Cookie DAO announces the shutdown of Snaps and related creator activities

BlockBeats News, January 16 — The AI Agent Index Platform Project Cookie DAO issued a statement saying, "InfoFi is undergoing changes, and it is time to gradually phase out Snaps: closing the Snaps platform and all ongoing creator activities to maintain the integrity of the Cookie data layer and its product ecosystem. After discussions with the X team regarding its API and X’s usage policies, we have decided to immediately shut down Snaps and all ongoing activities. Currently, we are actively engaging with X to evaluate whether Snaps can continue operating in a new form.

We have always believed that we comply with X’s relevant rules and policies. However, given the current situation, InfoFi is likely to undergo a significant transformation. We will wait for further confirmation and guidance from X to determine whether creator activities like Snaps can still exist in some form in the future.

The data used in the Snaps leaderboard comes from official sources, and we are still a client of the Twitter Enterprise API. Therefore, maintaining compliance with X’s policies remains our top priority. The other products under Cookie are not affected by this adjustment, and we remain a data-centric project. Over the past six months, we have been building Cookie Pro — a real-time market intelligence product for the crypto industry, which is planned to be officially launched in the first quarter."

Previously, reports indicated that X revoked the API access for the “InfoFi” app to reduce platform spam.
