Kaito AI said it will upgrade its staking system and adjust reward distribution. The company said that in 2025, each KAITO staked would generate a $1.64 return, with an annualized yield of about 136%. According to Foresight News, the upgrade will change reward allocation in three ways: it will add an opt-in eligibility mechanism before allocation is finalized, which is expected to roughly double the amount distributed; it will waive fees for pre-TGE token campaigns so more projects can join airdrops, which is expected to double project participation; and it will require stakers to keep staking throughout the full campaign period to receive airdrop rewards, giving long-term stakers more returns.

Kaito AI also said most airdrop campaigns still require a minimum stake of 5,000 sKAITO. Yapybara NFT holders can receive a 10% allocation multiplier, while smaller stakers can also participate in YT-sKAITO staking through Pendle pools.
