Cookie DAO announces the shutdown of the Snaps platform in response to X platform's API policy adjustments to maintain data layer integrity. Currently, discussions are ongoing with X regarding the new operational model for Snaps, while continuing to develop other products and new tools like Cookie Pro, which is scheduled to launch in the first quarter.

【Crypto World】AI Agent Index Platform Cookie DAO recently announced a major adjustment. On January 16, the project issued a statement outlining the latest developments: after in-depth discussions with X platform regarding API usage policies, they decided to immediately shut down the Snaps platform and all related creator activities.

This decision was not sudden. X platform had previously revoked API access to the InfoFi app to reduce spam content on the platform. In response to this policy change, Cookie DAO chose to proactively address the situation—shutting down Snaps to maintain the integrity of the Cookie data layer and its product ecosystem, as well as to show respect for platform policies.

However, the story is not over yet. Cookie DAO stated that they are currently engaged in active discussions with X to evaluate whether Snaps can continue operating in a new form. An interesting detail is that all data used in the Snaps leaderboard comes from official data sources, and Cookie DAO remains a client of the Twitter Enterprise API. This indicates their emphasis on compliant operations.

It is worth noting that this adjustment only affects the Snaps platform; other products under Cookie remain operational. The project has always positioned itself as a data-driven enterprise, and this has not changed. In fact, over the past six months, Cookie DAO has been developing a new product—Cookie Pro, a real-time market intelligence tool for the crypto industry, which is planned to be officially launched in the first quarter of this year. This may be their next key focus.

Alright, if Snaps is shut down, it's shut down. I haven't really used it anyway. Let's see if Cookie Pro can come up with some new tricks.

Once again, it's the rhythm of being choked by big platforms, and Snaps has directly fallen.

Ah, it's being throttled again by X, but luckily Cookie Pro has got my back.

Speaking of which, the shutdown of Snaps was probably forced, given the policy change on X... It seems that Cookie Pro is the real highlight; let's wait and see when it launches in Q1. The key is whether the data layer can be preserved—that's the core issue.
