Hold onto your hats, crypto fans! A highly anticipated airdrop just took an unexpected turn, revealing the digital wallets of some of the biggest influencers in the crypto space – and even ranking them by their apparent net worth. The token at the center of this buzz? Kaito (KAITO), the driving force behind Yap-to-Earn, an innovative rewards program. Yap-to-Earn incentivizes influencers to connect their X (formerly Twitter) accounts via API to Kaito, linking their tweets with the token.

Shortly after the clock struck 7am in New York, Kaito protocol launched on Coinbase’s Base blockchain and quickly began trading, hitting a staggering market capitalization of around $1 billion. The token’s value surged even higher, rallying by 50% within the first hour. However, since that initial spike, the price has been steadily trending downwards.

While the somewhat lackluster performance of Kaito’s airdrop launch is a story in itself, it’s arguably overshadowed by a much bigger revelation. By eagerly claiming their KAITO tokens, prominent key opinion leaders (KOLS)—the very individuals who command the attention of massive social media followings—inadvertently exposed their precious Ledger, Trezor, and MetaMask wallet addresses for anyone and everyone to scrutinize and analyze.

The crypto community has been quick to react. Blockchain researchers have already sprung into action, developing public leaderboards. These leaderboards openly rank and list the usernames of some of crypto’s most recognizable figures, based on the size of their airdrop claim. Notably, Ansem currently sits in third place among claimants. He is just ahead of the rather unfortunate ZoomerBoomer, who, in a display of remarkable market timing (or lack thereof), immediately market-sold his airdrop, triggering a dramatic flash crash that sent the price tumbling from $1.04 down to $0.68 – hitting the day’s low point with uncanny precision.

Ethereum educator Sassal, boasting a massive following of 275,000 on X, stepped into the airdrop ring and claimed the sixth-largest allocation. Hot on his heels is IcoBeast, who with his own substantial 36,000 followers, also participated.

The list of crypto personalities who have inadvertently “self-doxxed” their wallets through the Kaito airdrop continues to grow, including names like Ignas, Mteam, and Mike Dudas, amongst others.

While chasing airdrops can seem like a golden opportunity to grab some free crypto, this incident serves as a stark reminder: claiming tokens often means revealing your wallet’s identity, not just to the project team, but to anyone equipped with a blockchain explorer.

It’s also worth remembering that the world of airdrops isn’t without its dangers. History is littered with examples of fake or malicious airdrops engineered to compromise wallet security. These scams often trick users into granting unnecessary permissions that can pave the way for fund theft.

As of 12:30pm New York time today, a significant portion of the airdrop had already been claimed. Traders had snapped up 26.1 million KAITO (KOLS) tokens out of the total 30 million allocated for the giveaway. In total, the founders earmarked 3% of the entire KAITO supply for this airdrop event.
