ZachXBT Accuses Kaito of Inflating User Metrics Amid Crypto Community Scrutiny
Renowned blockchain investigator ZachXBT has targeted Kaito, a social media rewards platform, alleging inflated user metrics. The accusation follows Billions Network's claim of surpassing 1 million users through its Kaito partnership—a statement ZachXBT dismissed as "ridiculous" in a public rebuke.
Kaito's Yap token rewards system, initially touted for incentivizing quality content, now faces mounting criticism for fostering AI-generated spam. Despite algorithmic adjustments, the platform struggles to shed its reputation as a low-value content hub.
The controversy highlights growing tensions between transparency advocates and projects making unsubstantiated growth claims. While ZachXBT offered no forensic evidence in this instance, his intervention underscores the reputational risks for crypto ventures operating with questionable metrics.
