Kaito's recent statement essentially announced the end of the wild growth era of the InfoFi track.

The news that Twitter cut off API access seems passive, but in essence, it has become a watershed moment for the industry. This is not natural evolution but a brutal survival competition—platforms have taken up the knife, forcing all participants to make a choice.

What was Kaito like in the past? Simply put, it was a decentralized traffic trading marketplace. As long as you had an account, retweets and interactions could earn you airdrop rewards. Under this logic, bots, click farms, and real users were mixed together, creating a false illusion of prosperity. When Twitter changed its algorithm, these piled-up vanity metrics collapsed instantly, leaving only zeros.

Now, Kaito's new direction is to build an "On-Chain 4A Company." In colloquial terms: from zero threshold to an elite system. No longer a savage mode where anyone with an account can participate, but a strict selection of partners. The logic behind this shift is very clear—they want to compete with traditional advertising giants, and the only winning card is to prove the value of genuine conversions. Converting 10 targeted users beats 10,000 zombie accounts' fake interactions.

The core behind this is: only real, verifiable data is valuable. The future of the InfoFi track no longer relies on traffic stacking but on the authenticity of data and conversion rates. What the platform is doing is a thorough cleansing—removing all fake elements and keeping only the parts that can truly generate value.

Wow, Kaito is really about to shuffle the deck now, from casual play to an elite system. That's pretty intense.

Wow, this is the so-called "bad money drives out good" reverse pull, can this elite system really survive?

Hey, this is what they call "survival of the fittest." It was about time. --- In simple terms, the era of fake engagement is dead. Now, it's about real effort and genuine conversions. --- Kaito's turnaround was quite fierce, going from zero threshold to an elite system, directly dividing two worlds. --- Laugh out loud, those projects relying on bots to generate data are probably crying now. --- Ah, we've known for a long time that real data is valuable. Are we only realizing this now? --- Ten accurate users eliminate ten thousand zombie accounts. The logic is sound, but the question is who can actually find those ten? --- Twitter's move was well-executed, directly exposing the false prosperity of InfoFi. --- Wait, does this mean that those who participated in previous airdrops lost everything? What do the shillers say? --- From wild growth to elite status, it sounds high-level, but actually, the threshold has just been raised, and retail investors are about to get cut again. --- The key is, who will verify "real data"? This stuff isn't even transparent on the blockchain.

Honestly, this wave of cleansing should have come earlier; the good days for the scammers are coming to an end.

honestly this is just darwinism playing out in realtime... Twitter pulling the plug wasn't a mistake, it was a feature. garbage in, garbage out. Kaito pivoting to "on-chain 4A" is technically just admitting the whole play was fundamentally broken from day one.

To put it simply, when the competition in the industry reaches this level, a reshuffle is necessary. Having zombie accounts everywhere is useless.
