【Crypto World】The InfoFi track has recently split into two paths. One side features platforms like Galxe, which play the content arbitrage game—higher engagement and more rewards, with short-term token gains being the main attraction. On the other side, platforms like Kaito AI and Cookie DAO are beginning to adjust their strategies, shifting focus toward information quality and continuous contributor incentives, rather than simply competing on output speed.
This divergence is quite interesting. Early InfoFi was filled with a lot of spam and junk information, but now the market is self-correcting. The credibility infrastructure route is more ambitious—integrating reputation systems into prediction markets, risk decision-making, and other scenarios that truly require information quality, building a more sticky and valuable long-term value system.
Which path will ultimately win? It depends on whether users are after quick profits or care about information authenticity.

Honestly, these two paths are worlds apart... Galxe's approach is just a rhythm of harvesting retail investors, and it's gone after short-term satisfaction.
Kaito and Cookie DAO are the real deal, but will users really pay for information quality? I remain skeptical.
Quick money always feels better; ultimately, it depends on whose incentive mechanism is more aggressive.
Wait a minute, isn't this just the old trick of traditional media and self-media? Another cycle of repetition.
That's how the crypto world is—good projects often don't survive a bear market.

To be honest, quick money can never compete with information authenticity. In the long run, players like Kaito are still the winners.

To be honest, the short-term arbitrage approach will eventually fail, and Galxe's recent move shows a bit of a gambler's mentality.
The authenticity of the information is what matters in the long run, but there are probably few people truly willing to pay for it.

To be honest, you can't really have both fast money and authenticity; users will ultimately choose fast money, right?
The crossroads of InfoFi: Content arbitrage or reputation building?
