The infoFi narrative seems to have reached its breaking point. Projects like Kaito and Wallchain, once riding the wave of hype around AI-powered on-chain insights, are struggling to maintain momentum. The initial promise of democratizing financial intelligence through decentralized protocols hasn't translated into sustainable adoption or genuine utility.
What looked promising on paper—combining AI agents with blockchain transparency—has hit the reality check. Token velocity isn't there, user engagement is cooling off, and the competitive pressure from established centralized solutions keeps intensifying. The market's moving on to the next narrative while these projects are left scrambling to prove long-term viability.

According to on-chain data, the TVL growth rate of Kaito and Wallchain has dropped from over 300% at its peak to single digits. What does this indicate? It shows that investors are voting with their feet. It is worth noting that the token velocity of such infoFi projects has been consistently below 0.5, far below the average level of DeFi protocols during the same period. A risk warning — the real test comes when liquidity dries up.

ngl infoFi is just another hyped-up narrative; on paper, it sounds really appealing, but once it’s implemented in reality, it quickly reveals its true nature... Let's leave it at that.

Another concept has died, and the next one is still in incubation.
