Stakedrop is Kaito’s mechanism for routing a share of campaign rewards to $KAITO stakers, run since 2025 per Kaito’s announcement. In Katalyst’s TGE format, the 20% staker share continues this mechanism, with multipliers for long-term holders.
Routing a share to stakers creates a second earning route alongside the creator one. A staker participates in campaign rewards without producing content, which is a different proposition from the creator side of the same campaign.
The multipliers for long-term holders are the part that distinguishes holding duration from holding size. Per Kaito’s announcement, the mechanism has run since 2025 and continues under Katalyst. For authoritative detail, refer to Kaito’s documentation.
The mechanism predates Katalyst rather than arriving with it. Per Kaito’s announcement it has run since 2025, and the 20% staker share in Katalyst’s TGE format continues it rather than replacing it with something new.
