Kaito didn't give projects hype.
Projects gave Kaito hype, because after months of "building" with their own users, they chose to reward Kaito users more (Xion, Story Protocol, Berachain).
Founders love Kaito because it helps them reward fewer people without much backlash.
The top 100 or 1000 that they choose are usually the loudest ones preTGE, of course they'll be the loudest on TGE.
Founders use yappers reward to cover up bad execution.
