🚨 InfoFi Crisis: How X's (Twitter) New Rules Struck Kaito and the Analytics Market
January 2026 became a "black month" for the InfoFi segment. The social network X radically updated its anti-spam policy, which triggered a real information blockade for crypto services.
What happened?
X tightened API access and revised the rules for activity payouts. This destroyed the foundation of many projects that built monetization on user content and data collection within the social network.
Main consequences:
Kaito under fire: Restricting access to the data stream directly impacts the quality of the AI analytics that is the "heart" of the project.Tokenomics at risk: InfoFi projects faced a drop in native token prices. "Earn-per-post" models and rewards for social contribution have become unprofitable or technically impossible.Change of course: Developers are forced to urgently review business models, moving away from direct dependence on Elon Musk's algorithms.
Community reaction:
Opinions are divided. Some predict the end of the InfoFi era, while others see this as a chance to create decentralized social graphs (Lens, Farcaster) that do not depend on the whims of a single corporation.
Conclusion: The dependence of Web3 projects on Web2 infrastructure is the "Achilles' heel" of the industry. The January events proved this.
