We are revising our developer API policies: We will no longer allow apps that reward users for posting on X (aka “infofi”). This has led to a tremendous amount of AI slop & reply spam on the platform. We have revoked API access from these apps, so your X experience should start improving soon (once the bots realize they’re not getting paid anymore). If your developer account was terminated, please reach out and we will assist in transitioning your business to Threads and Bluesky.

Some more photos from @yzilabs dinner yesterday. I was not there. But friends sent me lots of photos.

Let me explain what happened here like you're 5 years old, because a lot of people still don't get how this space works. It's super simple. Aster dropped a coin, and it surged because CZ was aggressively shilling it. Then it retraced, and they had a hard time pushing it back up. What's the best way to fix this? Drop a big meme, inject a hell of a lot of liquidity, and boom - you've got the trenches' attention now. They literally used the same FUCKING playbook. I don't want to say it's genius, because this is the most common strategy, and it works EVERY SINGLE TIME. For example, one day Elon posted a Troll gif, and the coin's MC went from 10M to 14M. You'd think the top KOL in crypto would push one of the oldest memes harder, right? But it didn’t fully go parabolic until pump fun injected a ton of liquidity into Troll. You have to be new or stubborn not to understand how this space operates. This is exactly why we have so many failed launchpads and memes with good narratives sitting low - because the people behind them are absolutely clueless. Pure arrogance. They don't like being told what to do, meaning they don't value their community's opinions, but they sure want people to stick around lol. It doesn't work that way. High volume is a safe haven for new investors.
