A major social platform recently restricted API access for apps designed to reward user engagement, aiming to combat spam and low-quality AI-generated content. The crackdown rippled across the crypto market immediately. Kaito's native token plummeted roughly 20% to $0.57, accompanied by a surge in trading volume up 87%. Meanwhile, Cookie faced even steeper pressure, sliding over 20% to $0.038. Both projects, built as social engagement tools on a single platform, are now forced to rethink their strategy and explore multi-platform expansion to reduce dependency risk. This incident underscores a critical vulnerability in crypto social projects—overreliance on one ecosystem exposes them to sudden policy shifts and market volatility. As platforms tighten content moderation standards, projects diversifying across multiple networks appear better positioned to weather such storms.
