Social applications claiming to be InfoFi were fundamentally flawed—they never actually delivered what they promised. What looked like innovation just became another round of PostFi and SpamFi with better branding. The real issue is that these platforms prioritized engagement mechanics over genuine value delivery.

The next evolution requires rethinking the entire layer. We need something closer to 'IntelFi'—a system that moves beyond flashy tokenomics and actually surfaces meaningful, actionable information. Not just reshuffled feeds or incentivized posts, but infrastructure designed from the ground up to distinguish signal from noise.

The market is ready for this shift. The question is whether builders will focus on real utility or repeat the same cycle.

Well said, it's just the same trick of changing names to continue scamming new investors. The InfoFi approach has long been seen through; essentially, it's just a new skin for incentive mechanisms + junk information. IntelFi sounds good, but can it really be implemented? I'm a bit skeptical. A bunch of projects all shout the same thing, but what’s the result... it's the same old crap.

IntelFi sounds promising, but I still risk losing five bucks to the next pump-and-dump scheme. --- Another year, another "genuine innovation." By this time next year, they'll probably have to change the name again. --- Basically, there's too much information noise, but I haven't seen a project that truly solves this issue. --- PostFi, SpamFi, IntelFi—names keep upgrading, but essentially they're all the same. --- The real question is whether the builders have the resolve to reject the temptation of quick money—that's the real problem. --- Signal separation sounds appealing, but achieving an optimal signal-to-noise ratio is easier said than done. --- Is packaging it again as tokenomics just called innovation? Wake up, everyone. --- The market is ready, and the builders' wallets are prepared to accept donations. --- From PostFi to InfoFi to IntelFi, this naming pattern is just a case of nested dolls. --- I want to see which project dares to truly implement signal-noise separation instead of continuing to rely on engagement scams.

It's the same old trick from InfoFi, to put it plainly, it's just a different flavor of the same old thing. Pump tokens in, and the garbage content remains garbage. IntelFi sounds good, but I bet five bucks that in three months it will still be an engagement farm. Do the builders really do this? I'm skeptical. This wave is just another bubble, is anyone really using these things? Nice words, but in the end, it's just a bunch of incentive mechanism spam. Let's see who can truly improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Another layer of restructuring? Bro, we've heard that phrase how many times already? I’d give IntelFi a 7 out of 10, but what about execution?
