The crypto world exploded at the start of the year~ 2026 has just begun, and everyone is still staying up late refreshing for annual airdrops and waiting for various projects to recover, but @KaitoAI directly dropped a heavy bomb. The threshold for rankings has been significantly upgraded; now we need to pay attention to reputation and on-chain holdings~ This move has provided a vivid lesson for all the "mouth-labor" crowd, content creators, and project teams. To put it simply, Kaito is now focusing on real money and genuine participation. In the past, just posting frequently and getting likes and interactions was enough to climb the rankings, but that's no longer sufficient. You need to prove that you are a real person playing, with real money on-chain, and that you truly have influence. AI bots, robots, and airdrop hunters are now directly blocked at the door; the data is instantly much cleaner, and the value of creators can be better distinguished, making the feedback received by project teams more reliable. The most crucial part is that this step truly utilizes on-chain data. In a time when AI-generated content is rampant and anyone can generate a deep analysis in seconds, only verifiable real actions on-chain can serve as a true moat. Kaito's move is not just about preventing botting; it's also about laying the groundwork for the future. When everyone starts to doubt the authenticity of content, having on-chain identity backing means who would dare to compete with you? I fully support this~ The "mouth-labor" track has finally begun to filter out the fake. The era of daily spam posts and AI copy-pasting for rewards should come to an end. Only those who genuinely contribute content, truly hold projects, and genuinely accompany projects in their growth deserve to eat the biggest piece of the pie. This is a huge benefit for serious creators, for project teams, and for the entire ecosystem. Of course, some will say the threshold is too high for newcomers, but I believe this is what a healthy environment looks like. I would rather it be a bit slower and harder than let the track continue to be flooded with garbage. What do you think? Is this reform a timely rain or too strict? Feel free to battle in the comments~ I bet that by 2026, on-chain reputation will become standard for every player. To those who retweet my posts: I always try my best to engage with you.
