For a while, InfoFi felt inevitable.
Post. Engage. Get rewarded. Attention became liquid, tweets became assets, and creators finally had a way to monetize their voice without begging brands or algorithms.
Then Nikita pulled the plug.
When X cut off API access for incentive-driven posting, it didn’t just break a few apps, it detonated the entire InfoFi stack overnight. What followed wasn’t a slow decline. It was a hard stop. Platforms scrambled. Tokens bled. Dashboards froze. And suddenly, the same systems that promised 'creator empowerment' couldn’t even function.
InfoFi didn’t fade out. It collapsed.
Most of the big InfoFi names couldn’t survive without X’s pipes.
KaitoAI shut down its Yaps system and pivoted away from creator rewards.
Cookiedotfun closed Snaps and moved on
Xeetdotai paused, restructured, and effectively exited the original model.
Crypto markets reacted sharply: InfoFi-linked tokens like KAITO dropped roughly 20%, COOKIE also fell significantly, and the entire sub-sector suffered a notable market contraction. And to be fair, the spam problem was real. Low-effort replies, AI sludge, engagement farming at scale. The model rewarded volume far more than value.
But killing InfoFi didn’t kill creators. It forced a reset.
Surprisingly, a few platforms survived, Below are key platforms that still work today and continue providing opportunities.
Wallchain
Wallchain took a different route: gamification without pretending it’s serious finance. Quacks rewards participation, creativity, and presence, without pushing creators into spammy behavior loops. It’s lighter, more playful, and still alive because it never promised infinite upside for infinite posting.

ArbusChirps
Arbus didn’t position itself as “post and farm.” Instead, it leaned into signal, discovery, and reputation. Creators who share insights, not noise still find upside here. If you’re building consistency instead of chasing virality, Arbus remains one of the few places where effort still compounds.

New Opportunities After the InfoFi Collapse:
The end of InfoFi has actually accelerated innovation in creator monetization. Below are some emerging options that reward creativity, community, and contribution.
RallyOnChain
Rally is not old InfoFi with a new coat of paint. It’s a permissionless marketing protocol where anyone can participate in campaigns launched by Web3 projects. Powered by @zkSync ,@Base, and @LayerZero Rally breaks campaigns into structured missions. Creators write tweets, follow clear guidelines, submit their work, and let AI evaluate novelty, quality, and reach. Higher scores earn higher rewards.

MyFanForce
Myfanforce flips the model entirely. Here, creators and fans earn together. Fans aren’t passive consumers, they’re participants. Engagement, loyalty, and contribution all matter. It’s one of the few platforms that actually understands something InfoFi missed: creators don’t grow alone.

AiraaAgent
AiraaAgent represents a different evolution: creators augmented by AI, not replaced by it. Instead of rewarding noise, it focuses on tools, intelligence, and context, helping creators do better work, not more work.

Conclusion:
InfoFi didn’t fail because creators abused it. It failed because the incentives were shallow. It assumed attention alone was value. It ignored sustainability and it depended on infrastructure it didn’t control. What’s emerging now is quieter, and stronger where Creators are being rewarded for: Quality instead of volume Community instead of clicks Alignment instead of extraction.
The era of “post anything, get paid” is over. The era of creator infrastructure has begun.
