Sonic, a fast Layer 1 decentralized finance blockchain, has announced a strategic partnership with Web3 platform Kaito to enhance its community engagement through the Sonic Season 2 $S token airdrop.
This collaboration integrates Kaito's AI-powered Yapper Leaderboard system, which tracks and rewards users, called "Yappers," who actively engage and drive thoughtful conversations about the Sonic ecosystem on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
Users generate "Yap points" by posting quality content, conducting insightful research, and promoting awareness around Sonic's blockchain features such as fee monetization, sub-second finality, and high transaction throughput. These points count towards eligibility for the community rewards distributed in the airdrop.
The program emphasizes quality over quantity by filtering out bot activity and malicious content to maintain integrity and ensure only genuine contributors receive rewards. Sonic Labs' CEO Michael Kong highlighted the initiative as a way to fairly share incentives with those shaping the narrative and advancing the Sonic project.
Kaito CEO Yu Hu emphasized that this alliance marks a new paradigm in valuing community participation through intellectual contribution rather than simple trading volume. This feedback loop supports growth of the Sonic social ecosystem while expanding the reach of valuable content through Kaito's discovery and social ranking tools.
Sonic, known for its fastest EVM-compatible blockchain capable of processing 400,000 transactions per second within a second, leverages this partnership to further empower developers and community members engaged in its rapidly growing DeFi landscape.
