Cookie DAO Announces Shutdown of Snaps and Related Creator Activities
BlockBeats News, January 16, the AI agent index platform Cookie DAO posted that "InfoFi is changing, and it is time to gradually offline Snaps: close the Snaps platform and all ongoing creator activities, maintain the integrity of the Cookie data layer and its product ecosystem. After communicating with the X team about its API and X's usage policy, we have decided to immediately shut down Snaps and all ongoing activities. Currently, we are actively discussing with X to assess whether Snaps could possibly continue to operate in a new form."
"We have always believed that we are in compliance with X's relevant rules and policies. However, it appears that InfoFi is likely to undergo a major transformation. We will wait for further confirmation and guidance from X to determine if creator activities like Snaps may still be possible in the future in some form."
"The data used in the Snaps leaderboard comes from an official data source, and we are still a customer of the Twitter Enterprise API. Therefore, maintaining compliance with X's policies has always been our top priority. The rest of the products under Cookie are not affected by this adjustment, and we are still a data-centric project. Over the past six months, we have been building Cookie Pro—an real-time market intelligence product for the crypto industry, scheduled to be officially launched in the first quarter."
Earlier report, X revokes API access to "InfoFi" app to reduce platform spam content.
