Forget Bots: Kaito’s $15B Data Play is Hiding in Plain Sight | by CosmosHOSS | The Capital | Feb, 2025
Step back and a grand vision crystallizes: Kaito is weaving a decentralized data mesh that they — and they alone — sit at the center of. But where does it all lead?
The Web3 Data Singularity: As more value flows through crypto networks, high-quality data becomes an existential need — as vital as the blockchain itself. And like Ethereum’s “ETH standard,” Kaito’s feeds are fast becoming the de facto “data standard” for web3.
But more than a mere software library, Kaito is evolving into the data layer of a new decentralized internet:
- Universal Querying: Ask any question and get trusted answers
- Networked Insights: Every app improves as the network learns
- Credibly Neutral: Open access for all via decentralized gateways
In this brave new world of tokens and DAOs, those who harness high-resolution data wield god-like powers. They’ll know more, move faster, and print more money than any FAANG or TradFi data monopoly ever dreamed.
And with every line of code and on-chain transaction, more and more of that power is accruing to Kaito. Inch by inch, SDK by SDK, they are emerging as the spider at the center of web3’s data web.
Will they be a benevolent giant like Ethereum? Or will their omniscience be abused? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for certain: Kaito’s quiet coup is well underway. And by the time you notice it’s over — it may already be too late.
Will you bet on or against the botmaker? Choose wisely. The future of web3 hangs in the balance.
