Recent policy shifts around developer APIs tell you something important—it's not just about cracking down on apps. What's really happening is a reckoning with broken incentive structures. When platforms shut down applications that gamify user engagement through rewards (the kind that pays people just for posting), they're essentially admitting the model doesn't work. These tools, sometimes called infofi apps, expose a fundamental problem: misaligned incentives collapse quickly. The takeaway? In Web3 and crypto, reward design isn't an afterthought. Get it wrong and the whole thing unravels. Get it right and you build something sustainable.
