The Yap points of Kaito have sparked much discussion since their launch, with rumors even circulating that one YAP is worth $1,000. However, the non-public point-earning system and the extremely high difficulty of obtaining them have also led many to claim they will have to pay to get Yap. This article will summarize the three major KOLs' tips for Yap.

ToggleHow to break out in the public chain ecosystem? Eclipse KOL's non-secret tips
Nik, the KOL of the SVM public chain Eclipse, has already obtained 420 Yap at the time of writing and is ranked third in the Eclipse public chain mindshare. He summarized four principles to share how to effectively obtain Yap.
- Information-rich articles will outperform short texts
- Present the article completely on the same page, many people will cut the article into several paragraphs and post them in the comments section in order. But Nik believes that presenting it completely can get more attention
- You can write on any topic related to cryptocurrencies: AI / Gaming / DeFi / your favorite project, etc.
- Long articles on artificial intelligence also seem to have received a lot of attention and YAP, Nik said he doesn't like the hype around artificial intelligence, but it's still worth leveraging.
BAYC Taiwan founder summarizes ten key Yap tips
Nick P, the founder of BAYC Taiwan, summarized ten key points:
- When posting a new post, quote your old posts. Make sure the two are related, as this can increase the reach of both posts (Nick said he found this step increased the reach of old posts by 2-3 times)
- Turn on notification bell, as many KOLs only reply to the first few comments, so you must comment first.
- Don't meaninglessly spam Yap in comments, you can use methods like asking questions, stirring up controversy, or attracting attention to increase the chance of interaction with others.
- Comment on KOLs who are willing to interact, Nick gave the examples of @Alvin0617, @woodycryptow, @Phyrex_Ni, who almost always reply to every post, making it easy to gain points through interaction.
- The post keywords need to stand out, and focus on a specific topic, so the system can identify which mindshare the user belongs to. Nick said it's impossible to cover everything in one article.
- Try to attract Smart followers, Nick said not to be shy when farming Yap, and even actively ask others to follow you.
Don't know how to Yap from the beginning? Start by attracting leading accounts to reply
Makesy observed the logic of the system's data capture and deduced two key points:
- Kaito's crawler engine starts from the accounts with the highest points, and may even skip the posts of smaller accounts. This means that for users who have not yet made the list, getting replies from these leading accounts is the top priority.
- Kaito's points may be built-in with human feedback, which can greatly avoid slop (low-quality AI-generated content) being calculated into YAP. Makesy said that in terms of "right curve", the way Yap is calculated is high specificity and low sensitivity.
This means that its false positive rate is very low (able to avoid counting slop content as Yap), but at the same time it also has a relatively high false negative, that is, some quality content that may meet the human feedback judgment may not be automatically indexed or extracted by the crawler on the first layer.
This hypothesis can achieve the following four points:
- Can save X's API calls (which cost money) or reduce the risk of the crawler being detected and blocked.
- Make it more difficult for those who want to carry out witch attacks (sybil farming) or fake account flooding.
- Improve the face validity of the leaderboard.
- Increase the likelihood of high-ranking accounts participating in the Yap game, making Kaito's leaderboard a coordination point for status competition.
Makesy believes these points are quite reasonable, and although it is not based on strength alone, it at least makes Yap scarce and representative. In addition to being optimistic about the development of Yap, he also predicts that a Yap point trading market may be launched in the future. Those with capital but difficult to obtain Yap may choose the "paid Yap" approach to expand their exposure.
