The special feature is that Loud was built in reverse: instead of creating a product and then marketing it, they did marketing first to test: "Can attention alone create long-term value?"

How Users Participate in Loud on X (Twitter)

Joining Loud does not require any coding skills, specialized wallets, or complex farming - anyone can start with just an X (Twitter) account. Here's a guide on how to participate:

1. Register Wallet

2. Create Content on Twitter

  • Create posts (tweet, meme, thread, video...) related to @stayloudio and $LOUD.
  • The more creative, the greater the spread → higher mindshare.

3. Measured by KaitoAI

  • Every hour, engagement data from tweets related to $LOUD will be analyzed and compiled into a Mindshare Score by KaitoAI.
  • Mindshare is measured not just by likes or comments, but also considers quality followers, reach, and "smart engagement" (from influential users).

4. Track Ranking on Leaderboard

  • Live ranking at: https://www.stayloud.io
  • Updated continuously every hour with position, Mindshare percentage, and estimated rewards.

5. Compete for Top 25 to Receive Rewards

  • Each week, the top 25 with the highest Mindshare will share rewards from the swap fee fund.
  • Rewards are paid in SOL, automatically sent to the registered wallet.

6. Notes When Participating:

  • Users must register the correct wallet on Loud to receive rewards.
  • Not everyone is eligible - rewards are only for those who create real influence, not spam or bot engagement.

Why Was Loud Successful from the Start?

  • Hitting the KOL's ego: "Do I have enough influence?", "Can I make the top 25?". Loud turns this into a social competition.
  • Not over-engineered: No farming, no staking, no product — just tweet.
  • Kaito sets the standard: Using KaitoAI as an Oracle to measure attention, minimizing fraud.
  • Community ownership from IAO: Those who participate in IAO are the first to "have a part" in the game. No one is left behind.

Loud's Distinctive Features

  • 100% Fair launch: No team allocation, no private sale, no seed round. All tokens are publicly and transparently allocated.
  • Pure social-fi experiment: No roadmap, no promises, only results from real social interactions.
  • Perpetual reward distribution: Unlike a one-time airdrop, rewards are created and redistributed forever through swap fees.
  • Combining 3,3 game theory with attention: Traders pay fees → yappers compete for rewards → create media waves → increase swap volume → cycle continues.
  • Leveraging KaitoAI as an attention quantification standard: Helps ensure transparent distribution, preventing bot engagement fraud.

Overall Assessment of Loud

Loud is the most unique crypto experiment of 2024. It doesn't promise utility, doesn't introduce a product, doesn't "sell dreams" – it only has attention and a feedback loop to test whether attention can create value by itself.

This model could set a precedent for a new token distribution method – IAO (Initial Attention Offering) – replacing or supplementing traditional ICO/IDO/IGO. Despite being experimental, Loud has been highly effective in attracting quality KOLs, encouraging content creation, and simultaneously laying the groundwork for a truly transparent attention market.

However, the project also faces concerns about being "top-heavy" – only large accounts receive rewards – which may require expanding the reward mechanism or sharing from KOLs to the community in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions about Loud

  1. Does Loud have a product?
    No, Loud is an experiment without a specific product, only with attention and transaction-based rewards.
  2. How can I participate and receive rewards?
    Create content (tweet) about $LOUD, connect wallet, follow the leaderboard at stayloud.io and make it to the top 25 Mindshare.
  3. Does $LOUD have utility?
    Not in the traditional sense. It is a technically "useless token" but can be valued by attention and recognition from the community.

Summary

Loud is not for everyone. But if you believe attention is an asset, if you want to play a 3,3 game between voice and rewards, or simply want to witness how a non-product experiment operates – Loud is an interesting place to start.
