A major shift in developer policies has been announced regarding applications that incentivize user engagement through token rewards. Applications designed to compensate users for posting activity—commonly referred to as "Infofi" crypto projects—will face stricter restrictions going forward.

According to the policy revision, such reward-based posting applications have generated unintended consequences for platform health. The change signals a tightening of rules around how Web3 projects can leverage social engagement mechanics.

This development carries significant implications for the Solana ecosystem and other blockchain projects that have relied on these engagement models. Developers building on Solana and other chains will need to reassess their reward distribution strategies and user incentive mechanisms to remain compliant with the evolving regulatory landscape.

The move reflects broader industry pressure to balance innovation with platform sustainability and user experience quality.

Honestly, infifi is completely finished now. I knew it would turn out like this... The Solana ecosystem is about to undergo another reshuffle.

It's starting to get stuck again. The infofi part definitely needs adjustment. The Solana ecosystem has taken a hit.

ngl, this wave of bans came sooner than expected. Projects that earn tokens by posting have indeed caused chaos in the community.

Oh no, infofi is going to fail this time. I saw the problems with this thing a long time ago.

Nah, here comes a new rule to cut the leeks again. The good days of posting to earn coins are over.

Regulation is coming again... The Infofi system should have been shut down long ago. Under the guise of making money, the quality of users attracted is indeed worrying.

If I had known it would turn out this way, the Infofi scheme of harvesting profits would eventually fail.

It's about time to regulate this. These shitcoins keep issuing tokens daily to suck blood, creating a chaotic ecosystem.

Once again, we're being restricted, this time it's infra... The practice of earning coins and posting should have been regulated long ago, otherwise the spam will explode. The SOL ecosystem is trembling again, haha. The phrase about balancing innovation and experience has become cliché; frankly, it's just a dying project that cuts leeks. Wait, does this mean we need to revise compliance strategies again... Developers are having a hard time. Token issuance incentives have messed up user behavior, it's only a matter of time.

NGL, now the sub2earn folks should be panicking; a bunch of projects in the Solana ecosystem are about to fail.
