According to official news, Kaito announced the launch of Kaito Katalyst, a new reward layer aimed at creator activities, where project parties can pay based on the actual results brought by creators. This mechanism is based on Kaito's latest intelligence infrastructure and supports the distribution of rewards through various flexible criteria such as mind share, clicks, registrations, deposits, and platform activities. The underlying support comes from Kaito's data protocol with X, Brevis_zk's verification architecture, and its self-built attribution infrastructure.In the past two months, Kaito has conducted pilot tests in multiple companies across AI laboratories, consumer-grade AI applications, smart hardware companies, as well as in the cryptocurrency and financial sectors, with some projects set to launch soon. For TGE projects, Kaito has also introduced a dedicated format with no service fees: project parties must provide both a refundable deposit and a reward pool to ensure that creators are aware that funds are in place before the release. Each activity will announce the token distribution pool and attribution terms in advance, allowing creators to clearly understand the content and timing of their earnings.Under this mechanism, 80% of the token pool is allocated to creators who deliver actual results, while the remaining 20% is distributed to KAITO stakers and holders of YT-sKAITO on Pendle. Long-term holders and Yapybara holders can receive additional multiplier rewards. Kaito stated that this structure continues the Stakedrop mechanism that has been in operation since 2025, bringing approximately 136% annualized returns to the entire Kaito ecosystem. This model is also applicable to tokenized equity projects willing to use tokens or equity to accelerate growth.

ChainCatcher news, the Kaspa Ecosystem Foundation has announced the launch of the Katalyst Phase 1 ecological development plan with a total amount of $10 million. This plan aims to comprehensively promote the prosperity of the Kaspa ecosystem, covering various areas such as funding support, infrastructure construction, and education for users and developers.The Katalyst plan is divided into four strategic phases: sowing, germination, growth, and harvest. The first phase will kick off with the launch of the KRC20 protocol based on Kasplex on the mainnet on September 15.It is reported that Kasplex, as the infrastructure of Kaspa, aims to enable developers, artists, and influencers to easily launch projects on Kaspa. The Kaspa ecological protocol KRC20 allows users to issue, deploy, mint, and transfer fungible tokens on Kaspa.Previously, during a three-month internal testing and stress testing period, the KRC20 protocol successfully processed 90 million transactions. Among the successfully deployed projects, Meme accounts for the majority, including the early core founding researcher’s cat NACHO, among others. Other Kaspa ecological projects can also utilize KRC20 as a way to issue assets on their own chains, experiencing the performance advantages of Kaspa's fast network speed and low transaction fees.
