One project just raised $7M in funding. Sounds promising until you dig deeper. Turns out a core part of their product architecture depends on the K4ito API. Yesterday's X platform update? It killed that API entirely. Now the real question surfaces: what's the actual risk exposure for investors and the team with $7M already deployed? This situation highlights a critical lesson—when building in Web3, over-reliance on single external dependencies can turn a funding milestone into a potential crisis. It's a sobering reminder that technical due diligence matters just as much as business models.
