Web3 is reshaping the creator economy by turning passive consumption into active participation. Unlike legacy platforms that often leave creators under‑compensated, blockchain‑based projects enable direct, transparent rewards for high‑quality contributions. From decentralized social networks to #NFT​ marketplaces, creators can now earn tokens, stablecoins, and even governance rights for content that expands communities and drives adoption. While many reward schemes promise quick payouts, only those built on sustainable economics deliver lasting value. Social Mining exemplified by @DAO Labs offers such a model, emphasizing long‑term merit over short‑term hype.

The Current Reward Landscape
Web3 integrates economic incentives into everyday creator activities. Notable examples include:
Virtual Worlds – Projects like @Decentraland and @Axie Infinity distribute native tokens to users who develop virtual experiences, guides, or community events.Ecosystem Bounties – Ethereum, Solana and other large chains host bounty programs that pay for tutorials, memes, and promotional content that raises project visibility. Rewards range from airdrops to revenue‑sharing arrangements, allowing creators to monetize without intermediaries.Binance Square - Inviting creators to create content via different project campaigns and also opportunity to get tips by individual is also available.
Despite these opportunities, many initiatives rely on speculative tokenomics. As market enthusiasm wanes, token values can drop sharply, leaving creators with devalued assets. The industry is therefore gravitating toward models that prioritize stable, merit‑based compensation and community validation.
Social Mining: A Sustainable Alternative
DAO Labs pioneered #SocialMining in 2021 and refined it through the #DAOVERSE hub in 2022. The framework transforms content creation into a meritocratic labor market, rewarding effort rather than hardware.
Key components include:
Task Selection & Execution – Creators access the DAOVERSE dashboard (or dedicated hubs for Avalanche, Polygon, Solidus AI Tech, etc.) and pick bounties aligned with real project needs such as explaining DeFi protocols, amplifying ecosystem grants, or producing visual assets. Submissions are uploaded via links or files.Validation & Scoring – Community validators assess each piece against transparent criteria (creativity, accuracy, impact). Contributors earn Points and REP (reputation). Points are redeemable for stablecoins (e.g., USDT), while REP enhances future earning potential and governance influence.Reward Distribution – Compensation is proportional to verified contribution value, eliminating favoritism. Creators may receive immediate stablecoin payouts or opt for $LABOR tokens that can be staked for additional returns, providing stability amid market fluctuations. The option 2 in not yet operational but this is part of the vision of the project at the beginning.Gamification & Collaboration – Features such as Social APY (yield on contributions), Meet & Match (team formation), and Instant Credit keep the experience engaging. The Initial Labour Offering (ILO) treats collective labor as an asset, analogous to an IPO for community effort.
Since its inception, Social Mining has distributed over 100,000 Points across campaigns like the 2025 Advent Calendar, demonstrating scalability and consistent creator earnings.
Social Mining vs. InfoFi: Quality Over Quantity
The emerging #InfoFi sector (circa 2025) promised “yap‑to‑earn” rewards by tokenizing social attention. Projects like Kaito and Cookies used AI‑driven scoring to pay for sheer volume of posts. This approach encouraged spam, eroded content quality, and ultimately led to declining payouts and platform closures.
By contrast, DAO Labs’ Social Mining rewards validated, high‑impact work. Creators build enduring skills and networks, and earnings remain tied to genuine value creation rather than fleeting hype. Community feedback e.g., a Binance Square user noting “DAO Labs V2 pays for value, not noise” underscores this distinction.
DAO Labs Ecosystem Partners
DAO Labs collaborates with leading blockchains and platforms to expand creator opportunities:
Avalanche (AVAX) – Amplification of ecosystem grants.Polygon – DeFi‑focused tasks and scaling solutions.Kava Chain – Community consultations and promotional campaigns.WAX.io – NFT and gaming bounties.Solidus AI Tech (AITECHio) – AI‑driven content assignments.XPoll Platform – Polling and governance engagements.
Typical payouts start at 1,000 Points (approximately $10‑$20 USD) per high‑quality submission, with additional REP accrual for sustained participation. These incentives attract crypto‑savvy creators across X, CoinMarketCap, LinkedIn, and Binance Square.
Latest Developments: Mobile App & Community‑First Ethos
DAO Labs is currently beta‑testing a mobile application that brings the DAOVERSE experience to smartphones. Merit selected testers receive pre‑rewards in stablecoins before the testing start, and this enabling on‑the‑go task completion, points tracking, and seamless wallet integration.
I got a DM inviting me to test the App with a stablecoin reward already sent to my App connected wallet, unfortunately, the reward was sent to a compromised wallet, however, it was promptly resolved by the team after signaling to them, this act highlight the platform’s commitment to trust and rapid support.EngrSamest Experience

