In response to earlier platform limitations, some communities moved their streaming activities to Discord, with one instance attracting over 80 participants to a casual stream session.

**The InfoFi era has officially ended** - and industry experts say that's a positive development for crypto. James Richard Fry (Head of Marketing) and Kanishk Khurana (DevRel Engineer) analyzed the collapse and its implications: - **Why the collapse matters**: InfoFi's demise removes artificial incentive structures that distorted community building - **Pre-airdrop era lessons**: Early crypto communities formed around genuine interest and shared values, not token rewards - **NFT community dynamics**: The NFT era demonstrated how authentic engagement creates lasting value - **Identifying real projects**: Focus on teams solving actual problems rather than chasing narrative-driven hype The shift away from airdrop farming represents a return to fundamentals - supporting projects with genuine utility and organic community growth rather than extractive reward mechanisms.
