet is very important. That’s what makes people stop and pay attention or just scroll past.

Even Smart-Followers and the algorithm see that first tweet before anything else.

So make it strong. Start with something bold. It can be a hot take, a surprising stat, or a simple question that pulls people in.

Avoid saying too much at once. Keep it sharp and interesting.

But it doesn’t stop there. You can’t post once and disappear. Forget trying to go viral every time. That one-hit strategy doesn’t work on Kaito.

What works is showing up. Post three to four times a week, even if it’s just one thread or one sharp reply. Just keep going.

The more consistent you are, the more the algorithm starts to notice you.

What if Kaito still feels too competitive? Well, there’s an alternative. Full gist in the next part.

Wallchain Might Just Be the Kaito Alternative You Need

If Kaito feels too saturated right now, there’s another platform to explore: Wallchain.xyz.

It’s newer, invite-only, and less competitive but still built on a similar tweet-to-earn model.

Wallchain rewards users with “Quacks” (their point system) and focuses more on quality than follower count.

Because it’s still early, smaller accounts have a much better shot at standing out and earning future airdrops.

Think of it like getting into Kaito before it blew up. Follow AchillasCrypt on X to learn how to make it big on Wallchain.

But, is yapping still worth it?

It depends. If you’re willing to put in effort, learn what works, and stay consistent, yapping can still be worth it.

But it’s no longer a “get-rich-quick” game. You won’t win by spamming tweets or copying others. You’ll win by being thoughtful, creative, and consistent.

And honestly? If you’re already posting about crypto on X, there’s no reason not to yap smart and earn something back.

Conclusion

Kaito might not be the gold rush it once was, but it’s still one of the few platforms where your voice can earn you real rewards, if you play it right.

If you’re unsure where to start, try this:

• Pick one project on Kaito with low competition
• Post one solid tweet or thread per day
• Engage with others in your niche
• Consider testing Wallchain at the same time

You’ll learn what works. And who knows? You might land your first airdrop before you know it.

The Yapping Meta isn’t dead. It’s just matured. Now it’s up to you to decide how loud you want to be.

Aside from airdrops, you should also consider trading the financial markets. One of the top options out there is Synthetic Indices.

You don’t have to start with real money yet, use a demo account first and practice until you understand how the market works.

To wrap up, what do you think about tweeting to earn Yaps?
