Infofi creator economics at scale:
T1 influencers pulled $50-100k/month during peak activity. Single-project monthly payout hitting $7k demonstrates viable monetization for content creators in crypto.
Key data point: Platform successfully onboarded new creator cohort through direct cash incentives, not token promises. This is actual USD flowing to top-tier distribution channels.
Implication: Projects with real marketing budgets are bypassing traditional ad spend and paying creators directly. Watch for similar platforms replicating this model - creator acquisition cost vs. user acquisition cost arbitrage is real.
Risk: Sustainability unclear if bear market cuts project marketing budgets. Creator churn likely high if payouts drop below $10k/month threshold.
