Yet, the people who discover this intelligence early and the creators who publish it are rarely rewarded. Kotofi fixes the broken incentive model of social media. By combining decentralized data verification with on-chain financial primitives, we turn social signal into measurable value. At its core, Kotofi turns your time spent on X into measurable value: * Discoverers (people who find great posts/narrative early) earn rewards. * Creators (people who write those posts) earn rewards. * Projects (teams behind new tokens and protocols) can measure and grow their mindshare in a transparent way. * Token creators can launch and run post‑TGE YAP campaigns directly on Kotofi’s token launchpad. *** ### Defining InfoFi 2.0 "InfoFi" is the fusion of Information and Finance. It is the principle that high-quality information is a financial asset, and those who surface or create it should share in the value it generates. #### The Problem with InfoFi 1.0 The first generation of InfoFi platforms (like Kaito) proved the demand but failed the architecture test. Because they relied on centralized, permissioned API access (Twitter API), they were fragile. When the API gates closed, the platforms stalled, and the "YAP" campaigns died. #### The Kotofi Solution: Resilience by Design Kotofi is built to be unblockable and community-powered: * API-Independent: We don't ask for permission. Our network of Node Runners verifies public information directly via the browser, ensuring the protocol remains active regardless of centralized policy changes. * Verifiable Trust: Payouts aren't pinky-promises. Projects must lock rewards in On-Chain Escrow Vaults before yapping campaigns begin. * Distributed Value: Revenue doesn't stay in a corporate silo; it flows to the Discoverers, Creators, and Node Runners who power the network. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.kotofi.fun/introduction-and-overview/welcome-to-kotofi.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
