Punk9277, the founder of Kaito, has invested approximately $1.4 million of his own funds into the KAITO token, making him the second-largest staker on the blockchain. He has staked the entire amount and implemented a self-imposed lockup that will allow him to unlock 50% of the funds once Kaito achieves $50 million in protocol revenue. This move has drawn positive attention from the community, highlighting a contrast with other founders who often seek to extract funds from their projects. Observers note that Kaito's pre-token generation event (TGE) is generating significant interest, suggesting potential future growth in the market.
