Meta's yapping feature is essentially dead now. The major shift happened when X pulled their API integration from InfoFi platforms—meaning on-chain activity tracking just lost a critical data stream. Suddenly, the visibility that these platforms relied on disappeared.
But here's where it gets interesting. While everyone's calling this the death of InfoFi, maybe it's actually something else entirely. The Web3 space has always reinvented itself when faced with obstacles like this. Restrictions on data flows and API access aren't necessarily endpoints; they're friction points that force the industry to adapt, build differently, and find alternative solutions.
The real question isn't whether InfoFi is finished—it's what comes next when these platforms can't depend on traditional data sources anymore.

API being cut off is a routine operation; Infifi should have been shut down long ago.

Nah, this is the norm in Web3. If one API goes down, the entire ecosystem has to be reshuffled... I really can't take it anymore.

Damn, X's move this time directly cut off InfoFi's livelihood, but they deserve it... This circle should have been reshuffled long ago.
Web3 people will always find new tricks, it all depends on who finds the next gold mine first.
If the API is gone, it's gone. Anyway, most platforms are just air; only the truly valuable ones will survive.

NGL, the move with the X La API is indeed fierce, but Web3 won't die... It'll always find a way.
