Cryptobriefing.com reports that Kaito AI has released Kaito Pulse, a Chrome extension developed in partnership with Primus Labs to verify user activity on platforms like Binance and Polymarket directly on X. Launched on August 18, 2026, and listed on the Chrome Web Store in mid-August 2026, the tool utilizes zero-knowledge proof technology to confirm trading positions without exposing login credentials. The extension relies on zkTLS, a privacy-preserving layer built by Primus Labs that generates proofs locally in the browser before sharing only verified claims. Primus Labs, which raised $6.5 million in early 2025 with backing from VanEck and Samsung Next, provides the underlying stack for this infrastructure.
To encourage adoption, Kaito and Primus Labs ran a marketing campaign from August 25 to September 8, 2026, offering an $8,000 USDC reward pool for users completing verification tasks. Kaito addressed privacy concerns by open-sourcing the Pulse extension, allowing independent developers to audit the code and confirm that sensitive data remains in the user's browser. The technology is not limited to X or specific exchanges, as any platform using standard TLS encryption could theoretically integrate similar verification methods.
This release marks version 1.0.1 of the tool, serving as a proof of concept for broader infrastructure applications. The extension enables users to prove they hold specific positions, such as an open long on ETH, without revealing underlying data. This approach allows for public verification of activity while maintaining user privacy and security.
How the market reacted

KAITO is trading at $0.3028 with a 24-hour spot volume of $595,644 across 7,019 trades. The 24-hour buy ratio stands at 49.3%, indicating a near-even split between buyers and sellers, while the cumulative volume delta is slightly positive at +$958. In the short term, buying pressure appears to be building, as the 1-hour buy ratio has risen to 52.4% with a positive volume delta of +$3,069. However, this recent uptick contrasts with the 4-hour timeframe, where the buy ratio is lower at 46.8% and the volume delta is negative at -$14,888. The buy ratio represents the percentage of total volume driven by buy orders, while the volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume. Over the last 24 hours, net buying occurred for 13 hours, suggesting intermittent but persistent accumulation despite the overall balanced ratio.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.5% sits at the 50th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 50.5% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for KAITO, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Compared to the preceding week, today's trading activity shows a slight decline in buying sentiment relative to the 7-day average buy ratio of 50.4%, dropping by 1.2 points. Volume activity has also decreased significantly, with current volume running at just 0.29 times the weekly average. This indicates that today is an unusually quiet day for KAITO, with reduced participation compared to the norm. Over the past eight days, the price has fallen by 3.4%, and the total volume delta has been positive at +$123,818. While the longer-term trend shows net buying, the current day's lower volume and slightly reduced buy ratio suggest a pause in momentum.
