📍If the Yap trend isn't dead, will Cookie catch up with Kaito? 🔶Cookiefun has a public InfoFi interface, allowing the community to retrieve influence data, leaderboards, evaluation logic, without hiding algorithms like Kaito. 🔶The current $COOKIE token is used to: - Pay SNAPS rewards to users who contribute content. - Staking, receive airdrops depending on the level of engagement. - Use to administer the DAO in the future. 🔶The core difference between Cookiefun and KaitoAI lies in its construction philosophy: KaitoAI pursues a model that focuses on maximising profits from data, by charging high fees, hiding algorithms, and only providing analytical information to paid users. This mindset creates a "black-box" system where only financially qualified people have access to information, while promoting data mining rather than community contribution. 🔶Cookiefun, on the other hand, is transparent in its entire ranking logic, publicises its impact measurement mechanism, and encourages community participation with SNAPS and Badges rewards. Not only big KOLs are followed, but every account has the opportunity to be influential, creating a fairer playing field, reducing the rate of Yap-Farming. -> Kaito was criticised by the community for shady mindshare for only showing figures to payers. A section of the community responded by turning to other protocols such as Cookiefun. The data proves it: + Total DEX volume reached ~$700M, staking rate and liquidity increased again after the launch of Cookiefun. + The number of users interacting with Cookiefun is increasing rapidly over time, with a steady increase over the weeks since the launch of v1.0 Alpha (end of May). Clearly SNAPS & Badges are working + The volume of SNAPS minted daily is maintained and shows no signs of regression. + The number of staking wallets or $COOKIE transactions has not exploded but is still increasing over time, proving that utility tokens are effective. 🔶It cannot be said that Cookiefun is superior to KaitoAI because both have their own strengths and user files, which can be likened to KaitoAI as a tech coin with real revenue, while Cookiefun is a memecoin with benefits belonging to the community. If Cookiefun can release more powerful updates, perhaps the story of catching up with KaitoAI is completely possible.
