Kaito's operating model is essentially an information intermediary—project teams pay, KOLs handle promotion, and the platform takes a commission. This model seems to make quick money, but it has a fatal flaw: over-reliance on a single social platform. As long as that platform changes its rules or adjusts its algorithms, the entire ecosystem could collapse instantly.

Recently, the performance of $KAITO has confirmed this. The token dropped 15% in a short period, and the staking rewards for holders shrank accordingly. This not only reflects the market's re-pricing of project risks but also reminds us—projects that are entirely bound to a single channel are often much more vulnerable to risks than we imagine. A sustainable business model requires diversified revenue streams and stronger self-sustaining capabilities.

One word, crisp. What information intermediaries fear most is the disappearance of the middlemen; the ending has already been written.

Honestly, Kaito is just a fragile project hanging by a thread.

To be honest, the routine of information intermediaries should have been over long ago. Relying on a single platform is indeed a dead end. --- $KAITO dropping 15% is not surprising at all. This kind of model has zero resilience against shocks. --- Another project that’s "GG" once the platform changes rules—just looking at it is exhausting. --- Projects without diversified income sources are doomed no matter what they say. --- Staking yields shrinking... how frustrated must the holders be right now? --- It feels like Kaito has had a bomb planted long ago, just waiting for the right moment to explode. --- I used to think information intermediaries could last long-term, now I understand. --- Once this wave of decline hits, they’ll probably shake out another round of retail investors. --- If you’re poor at risk management, don’t pretend to be part of the ecosystem. Just admit you’re here to cut the leeks—that’s more honest. --- Binding to a single channel, to put it bluntly, is systemic risk.

I think this is a dead end. The intermediary model is originally based on exploiting information asymmetry. Once the platform changes its stance, the game is over.

Basically, it's just exploiting information asymmetry, and it won't last long.
