Kaito [launched Kaito Pulse](https://x.com/KaitoAI/status/2089721729895841925), a new browser extension designed to link trading activity directly to the X timeline, starting with surfacing users' public positions on [Polymarket and Hyperliquid](https://cryptobriefing.com/kaito-pulse-trading-data-x-timeline/).

### What’s the scoop?
- **Adding Aura:** Alongside Pulse, Kaito [introduced Aura](https://x.com/KaitoAI/status/2089721972846645384), a new reputation layer designed to measure influence using both what users say and what they actually do. Combined with Pulse's view into public trading positions, it hopes to help users distinguish between accounts merely making calls and those whose onchain activity and track record back them up.
- **Zooming Out:** Pulse marks a new direction for [Kaito after X's January crackdown](https://www.bankless.com/read/news/twitter-x-bans-reward-apps-to-cut-spam-killing-infofi) on incentivized posting forced it to sunset Yaps and its open leaderboards. Last month, Kaito [signed a data agreement with X](https://x.com/KaitoAI/status/2080261656421212505) to support new products which look to be building for this new paradigm of "social trading."
