Arbitrum x Kaito Season 2 Is Here: 700K ARB in grants

Arbitrum and Kaito have launched Season 2 of their grants program, committing 700,000 ARB to reward creators who drive the most community engagement and “mindshare” around Arbitrum. The initiative spans three monthly tranches across October, November, and December 2025, and expands eligibility to the Top 150 creators - up from 100 in Season 1. The Kaito algorithm has also been refined to ensure fair treatment of smaller accounts, leveling the playing field and encouraging broader participation.

Key Insights

700,000 ARB in grants will be distributed based on leaderboard performance, rewarding creators who generate impactful Arbitrum-related content.
Top 150 creators are now eligible, with algorithmic adjustments that favor quality and engagement over follower count.

Why It matters?

Entrepreneurs may treat the Kaito leaderboard as a short-term go-to-market channel and launch targeted campaigns that generate buzz around new Arbitrum-based products or features to get initial traction and earn non-dilutive funding.
