Kaito relaunches creator incentives with Pulse plugin, but privacy concerns cloud rollout

Kaito AI on Aug. 18 rolled out Kaito Pulse, a browser extension designed to tie X activity, on-chain behavior and social influence more closely together, while also naming Axis Robotics as the first partner project in its return to creator- and community-focused incentives. The product marks a shift away from the simpler Yaps-era model, where discussion volume on X was a key input, toward a broader framework built around attention and behavior verification. The extension is meant to surface more on-chain identity context directly inside the X timeline. According to the company’s product framing, users can view public trading positions and other on-chain activity tied to accounts, including information from platforms such as Polymarket and Hyperliquid, to compare posted views with actual market behavior. Kaito also introduced a new scoring system called Aura, which combines content influence, community interaction and verified on-chain behavior. That rollout quickly triggered debate. Ultra said in a post on X that an analysis of the plugin’s code suggested possible collection tied to device fingerprinting, X behavior tracking and third-party account verification. Kaito founder Yu Hu later responded that Pulse follows a data-minimization approach, does not obtain full account contents and does not store users’ raw data. He added that the product uses verification methods including zkTLS to prove certain identities or behaviors without exposing the underlying data.
