Recent policy adjustments on social media platforms have affected many projects in the InfoFi sector. Projects such as Kaito, CookieDAO, Wallchain Quacks, ProtoKOLs, Zentry, Arbus, FiveRep, Ethos, Mirra, and Fantasy Top are facing strategic adjustment pressures. These projects, which rely on social data mining and user feedback, need to reevaluate their business models and operational directions under the changing platform rules. Industry observers point out that this wave of policy changes may push the InfoFi ecosystem to improve its compliance infrastructure. It also serves as a wake-up call for early-stage projects—over-reliance on a single platform poses systemic risks, and multi-chain deployment and diversification of data sources have become urgent issues.

Another excuse to cut leeks? When the platform adjusts, these projects start crying and calling their mothers Kaito should have realized this day would come. Going all-in on social data means being prepared for being harvested Listen to these words: compliance building, diversified data sources... sounds good, but it's just helplessness forced by circumstances Single platform risk? Should have understood that long ago, a bunch of latecomers Now it's better, we have to see how project teams shift the blame to the platform The entire InfoFi sector feels like gambling, sooner or later something will go wrong Actually, they didn't expect that X/Twitter's move would be so fierce Multi-chain deployment sounds simple, but in reality, it's a big expense. Small projects are doomed Relying on a single data source is inherently a sin. It's really late to realize that now This time, they will probably have to go through another round of cleanup, the doomed ones deserve to die

I really can't hold back anymore. These projects are betting all their chips on the platform and deserve to be punished. It was about time someone poured cold water on InfoFi. Relying on a single platform = suicide. Kaito and the others have paid their tuition this time, but if newcomers don't learn from it, they'll just repeat the mistake. Instead of waiting to be cut off, it's better to start diversifying data sources now... By the way, who is deploying across multiple chains?

Oh no, another wave of platforms cutting the leeks... These InfoFi little flowers are really going to have to learn to save themselves now. The dependency on a single platform, I’ve said it would backfire long ago. Now it’s happening, and they have to start blooming again. Compliance is like putting a bridle on a unicorn. At first, it’s uncomfortable, but later you realize it’s the cost of staying alive. Watching Kaito and others adjust their strategies, I can’t tell if I feel distressed or relieved... Anyway, diversifying data sources is inevitable. It’s not too late to realize this now, even if forced.

Another new reason to cut leeks, this time blaming platform policy The platform crashes as soon as it adjusts, indicating that these projects didn't have much real value to begin with Multi-chain deployment data diversification... sounds very professional, but in reality, it's just patching vulnerabilities Kaito should have seen this coming; betting on a single platform will eventually backfire

lmao another "systemic vulnerability" moment for the lazy builders. these infofis got caught with their pants down relying on single-platform data feeds like it's 2021 or smth. governance attacks waiting to happen tbh.

Damn, here comes another wave of platform policy crackdown... These projects really need to wake up. Putting all your eggs in one basket will eventually backfire.

Here we go again, this wave is really intense. As soon as the social platform makes a move, these InfoFi projects have to be reorganized. To put it nicely, it's compliance building; to be blunt, it's being forced to change course. The issue of over-reliance on a single platform should have been addressed long ago, and now realizing it is a bit late. Multi-chain and multi-data sources sound good, but the reality of implementation is another matter.

Whenever the platform moves, these projects have to adjust, what does that indicate? Their resilience is too fragile. Just look at Kaito's fund flow to know; they should have diversified their risks long ago, but now they've just woken up a bit too late.

Here we go again, the platform's one-card-neck project keeps making all kinds of adjustments. I should have seen this coming a long time ago. Relying on a single dominant X model was already a trap, and now you're only realizing it?

Another excuse to cut the leeks, InfoFi and these projects should have been rectified long ago.
