Humanity Protocol Teams Up with Kaito to Issue Yapper Credentials

Kaito, an AI-driven Web3 information platform, and Humanity Protocol, a pioneering decentralized identity network, today announced a strategic partnership to enhance self-sovereign identity verification across the crypto ecosystem. Once the integration is live, Kaito will serve as an official Identity Validator on Humanity Protocol, responsible for issuing “Yapper Credentials” to categorize crypto users into distinct tiers:

• Inner CT – Recognized and influential members of the Crypto Twitter (CT) community.

• Emerging CT – Up-and-coming contributors making a mark in the space.

• Yapper – General Kaito users who have signed up but do not yet fall into the above categories.

Kaito users who sign up for Humanity Protocol's testnet and connect their X (formerly Twitter) accounts will automatically receive the Yapper Credential once it launches. Additionally, these users will qualify for an extra 50% in airdrop allocation, incentivizing participation and decentralized identity adoption. Smart follower accounts can leverage reputation and credential sources like on-chain activity, governance participation, and verified social connections to enhance trust and utility across the ecosystem. Once live in Humanity Protocol's mainnet phase, dApps can use zero-knowledge proofs to verify that a user is in the Inner CT and has over a certain number of followers without revealing their exact follower count or any other personal details.

Your credentials will be crucial when Humanity Protocol launches its mainnet, unlocking seamless cross-platform interoperability and ensuring your identity travels with you across the decentralized ecosystem. Kaito VC credentials will be issued after the mainnet launch.

Kaito Overview

Kaito is revolutionizing the way crypto users navigate and analyze information in the Web3 space. As an AI-powered research assistant, Kaito aggregates, processes, and delivers high-quality insights from a vast array of sources, including research papers, news articles, social media discussions, and blockchain data.

One of Kaito’s standout products is the Yapper Leaderboard, which ranks the most influential voices in crypto discussions, primarily from X (formerly Twitter). By analyzing engagement, relevance, and expertise, Kaito helps surface the most valuable contributors to ongoing conversations. This feature ensures that industry leaders, researchers, and analysts can stay informed through high-quality discourse rather than noise and speculation.

Beyond ranking top Yappers, Kaito also empowers users with AI-driven tools to streamline their research. Whether it's surfacing key insights, identifying emerging trends, or synthesizing complex topics, Kaito enables users to make informed decisions quickly.

Interoperability Across Blockchains

A core feature of this initiative is cross-chain interoperability. Yapper Credentials issued on Humanity Protocol adhere to decentralized identity standards, making them portable and usable across multiple blockchains. This means users who earn an “Inner CT” or “Emerging CT” credential from Kaito will hold cryptographic proof of that status, recognized across Web3 applications, governance systems, and decentralized platforms.

By enabling verifiable credentials that extend beyond Humanity Protocol, this collaboration enhances sybil resistance, reputation-based access, and trust-based engagements throughout the crypto space.

A New Era of Decentralized Identity

This partnership advances both platforms’ core missions and signals a major step forward for decentralized identity in Web3. Kaito’s community-centric credentials, combined with Humanity Protocol’s proof-of-humanity framework, will bolster trust and transparency in online interactions. Users will benefit from richer identity profiles that are secure, privacy-preserving, and globally interoperable.

Moving forward, Kaito and Humanity Protocol will continue working together to unlock new use cases for decentralized identity, reputation-based engagement, and community-driven validation, reinforcing a shared vision of a trusted, user-centric, and connected decentralized web.
