On August 7, 2026, Kaito AI announced a blockchain upgrade introducing a qualification-based staking system with TGE fee waivers and ongoing staking requirements. The network upgrade aims to double token allocations and increase airdrop participation. Stakers must maintain their positions throughout the cycle to qualify, with long-term holders receiving higher returns. Minimum eligibility for the airdrop begins at 5,000 sKAITO, and Yapybara NFT holders receive a 10% bonus. Small stakers can participate via Pendle’s YT-sKAITO pool.

ChainThink reports that on August 7, Kaito AI announced it will upgrade the Kaito staking system by adjusting the reward distribution mechanism in three areas: eligibility selection, fee waivers prior to TGE, and ongoing staking requirements.

Data shows that in 2025, staking 1 KAITO will yield a return of $1.64, representing an annualized yield of approximately 136%. Kaito AI expects that introducing an opt-in eligibility mechanism will nearly double the distribution amount;

After eliminating token fees prior to the TGE, the projected participation rate in the airdrop is expected to double. Additionally, stakers must maintain their staking throughout the entire period to qualify for airdrop rewards, with longer-term stakers receiving higher returns.

The minimum staking requirement for most airdrops remains 5,000 sKAITO, with Yapybara NFT holders receiving a 10% allocation multiplier boost; small stakers can participate in YT-sKAITO staking through Pendle pools.
