From Fragmented Components to the Super Layer

In recent developments within the decentralized social space, Farcaster and Lens have both undergone significant strategic transitions, highlighting a broader shift toward platformization and operational specialization. Farcaster’s co-founder announced that Neynar, a major infrastructure provider and client, will acquire the protocol. This move reflects a growing consensus that long-term sustainability depends less on protocol-level iteration and more on professionalized infrastructure and execution. Neynar has abstracted away the complexity of running hubs and provides APIs that allow developers to focus on product development rather than protocol mechanics. Similarly, Lens announced that Mask Network will take over as the protocol’s next “steward,” shifting focus from infrastructure to consumer-facing products. Both Lens and Aave emphasized that the transition involves no change in ownership or governance—only a reallocation of responsibility toward productization and user experience. These cases illustrate that as protocols mature into platforms, the key challenge is no longer adding features, but clearly defining roles and optimizing the full operational stack—infrastructure, tooling, and distribution. The trend points toward the emergence of “super layers,” where tightly integrated technical and operational capabilities become essential to compete at scale. The movement signals that Web3 is entering an era of mature ecosystem competition, where independent teams and clear operational division are critical.

X Personally Terminates InfoFi Incentive Model, The Era of 'Mouth Farming' Comes to an End

X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, has officially terminated the API access for InfoFi applications that reward users for posting, effectively ending the "post-to-earn" model. This decisive move, announced by X product lead Nikita Bier, targets what the company identifies as a primary source of AI-generated spam and low-quality replies flooding the platform. The policy shift immediately impacted several prominent InfoFi projects. Tokens like KAITO and COOKIE experienced significant double-digit price drops. Projects such as Cookie DAO's Snaps platform have ceased operations, while Kaito has shut down its Yaps incentive program and is pivoting to a new, more traditional creator marketing model called Kaito Studio. X's core objection was not to the content itself, but to the fundamental structure of external, unpermissioned incentives directly driving platform engagement. This model was seen as compromising content quality and, crucially, undermining X's sovereignty over its own content ecosystem and user experience. The platform emphasized that it does not need the revenue generated from these API fees. The event signals a major recalibration, forcing InfoFi projects to either retreat to a pure data/tooling role or completely reinvent their business models to align with platform policies. The era of easily farming rewards for social media posts ("嘴撸时代") is over, as content control is firmly reclaimed by the platform itself.

InfoFi Narrative Collapses, Kaito, Cookie, and Others Shut Down Related Products

The InfoFi narrative, which gained significant traction in the crypto industry, experienced a sudden collapse following an announcement by X's product lead, Nikita Bier, regarding changes to the platform’s API policy. The new policy prohibits applications that reward users for posting on X, citing concerns over AI-generated spam and low-quality replies. This decision effectively undermines the core functionality of many InfoFi projects that rely on X’s API to access user data and distribute tokenized rewards. Key projects, Kaito and Cookie, quickly responded to the policy shift. Kaito announced it would pivot toward Kaito Studio, a more selective, brand-driven platform that moves beyond the crypto space. Its founder, Yu Hu, emphasized a broader focus beyond cryptocurrency. Similarly, Cookie decided to shut down its Snaps platform but is developing Cookie Pro, a real-time crypto market intelligence tool, while exploring potential future adaptations in line with X’s guidelines. The abrupt policy change highlights the vulnerability of InfoFi models that depend heavily on-platform engagement metrics. While some projects, such as those focused on monetizing narratives rather than direct posting rewards, may remain unaffected, the incident marks a significant shift for the attention economy within crypto. The evolution of InfoFi may continue in new forms, but its current iteration has been severely disrupted.
