Information-based finance, DAO agents, and the signal war of the attention market The vivid collaboration story of Kaito (@KaitoAI), Almanak (@almanak), and Wallchain (@wallchain) In the Web3 world, 'signals' are power. This comparative study explores the protagonists who handle that power in three ways. Kaito is the wizard of information that gathers and analyzes all crypto narratives in the world, Almanak is the smart manager where AI agents move like a legion to automatically execute DeFi strategies, and Wallchain is a trendsetter known for its social verification system that identifies true 'influence.' All three projects are innovating 'how to interpret and prove signals' in their own ways, creating a new collaborative culture in Web3. Kaito navigates through tens of thousands of data waves daily, sifting through Twitter, Telegram, forums, and papers to extract only truly valuable information. Utilizing LLMs and knowledge graphs, it has the ability to read beyond simple searches to understand context and flow. Almanak is literally the 'DAO orchestra of AI agents.' Eighteen specialized agents share responsibilities for strategy formulation, alpha exploration, and performance optimization, automatically responding to market changes. In contrast, Wallchain traverses the Twitter world to find genuine 'human-like' influence. Instead of just counting followers, AI evaluates how sincerely interactions occurred and assigns an X score. In Kaito's world, the concept of 'mindshare' is central. It measures who creates more meaningful and creative stories in numerical terms and rewards based on activity levels and responses. Almanak is performance-oriented. It earns prestige through actual returns and strategy efficiency, designed to channel resources to 'where performance exists' by staking tokens. Wallchain is the champion of the authenticity game. Bots or spam do not work, and only those who consistently create good content accumulate points. Looking at on-chain performance, Kaito has already built a stable ecosystem like a mid-sized company and continues to grow its user base steadily based on its base chain. Almanak showed explosive growth with a sharp increase in TVL after mid-2025, while Wallchain has not yet issued tokens but is expanding its presence through active community growth centered around campaigns. Market attention is also intriguing. Kaito has established itself as the king of infophy, demonstrating 'how to turn information into money.' Almanak has transformed complex DeFi into an automation system that anyone can handle, opening the era of 'AI quant.' Wallchain has become a platform that proves 'real influence,' opening the door to the attention economy era beyond simple social pie. Investors have not missed this trend either. Kaito is attracting interest from traditional finance, Almanak is growing with support from Hashkey and the Near Foundation, and Wallchain, though still in its early stages, is rapidly expanding its community. Community reactions are vivid. Kaito receives praise from creators, stating, "Just tweeting turns knowledge into assets," but the opacity of the ranking system often leads to controversy. Almanak is gaining traction with high profitability and the convenience of automation, but expectations are growing regarding delays in token launches. Wallchain occasionally faces complaints about score calculation errors, but users who consistently engage are rewarded, establishing itself as an 'authentic SNS.' Technically, each has its distinct color. Kaito utilizes a decentralized AI network, Vitenser, to analyze vast amounts of data in real-time, while Almanak guarantees the accuracy of results with a trusted execution environment. Wallchain filters out abnormal activities through behavior pattern analysis, maintaining fairness. The future direction is also promising. Kaito aims to strengthen the creator ecosystem through on-chain integration and interface innovation, while Almanak seeks to implement 'self-evolving DeFi' with self-learning agents. Wallchain plans to provide new incentives to participants through Genesis NFTs and an enhanced AI scoring system. Ultimately, these three projects are transforming the chaos of Web3 into order in their own ways. Kaito manages the flood of information, Almanak automates complex finance, and Wallchain revives the value of authenticity. The three axes of information, execution, and trust are interlocking, creating the next evolutionary stage of Web3, namely the 'signal-based collaborative economy.' In this flow, who will remain a true influential player will now be determined by user choice and participation.

Dive deeper into Near Protocol

In 2020, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector saw significant growth, leading to a surge of decentralized applications (dApps) on the Ethereum network. This surge underscored some of Ethereum's scalability challenges, pointing to the necessity for a more robust solution. Responding to this need, Near Protocol emerged as a community-oriented cloud computing platform aiming to mitigate these constraints.

What is Near Protocol 

NEAR is a community-driven cloud computing platform that adopts the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. With its user-friendly interface and smart contract capabilities, NEAR seeks to empower developers to effortlessly design and deploy innovative dApps and DeFi solutions. Furthermore, its unique design allows users to engage with dApps and smart contracts without requiring a wallet.

The Near Protocol team

Erik Trautman, an entrepreneur boasting Wall Street experience and founder of Viking Education, pioneered NEAR. Alongside him are co-founders Illia Polusukhin, a former Google employee, and Alexander Skidanov, an ex-Microsoft staffer. Under their leadership, NEAR has amassed a skilled cohort of developers, featuring International Collegiate Programming Contest gold medalists.

How does Near Protocol work

Utilizing sharding technology, NEAR improves transaction speed and volume. By distributing its computational load across multiple shards, each node runs only the relevant code for its assigned shard, optimizing scalability. NEAR's Blockchain Operating System (BOS), grounded in JavaScript, ensures developers can use a familiar programming language. The platform provides ready-made components, facilitating quicker product development. Moreover, users can swiftly access the system without needing to own or use cryptocurrency.

NEAR tokenomics

NEAR's native token, NEAR, was launched on October 13, 2020, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens. The token offers several use cases, from paying transaction gas fees to staking for rewards. Additionally, it plays a role in governance, data storage, and access to services and applications on the Near Protocol.

NEAR distribution

NEAR was distributed in the following way:

  • 17.2 percent: Community grants and programs
  • 15.23 percent: Seed round
  • 14 percent: Core contributors
  • 11.76 percent: Early ecosystem development
  • 11.4 percent: Operation grants
  • 12 percent: Community sales
  • 10 percent: Foundation
  • 8.41 percent: Venture round

Near Protocol: The road ahead

Created for robustness and efficiency, NEAR offers a platform free from intermediaries, permitting users to independently publish and host applications. This commitment to progress is reflected in their Q3 2023 announcement, heralding phase 2 of sharding to enhance the sharding process and improve scalability.
