Orange Cap Games, the new IP manager of the Moonbirds NFT collection, has announced a partnership with Kaito AI, an AI-driven search platform for the Web3 and crypto space, to allow Moonbirds NFT holders to participate in the Kaito AI Leaderboard and earn Yap Points [1]. This collaboration marks the first time a major NFT project has integrated directly into the Kaito AI leaderboard, offering holders new ways to engage with their assets and earn potential future benefits [1].

Under the terms of the partnership, Moonbirds holders can earn Yap Points by sharing content about the project, including the Moonbirds, Mythics, and Oddities NFTs, on social media platforms such as X. The Kaito AI system uses artificial intelligence to analyze user contributions and assign Yap Points, which reflect a user’s engagement and influence in promoting the project. These points may unlock future rewards, including airdrops or exclusive ecosystem privileges [1].

Kaito AI operates as a specialized search engine, aggregating data from social media, governance forums, and research to provide real-time insights into the crypto and NFT markets. The platform previously introduced the Kaito Yap leaderboard, which rewarded top contributors with airdrops such as the ANIME token distribution [1]. With the Moonbirds integration, the platform expands its focus to major NFT projects and their communities.

The partnership appears to have already driven increased activity in the Moonbirds NFT market. According to on-chain data from CoinGecko, the NFT collection’s trading volume surged by over 369% following the announcement. In the past 24 hours, the Moonbirds NFT recorded a trading volume of 451 ETH, and the floor price rose by 28% to 2.88 ETH [1]. These figures suggest that the collaboration has generated renewed interest and engagement among holders.

Orange Cap Games acquired the Moonbirds NFT project from Yuga Labs and now oversees its development and ecosystem. The Moonbirds collection includes 10,000 pixelated owl birds, while Mythics and Oddities feature additional NFTs, all hosted on the Ethereum blockchain. These collections are known for their “nesting” mechanism, which rewards long-term holders with benefits over time [1].

By integrating the Moonbirds NFT into the Kaito AI Leaderboard, the project introduces a novel approach to NFT utility and engagement. Instead of passive ownership, holders are incentivized to contribute to the project’s visibility and growth. This model could influence future collaborations between NFT projects and AI platforms, potentially broadening the value proposition for NFT owners [1].
