A major shift in developer policies has been announced regarding applications that incentivize user engagement through token rewards. Applications designed to compensate users for posting activity—commonly referred to as "Infofi" crypto projects—will face stricter restrictions going forward.

According to the policy revision, such reward-based posting applications have generated unintended consequences for platform health. The change signals a tightening of rules around how Web3 projects can leverage social engagement mechanics.

This development carries significant implications for the Solana ecosystem and other blockchain projects that have relied on these engagement models. Developers building on Solana and other chains will need to reassess their reward distribution strategies and user incentive mechanisms to remain compliant with the evolving regulatory landscape.

The move reflects broader industry pressure to balance innovation with platform sustainability and user experience quality.
