I wouldn't be surprised if we've reached the end of the InfoFi era, or are approaching it.

Since the rise of InfoFi, many people have made considerable profits from it, some have accumulated 5 figures, and some have even made 6 figures. But now, there are some signals that deserve our high attention.

Threshold rule changes

Strictly speaking, I don’t think this upgrade of Kaito is a completely bad thing. It may effectively prevent a large number of accounts from using AI to generate low-quality content to “brush up” the volume, while improving the quality of the content.

However, after the upgrade, not only small accounts were affected, but many large accounts were also not spared. This led to a large number of users who relied on Kaito to choose to leave, because after the upgrade, they had almost no chance of making money through the platform.

In response to this, some project owners have chosen to remove the threshold to attract small trumpeters to join. This just shows that in most cases, the small trumpet group is crucial.

My opinion is that Kaito seems confused about the direction of this upgrade, and many project parties clearly don’t like this “threshold restriction.” However, it is undeniable that Kaito has performed quite well in the past few months.

The token distribution plan is poor

For content creators (yappers), today’s typical 0.5%-1% token distribution ratio is far from enough, as these tokens are often valued very low when they are launched.

In the early days, some accounts could earn 4-5 figures through 1-2 months of promotional activities; but now, even if they participate in 3-6 months of activities, they can only earn 3-4 figures, which makes many people feel discouraged.

Even top accounts, even if they produce high-quality content, find it difficult to earn substantial four-digit income.

Why is this bad news for creators who rely on InfoFi? Before InfoFi's rise, many creators earned a healthy income by promoting their content as brand ambassadors or influencers. However, the compensation offered by projects on Kaito now simply cannot compare to external partnerships. Given this fact, it's no surprise that more and more creators are choosing to leave the InfoFi platform.

Capital Launchpad’s dominance is evident

On July 22, Kaito's "Capital Launchpad" was officially launched. The first project to be launched was Espresso, and more projects subsequently joined.

This is undoubtedly a great product for Kaito, but I do have a few concerns:

  • None of the projects that went through Kaito’s initial coin offering have yet been listed on the public market;
  • None of these projects have announced a launch date;
  • Most projects have overvalued valuations and token unlocking plans that are not investor-friendly.

My additional perspective: Kaito was originally built as a platform specifically for InfoFi, and later decided to add additional platform features (such as Launchpad), which is a great initiative in itself. However, recently, more and more projects have chosen to join the "Capital Launchpad" rather than participate in the "Creator Leaderboard."

Taiko Makes Chainlink Data Streams Its Official Oracle

Taiko Makes Chainlink Data Streams Its Official Oracle

The post Taiko Makes Chainlink Data Streams Its Official Oracle appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes Taiko has officially integrated Chainlink Data Streams for its Layer 2 network. The integration provides developers with high-speed market data to build advanced DeFi applications. The move aims to improve security and attract institutional adoption by using Chainlink’s established infrastructure. Taiko, an Ethereum-based ETH $4 514 24h volatility: 0.4% Market cap: $545.57 B Vol. 24h: $28.23 B Layer 2 rollup, has announced the integration of Chainlink LINK $23.26 24h volatility: 1.7% Market cap: $15.75 B Vol. 24h: $787.15 M Data Streams. The development comes as the underlying Ethereum network continues to see significant on-chain activity, including large sales from ETH whales. The partnership establishes Chainlink as the official oracle infrastructure for the network. It is designed to provide developers on the Taiko platform with reliable and high-speed market data, essential for building a wide range of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, from complex derivatives platforms to more niche projects involving unique token governance models. According to the project’s official announcement on Sept. 17, the integration enables the creation of more advanced on-chain products that require high-quality, tamper-proof data to function securely. Taiko operates as a “based rollup,” which means it leverages Ethereum validators for transaction sequencing for strong decentralization. Boosting DeFi and Institutional Interest Oracles are fundamental services in the blockchain industry. They act as secure bridges that feed external, off-chain information to on-chain smart contracts. DeFi protocols, in particular, rely on oracles for accurate, real-time price feeds. Taiko leadership stated that using Chainlink’s infrastructure aligns with its goals. The team hopes the partnership will help attract institutional crypto investment and support the development of real-world applications, a goal that aligns with Chainlink’s broader mission to bring global data on-chain. Integrating real-world economic information is part of a broader industry trend. Just last week, Chainlink partnered with the Sei…