Over the past few days, X announced the removal of API access for several so-called InfoFi projects.
The decision sparked strong reactions across the Web3 ecosystem, where InfoFi had been positioned as the future of information monetization.

This raises a fundamental question:
Is InfoFi actually good or bad?
My view is clear: InfoFi is not bad by nature, but its current implementation has exposed serious structural flaws.
What Is InfoFi Really About?
InfoFi (Information Finance) is built on a powerful idea:
Information and attention have value, so the people who create them should be rewarded.
In practice, many InfoFi projects introduced systems where:
• posting content
• replying to others
• generating engagement
• earned users points, tokens, or rewards.
On paper, this makes sense.
From a Web3 perspective, it even feels logical: redistributing value back to creators instead of keeping it within platforms.

Why InfoFi Attracted So Much Attention
To be fair, InfoFi came with real strengths.
✅ A Vision Aligned With Web3
Monetization of information
Fair value redistribution
Incentivized participation

✅ A New Opportunity for Creators
For many users, InfoFi represented:
an alternative income stream
a break from traditional ad-driven models
recognition for their social contribution

✅ A Bold Social Experiment
Blinding finance, content, and attention was ambitious, and innovative.
But this is where the problems began.

What X’s Decision Really Exposed
The API shutdown didn’t kill InfoFi randomly.
It exposed weaknesses that were already there.

❌ Total Dependence on a Centralized Platform
Most InfoFi projects:
relied entirely on X’s API
had no fallback strategy
confused Web3 with tokenized Web2

When X changed the rules, everything stopped overnight.
👉 This is not X’s fault.
👉 It’s a design flaw.

❌ A Massive Decline in Content Quality
Let’s be honest.
Incentives often led to:
spam
artificial replies
content created solely to “farm rewards”

The result:
• less real value
• more noise
• a degraded user experience
• InfoFi frequently rewarded activity, not insight.

❌ A Fragile Economic Model
If a project collapses the moment an API is cut, then:
it isn’t sovereign
it isn’t resilient
and it isn’t truly Web3

X’s decision didn’t destroy InfoFi.
It simply revealed how immature the model still is.

So, Is InfoFi Bad?
👉 No. The idea itself is strong.
👉 But the execution has been weak.

InfoFi’s main mistakes were:
1. Over-reliance on a single platform
2. Poor incentive alignment
3. Lack of independent infrastructure

What a Viable InfoFi 2.0 Could Look Like
For InfoFi to survive, it must evolve.
• Less Platform Dependency
• Multi-platform design
• Hybrid on-chain / off-chain data
• Verifiable signals beyond a single API
• Reward Value, Not Volume
• Quality over quantity
• Genuine engagement over spam
• Smarter weighting of social signals
• Put Users Back at the Center
• Data sovereignty
• Portable reputation
• Long-term contribution tracking
• InfoFi should stop being a farming game. It should become an economy of credibility and knowledge.

Conclusion
X’s decision may feel harsh, but it’s revealing.
👉 InfoFi isn’t dead.
👉 It’s being forced to grow up.

Like many Web3 experiments, it moved too fast, leaned too heavily on Web2 platforms, and forgot true decentralization.
The projects that survive will understand one simple truth:
> You can’t build a decentralized future on centralized foundations.

And you, what do you think 👇
Can InfoFi realistically be reborn in a healthier, more sustainable form, or was it a flawed vision from the start?
