Kaito: The next large-scale airdrop like Arkham?

In 2023, Arkham, as a popular on-chain analysis platform, was completely free to use and airdropped at least $200 worth of ARKM tokens to all users.

Some people have even earned over $50,000 in airdrop rewards by referring other users to Arkham.

Kaito, as the most popular social analysis cryptocurrency platform, has just launched its points program, which reminds me of Arkham's points program.

To start earning Kaito points, you just need to:

  • Sign up for the points program here (free)

  • Engage actively on crypto Twitter (X)

Registration only requires connecting your X account.

Kaito is a platform that allows for easy analysis of the attention and sentiment surrounding certain topics or tokens on X.

How many Kaito points you can earn depends on your activity level on X and the importance and engagement of your posts.

Even if your X account doesn't have much influence, I think it's worth joining since it's free.

Here is Kaito's link.
