Are You Bullish Enough? Here’s How Much You Could Earn in the Mitosis Yapper Campaign

The details of the Mitosis Campaign for Kaito Yappers are finally live, and it’s already creating buzz across the DeFi space. But beyond the hype, the question remains: are you truly bullish?

In this article, I’ll break down the numbers, estimate potential rewards, and help you understand why this campaign might be one of the most lucrative opportunities for early Mitosis supporters.

A Quick Overview

The Mitosis team has allocated 0.8% of its total token supply to the Kaito Leaderboard Campaign. Here's how that breaks down:

➢ 0.4% for the top 1,000 yappers
➢ 0.2% for sKaito & Genesis NFT holders
➢ 0.1% for an undisclosed criterion
➢ 0.1% for those who complete all 3 campaign goals

Assuming a total supply of 1 billion $MITO tokens, that would mean 4,000,000 $MITO reserved just for the top 1,000 yappers, averaging 4,000 tokens per person, if distributed equally.

But let’s be honest… it won’t be equal.

As Mitosis co-founder Luke put it:

“Top 1000 will be seen. Top 500 will be known. Top 150 moves different.”

That tells us the rewards will likely follow a tiered distribution model, rewarding those who contribute the most, just like similar campaigns from protocols such as Mantle.

Estimating the Value: How Much Could $MITO Be Worth?

In a bearish scenario, we could see an FDV around $300M, similar to Zetachain (a L1 focused on interoperability with $14.1M in TVL, per DefiLlama).

In a more bullish scenario, something closer to $1B, like Plume Network, a L1 focused on RWA with $117.3M in TVL.

Berachain and Sonic are also comparable L1s focused on DeFi, currently showing $640.5M and $581.3M in TVL respectively.

Another good benchmark is Injective, an EVM-compatible L1 in the Cosmos ecosystem with $32.5M in TVL.

Mitosis currently has around $50M in TVL, along with a highly engaged and growing community. That places it closer to projects like Injective or Plume, suggesting a potential FDV between $500M and $1B.

To cover all bases, here are the five FDV scenarios I’ll use for our reward projections:

➢ $200M
➢ $350M
➢ $500M
➢ $750M
➢ $1B

Simulating the Leaderboard Tiers and Rewards

I broke down the campaign into 9 tiers, designed to better reflect each yapper’s effort vs. reward.

In the first chart, you’ll find:

➢ Tier structure
➢ Number of yappers per tier
➢ Estimated rewards per yapper
➢ Total tokens distributed per tier

The second chart shows the USD value of rewards across different FDV scenarios.

Quick note: this is an independent analysis, not an official leak or alpha, just me doing the math.

The goal?
To help you visualize the potential upside Mitosis has set aside for its community.

Imagine landing in the Top 100 and earning $2,000 to $10,000 depending on FDV at TGE. Or even Top 50, with potential rewards between $2,800 to $14,000.

And yes... Even someone who writes just one thread and ranks around #990 could still walk away with $104 to $520, depending on FDV.

Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?

Even in bearish conditions, Mitosis has allocated meaningful rewards to its community. But if you believe in the protocol’s long-term vision — and many do — the upside is huge.

This isn’t just another reward campaign. It’s a chance to:

➢ Build visibility as a top community contributor
➢ Earn real, tangible rewards
➢ Be part of the narrative early

So the only question left is…
