One project just raised $7M in funding. Sounds promising until you dig deeper. Turns out a core part of their product architecture depends on the K4ito API. Yesterday's X platform update? It killed that API entirely. Now the real question surfaces: what's the actual risk exposure for investors and the team with $7M already deployed? This situation highlights a critical lesson—when building in Web3, over-reliance on single external dependencies can turn a funding milestone into a potential crisis. It's a sobering reminder that technical due diligence matters just as much as business models.

That's why I say not to rely on a single project... 7M wasted in a flash.

ngl this is like watching someone build a house on someone else's foundation then act shocked when the landlord changes the locks. K4ito dependency? that's not architecture, that's a time bomb with a funding round attached to it lol

Ha, another classic "technical debt explosion" scene... K4ito API gone overnight, 7M wasted?

7 million USD evaporated overnight, this is the reality of Web3. Single-point dependency is really a ticking time bomb.
