X Platform's 6 Major Updates in 10 Days Set to Have a Far-reaching Impact on the Crypto Community
BlockBeats News, January 22nd, Recently, X Platform released a series of updates under the leadership of the new Product Manager Nikita Bier, which had a significant impact on the crypto community. BlockBeats summarizes as follows:
· On the 11th, Nikita Bier stated, "Crypto tweet suicide is dying out, and crypto-themed tweets have been de-platformed," triggering strong dissatisfaction in the crypto community. Subsequently, Musk announced the open-sourcing of the platform algorithm (officially announced on the 20th).
· X Platform announced the development of Smart Asset Tags, allowing users to directly trade financial assets on the platform in the future. The launch of the V1 version of Smart Asset Tags is expected within the next month. In addition, Nikita Bier revealed that the API used by X's Smart Asset Tags can almost instantly process any on-chain minted content, and some low-cap crypto assets not yet listed on mainstream trading platforms will also be queryable without switching to a DEX.
· On January 15th, Nikita Bier stated, "X is revising its developer API policy: no longer allowing apps that reward users for posting on X (known as 'InfoFi'). Such mechanisms have already caused a significant amount of low-quality AI content and reply-based spam on the platform. As a result, the related projects Kaito and Cookie experienced a short-term price plunge, and their development direction will undergo significant changes.
· On the 19th, in response to the income dispute sparked by X user DAN KOE's lengthy post exceeding 100 million views, Nikita Bier clarified that X creator income is now based solely on homepage timeline views, with replies no longer included in income calculations.
· On the 21st, X introduced a new tool called the "Onboarding Package," designed to help new users find accounts that best match their interests. Based on past traffic performance, this tool summarizes the top accounts in various industries and regions. Crypto industry figures CZ, Vitalik, and Justin Sun made the list.
· X Platform's "Global Trends" page added a meme section category, where global users can post various internet meme images, funny videos, and other content. Users can also use this page to learn about current mainstream internet memes. Some analysis suggests that in the future, some meme coins may rely on this feature for issuance and propagation.
