6 major updates to the X platform in 10 days that will have a profound impact on the crypto community
According to Twitter, the X platform recently released a series of updates that have had a significant impact on the crypto community under the leadership of Nikita Bier, the new product leader. The summary is as follows:
· Nikita Bier posted an article on the 11th claiming that encrypted tweets died by suicide, and that crypto-themed tweets had been demoted from the platform, causing strong dissatisfaction in the crypto community. Musk then announced an open source platform algorithm (officially announced on the 20th).
· The X platform announced that it is developing an intelligent asset tag, and users can directly trade financial assets on this platform in the future. The V1 version of the smart asset tag is expected to be launched within the next month. Furthermore, Nikita Bier revealed that the API used by X's smart asset tag will be able to process almost any content minted on the chain in real time, and some small-market capitalization crypto assets that have not yet been listed on mainstream trading platforms can also be queried without switching to DEX.
· On January 15, Nikita Bier stated that X is revising the developer API policy: apps that reward users for posting on X (also known as InfoFi) will no longer be allowed. Such mechanisms are already creating a large amount of low-quality AI content and reply-like spam on the platform. Affected by this, the prices of the related projects Kaito and Cookie have plummeted for a short period of time, and major changes will also be made in the development direction of the project.
·On the 19th, in response to the revenue controversy caused by X user DAN KOE's long-post traffic exceeding 100 million, Nikita Bier clarified that X creators' revenue is only based on the number of page timeline views, and replies are not included in the revenue calculation.
· On the 21st, X launched a new tool called the Starter Pack, designed to help new users find the accounts that best match their interests. The tool summarizes leading accounts in various industries and regions based on past traffic performance. Crypto industry CZ, Vitalik, and Justin Sun are on the list.
· A new meme section category has been added to the X platform's global trends page. Global netizens can post all kinds of interesting internet infographics, funny videos, etc. in this section. Users can also use this page to learn about current mainstream meme trends on the internet. Some analysts point out that some meme coins may rely on this feature for distribution and dissemination in the future.
