katana x kaito is live
katana x kaito: leaderboard is live
infofi isn't dead. the only thing dead is your bags.
the time has come, samurai. the katana mindshare leaderboard is officially live. we’re teaming up with kaito to fill the bags of advocates who help spread the katana lore.
join the ranks of degens, who believe in defi that actually works for the user, to compete for a pool of 10,000,000 KAT. plus a monthly $20,000 in USDC for top creators.
a pre-season snapshot’s already been taken. if you’ve been yapping, you’re already getting rewarded.
but that was before the leaderboard was live. season 1 starts today. don’t forget to be active onchain, too 👀 and keep yapping
enter the kaito mindshare leaderboard
what is the season 1 mindshare leaderboard?
it’s simple: katana is live on kaito and this is the first season
a new leaderboard tracks the smartest, sharpest voices posting about katana on crypto twitter
how it works
a public leaderboard tallies winners through each season, powered by kaito.
scoring is automatic and multidimensional. kaito’s native LLM evaluates posters based on insight, originality, reputation, audience reach, consistency, and how well content spreads awareness about katana:
core features: vaultbridge, vbTokens, chain-owned liquidity (CoL), sequencer fees, AUSD & t-bill yield
core apps and assets: morpho, sushi, vertex, agora, lombard, etherfi, bitvault, jito, universal
pre-deposit campaign: turtle club, katana krates
yap on posts, threads, or memes to spread the katana word. kaito’s anti-farming logic filters out spam and coordinated engagement schemes, so only genuine contributors rise.
rewards structure
a pool of 10M KAT rewards are up for grabs throughout multiple seasons.
each season, a portion is allocated to the creators shaping katana’s narrative with real insights. each month, $20k in USDC is awarded to the top 25 creators, those consistently delivering novel, high-reach content.KAT is non-transferable until token unlock (feb 2026 at the latest). earn USDC now, claim KAT later. if you believe in the flywheel, this is your chance to get in early.
leaderboard fairness & expectations
we believe in open, spirited conversation. high-quality posts, critiques, memes, and insights all have a place here. this campaign is designed to reward real contributors with organic engagement. those who help explain the katana flywheel, spread awareness, and push defi forward.
but to keep it fair, we’ll step in when needed.
katana manually reviews the leaderboard each month. creators engaging in behavior kaito flags as manipulative or malicious, like coordinated engagement farming, spammy self-promotion rings, or aggressive attacks on others, may be removed from the rewards list.
this is rare. but when it happens, we’ll make the call. in most cases, we’ll reach out first and ask you to stop, and allow the opportunity for the you to appeal. if the behavior continues, or the pattern is clear, you may be excluded from the month’s rewards or the leaderboard all together.
what we’re looking for:
authentic conversation about katana’s mechanisms, apps, and ecosystem
education, critique, memes, and original POVs
curiosity, experimentation, and insight
what we’ll moderate:
engagement farming through coordinated like/retweet schemes
obvious spam or low-signal content
repeated behavior that drowns out others or harms community health
this campaign is about spotlighting the real ones. not witch hunts. not gatekeeping. not groupthink. just signal > noise.
why this matters
katana is building a sustainable, deep liquidity and high yield defi chain from the ground up.
kaito is building the infrastructure to track and reward real attention, not engagement bait.
together, they reward creators who:
educate, not shill
build conviction, not hype
help defi users understand the new flywheel
