The Infofi project declared failure, sparking heated discussions in the community.

Seemingly glamorous promises ultimately chose to escape—the official abandoned maintaining the API infrastructure and moved elsewhere, leaving many developers and users at a loss. This is not only the cost of a technical misjudgment but also a betrayal of the ecosystem commitment.

From grand vision to hasty retreat, the fall of Infofi serves as a wake-up call for Web3 projects: the stability of infrastructure and developer commitments often determine the project's survival more than marketing hype. This scene has been repeated multiple times in the crypto space, each time reminding us of the importance of choosing reliable partners.

Another API infrastructure project has failed to deliver. These projects really can't learn their lessons. It's one thing if Infofi runs away, but the key issue is that few have learned from the experience. No matter how good the promises sound, it all depends on how long they can stick to them. The developers who suffered heavy losses this time must feel so heartbroken... Infrastructure is truly a pitfall; whoever takes it on will regret it. They keep telling stories about fundraising every day, but when it comes to actual use, it's all just bubbles. Choosing the wrong partner is a step wrong, and then everything goes wrong—it's too difficult. Another project tricked by marketing... really need to be cautious.

Another one? If only I hadn't been so close to Infini back then... --- Once this API is shut down, everything on my side will completely crash. --- Ah, where is the so-called "ecosystem commitment"? They said the same thing before running away. --- In my opinion, it's always the same routine. Would it be like this if there was some longevity? --- I just want to know what those KOLs who hype Infofi every day have to say. --- Uh... is this what you call Web3 infrastructure? Really interesting. --- It would be great if we could see through these projects. Now I regret it to death. --- Infrastructure stability? People don't even want stability; they just want to make a quick profit and run. --- Another promise bigger than the actual results, talking as if it's real. --- I bet the next one will also be a trap. No one has ever learned from the lessons on this chain.

Another infrastructure project has run away, truly incredible. The API is down, developers are crying their eyes out. --- That's why I never believe those pancake promises; I only check if the maintainer is actually committing code. --- Infofi? Never heard of it, but I can guess the ending—Web3 infrastructure is just like that. --- Damn, I have to find an alternative again... So annoying, these PPT founders. --- The problem is either poor technology stack choices or unreliable teams; these two together are doomed. --- So, don't be brainwashed by whitepapers; you should look at the repo activity instead. --- From promising to fleeing so quickly? Laughable, this is the real Web3 speed.

Another infrastructure project has run away... This time they don't even bother with the API, truly unbelievable. Where is the promised ecological commitment? All just empty talk. It's always like this, marketing hype everywhere, users get cut like chives. That's why my first reaction when I look at a project now is to check the developer's history. This fall of Infofi, how many projects will it take to learn a lesson?
