Abstract generation in progress

【BlockBeats】Kaito founder Yu Hu outlined a series of recent events on social media. According to him, the timeline of the entire incident is as follows: on January 13th, they received an email from the client manager regarding a possible reassessment; on January 14th, they received a legal notice from X and responded on the same day; it was only on January 15th that they publicly synchronized the related content released by Nikita.

Yu Hu explained that they had previously experienced legal notices from X, which were eventually handled properly. Therefore, within such a short time window, it is reasonable to wait, clarify further, and communicate before releasing an official statement.

Regarding business adjustments, Kaito's Yaps has officially shut down. However, this does not mean stagnation; instead, it is part of a larger strategic layout. By 2026, Kaito plans to expand across platforms through the new Kaito Studio, covering mainstream platforms like TikTok and YouTube, and also entering fields outside of cryptocurrency. Kaito Studio has actually been preparing for several months and will serve as a new model to supplement the existing business.

It is worth noting that this change only affects the Yaps business. Kaito Launchpad, Kaito Pro, Kaito API, and the upcoming Kaito Markets are unaffected and will continue normal operations. More detailed roadmaps will be announced later; stay tuned.

YAPS stops when told to, and the turnaround speed is truly amazing.

Yaps is over, but it seems like Yu Hu had already planned the follow-up move.

Yaps has stopped, but I'm about to jump on TikTok and YouTube, feeling all in on short videos.

YAPS says stop when it stops, the turnaround speed is impressive... But Kaito Studio's move to cross-platform is quite clever.

Uh, Yaps was cut, and this move is a bit aggressive... But I can accept the new direction of Studio, since the traffic on TikTok and YouTube is right there.

It's still a strategic adjustment rather than killing the donkey after grinding, anyway, I just follow the roadmap.
