[ @KaitoAI Journey to YAPS 100] Starting Yapping on May 27, 2025 Starting RE: Squirrel Thunder (2nd account) on June 27, 2025 Achieving YASP 100 on September 27, 2025 I achieved YAPS 100 and reflected on the past 4 months. In fact, I think I reached 100 points either yesterday or the day before. The reason I'm writing this a bit late is, to be honest, I have a hidden agenda of wanting views and engagement. I wanted to share my thoughts after seeing the famous group leaders and trading experts on Telegram, as well as talented newcomers, and to summarize my thoughts on the recent Yapping. ---- 1. Past Achievements What you might be more curious about than YAPS 100 is probably the actual Yapping profits. I haven't even reached the hundreds of millions, and if you combine everything, I've earned about 4 months' worth of an average salary for a person in their 30s. I didn't earn as much as the famous people, but I still think I was quite lucky. My first account got banned, but my second account grew even faster, and thanks to that, climbing the leaderboard was relatively easy. Of course, I put in effort too. At one point, I wrote over 900 comments, and I often posted more than 10 posts a day. This account has a total of 20,000 posts, and if you divide that roughly over 3 months, that's about 600 posts a day. I don't have any tricks, so I pushed through with quantity, and it's not necessary to go this far. --- 2. How Did I Build It? First of all, the method for Yaps is almost set. To summarize in one sentence, CT (Crypto Tweet) is important, but engagement from key project stakeholders or smart followers is everything. This KBW period was an unbelievable opportunity. I had no interest in what KBW was until last year, but after starting Yapping, it looked completely different. Since Web3 is relatively immature, there are ridiculous opportunities, and that opportunity is networking. Those who understood this moved very cleverly, and soon it became their social capital, and I witnessed with my own eyes how it empowered their accounts. In other words, those who operated existing Telegram channels or KOLs had to build their influence over several years, but these people could compress that influence on the game called Yapping set up by Kaito in a short period. Of course, how long this will last remains to be seen, but at least as long as Yapping continues under Kaito's rules, I believe it will show irreversible differences. So, is there no method? I would say that somehow making 'me' known seems to be the best approach, a vague answer. --- 3. Future of Yapping With 0g on Boundless, followed by Mira, certifications of profits gained from Yapping will likely lead to many new people starting Yapping. Honestly, if you want to say 'easily,' Yapping is sweet; if you work hard, you will definitely succeed, or I want to say very strongly that this is how it should be done, but it can often be dirty and tricky, so I am cautious. I see it as almost labor income, what I call writing income, and I don't think the rewards are clear compared to the labor input. Of course, there was nothing certain about existing on-chain ad work, and you can think of it as an extension of on-chain ad work, so you can try it with a light heart. And what strategy is effective is ambiguous. Just because there is a success story like Wonyoti in trading, it doesn't mean we will succeed by following that success story exactly, right? Yapping is the same. If you can grasp the X algorithm well and write short and fun posts, Yapping will definitely help you. However, even if you do that, you need absolute time for your account to be recognized. Running a Telegram channel seems to have some similarities, because if the account itself isn't attractive, no one will look at it. Due to the framework of Yapping, engagement is somewhat guaranteed, but once you peel away that facade of engagement, everything depends on the person's charm. --- 4. So What? So, can only attractive or talented people do this? Is it exclusive to KOLs? I would answer no to that and conclude my writing. Even if it's dirty and tricky, if you keep trying, you can achieve results. Look at how successful people do it, even if you don't want to, write at least one more post, and then something will remain. Honestly, I'm writing this long text again, which seems unreadable. What exactly is insight? Even if you can't produce insightful articles, you can still Yapping with interesting posts, so I hope you just give it a try. The conclusion is just to give it a try. It's risk-free income, so it's just a matter of spending time. --- 5. So What Should I Do? If you're thinking of trying Yapping, I recommend the following projects: - Currently hot: @SentientAGI, @AlloraNetwork, @MMTFinance - Surprisingly vacant: @Sidekick_Labs, @anoma - Korean allocation: @Novastro_xyz, @SonicLabs I will continue to work hard in the future. I support you all.
