Capital Launchpad (Kaito Launchpad)

Capital Launchpad is an IDO platform, created by and being a part of Kaito AI, a pioneering AI InfoFi protocol. One of the primary problems the Kaito launchpad aims to address is the outdated and ineffective IDO models, where the primary benefits are earned by large crypto players with substantial capital or bot farms. 

Kaito launchpad aims to solve this issue by implementing extensive analytics work when granting users IDO allocations. It leverages Kaito’s AI social data collecting infrastructure, rating users on such advanced metrics as social and on-chain reputation, holdings, historical alignment/participation, region, conviction, and more. 

What’s more, the platform helps multiple projects boost their visibility on Twitter through its "Yap-to-Earn" contest programs. In these campaigns, a project sets a reward pool to incentivize creators to produce content about the company, naturally promoting it on Twitter. The quality of the contest is then evaluated using Kaito's social tracking infrastructure. Among notable clients, it is worth mentioning Polygon, Arbitrum, NEAR, Bybit, Virtuals, and Polkadot. 

How to participate? 

To have the ability to join the Kaito AI Launchpad sales, all you need to do is sign up on the platform and complete a KYC verification. Then, you have to request the allocation, deposit the amount of funds you would like to invest, and wait for the team to decide on your allocation.  

All the metrics that play a role in the team’s decision regarding an allocation, such as social or on-chain reputation, will be determined for every sale and user separately. Once the team distributes allocations, it will ask to confirm the participation in the sale and refund any unused funds. 

As of July 2025, the launchpad announced only two token sales of Espresso and Theoriq, raising in total $6M from both IDOs.


Considering the upcoming token sales and hype around the Capital Launchpad, the CoinLaunch team conducted a comprehensive review of the Kaito Launchpad and found its pros and cons:

✅ Kaito Launchpad pros:

• The launchpad is backed by Kaito, currently one of the most hyped and used protocols in the space;
• High social influence;
• A diverse range of B2B and B2C products, including "Yap-to-Earn" program, Kaito airdrops, Yaps explorer, and more;
• A large range of regions of influence, thanks to the core functionality of the platform, focused on attention markets.

❌ Kaito Launchpad cons:

• Low project assistance score;
• The launchpad is new, hence there’s no info on the ROI and ATH ROI of the IDOs hosted on Kaito;
• Low amount of funds raised (only $6M as of July 2025);

One of the launchpads has already tried to implement a similar system of allocation, Legion Launchpad, yet such a system failed to become mainstream.
