SFScoop

Spotify put the final nail in the coffin for our two-year vision.

Yesterday, Spotify published changes regarding Developer Access and extended quotas for their API.

These changes completely shut down operations based on the Spotify API if you have more than five users, literally.

So they've left only a small space for experimentation, while giving full-fledged access to big businesses with "commercial liability" and >> 250k MAU.

We've been using the Spotify API for different parts of #SFScoop , and honestly, it was held together with duct tape due to previous restrictions and complications with dev mode and extended quotas.

We started thinking about getting rid of Spotify a while ago, and it seems Spotify was thinking the same way.

Well, it's about time.

In February, we will deploy planned major changes aimed at making SFScoop self-sustaining.

February will be another major milestone on the SFScoop roadmap.

Do your stats show you the middle finger?🖕
Ours do. Daily.

Sigmund closing the vault like it's leg day and the market at the same time🐙💪

We've closed SFS -> SOL swaps within the #SFScoop App and moved all app SOL reserves to the market liquidity pool.

We're going to simplify the SFS wallet and keep only the essential options.

#SFS tokens should be more liquid between SFScoop wallets and the Solana blockchain, so we decided to close internal swaps to incentivize SFS withdrawals from the platform.

Withdraw your tokens to your #PhantomWallet to hold, swap, or add liquidity to the market pool.

We'll also be refining the app wallet UX soon.

We are finalizing notifications on #SFScoop - deployment scheduled for next week

Curator request pricing on #SFScoop has been updated.🐙

Over the past few weeks, we collected feedback on the curator request module and decided to introduce a breaking change.

What's new:

- 1 curator request submission now costs 0.2 SFS
- Up to 300 requests per month
- No refunds for idle or paid curators
- Paid curators will still not be visible to artists

All pending requests submitted under the old price (4 SFS per request) have been fully refunded.

We crossed 5 million streams on #SFScoop since the launch of On-Air playlists.

While we were building the platform, our community of artists, fans, and tech guys was listening, supporting, and keeping On-Air running.

This is a major milestone on SFScoop’s roadmap. It means real exposure for our artists and real engagement rewards for listeners, earned in SFS tokens.

We have a lot in progress, and this year will bring even bigger steps forward.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to On-Air ❤️

We’re building SFScoop for you.

Did we cook on #SFScoop 🤔🤌?

We redesigned #SFScoop app distribution. Now it should load quickly, even from the middle of nowhere.

We’ll be working on notifications now.

Happy New Year from the entire #SFScoop team.

Thank you to everyone in our community for sticking with us, supporting us, and helping shape what SFScoop is becoming.

We even wrapped up the final update of the year on the very last day - consider it our gift under your Christmas tree. And we're not slowing down: next year is going to be even bigger for SFScoop.

We appreciate every one of you.
Cheers to 2026.

Crabs + duct-tape = progress. Allegedly.
