Kaito, the AI-powered crypto data platform, has announced the launch of its Capital Launchpad, a new community-oriented crowdfunding platform set to go live later this week.
According to a July 21 post on X, Capital Launchpad is designed to connect communities with early-stage crypto projects through a structured and transparent allocation process. It builds on Kaito’s (KAITO) existing tools, which include social graph mapping, sentiment analytics, and community engagement tracking.
Instead of using a first-come, first-served strategy, the platform will allow projects to distribute funds according to several criteria. These include social reputation, regional affiliation, onchain activity, and long-term alignment with the project’s goals.
Projects will also disclose crucial fundraising terms, such as valuation, target raise, and vesting schedules, prior to users committing funds. After an initial round of review by project teams, remaining allocations may be offered during a follow-up open phase.
To ensure that active contributors on X are acknowledged during the allocation process, the platform will also interface with already-existing Kaito tools like the Yapper Leaderboard and Yap Points.
Kaito will return all platform fees to its community through an upcoming gKAITO distribution mechanism. Users will be able to prepare their accounts and complete know-your-customer procedures starting July 22.
The new platform reflects Kaito’s focus on community ownership. Founded in 2022, Kaito has built a suite of tools, including MetaSearch and Kaito Pro, focused on crypto data aggregation, analysis, and real-time search.
Its Yaps program and social leaderboard reward users for sharing insights, and the company recently partnered with Bybit on a major campaign involving over $1 million in incentives.
With Capital Launchpad, Kaito aims to give users access to early token rounds while helping projects reach aligned backers from day one. All launches will be subject to compliance checks via Persona’s identity verification system.
