LimeWire Completes Handoff of Cookie3 and Cookie Pro

By Nathan Brooks

Cookie DAO said on Tuesday, Nov. 10 that LimeWire had completed the handoff of Cookie3 and Cookie Pro, with work set to begin on InfoFi 2.0 while Cookie Pro continues operating.

Cookie DAO’s announcement made the status explicit: “the handoff complete and work beginning on InfoFi 2.0.” The statement identifies the DAO as the source but provides no court filing, on-chain transaction, purchase price, ownership schedule or financial terms.

It also sets no launch date for InfoFi 2.0. The completion claim therefore rests on Cookie DAO’s announcement, while the implementation timetable remains unspecified.

What does this change for Cookie Pro users?

Cookie Pro will continue operating during development, and four named tool categories are set to remain available:

• Cookie AI
• KOL analytics
• dashboards
• signals

For users, the commitment means the listed tools remain part of the near-term operating plan. The announcement does not describe a shutdown, forced migration or immediate change in access. It also does not guarantee that every feature or rule in the current product will survive the rebuild unchanged.

The handoff covers two names, Cookie3 and Cookie Pro, but the continuity commitment applies specifically to Cookie Pro. Cookie DAO did not separately describe Cookie3’s post-handoff operating status or user-facing functions. That distinction matters for anyone assessing which part of the portfolio receives a documented service runway.

LimeWire will contribute engineering support, blockchain infrastructure and other resources. Its team will conduct a rebuild from the ground up. The stated mandate covers both engineering and infrastructure support, with LimeWire positioned as the operator of the next development cycle.

InfoFi 2.0 has three defined workstreams

Cookie DAO described the rebuild as work with LimeWire’s team. Its disclosed scope comprises three elements:

• An upgrade to the AI engine behind Cookie Pro.
• A redesigned SmartKOL allocation mechanism, with the stated aim of reducing farming activity.
• Changes to the reward model.

The announcement treats allocation design and rewards as separate workstreams. It contains no allocation formula, reward rate, eligibility rule, detection method or threshold for farming activity. The announcement identifies the intended direction of the allocation change, but not the mechanics required to test whether the redesign succeeds.

Cookie AI stays on the list of tools set to remain available, while the AI-engine upgrade forms part of the future build. The source does not say whether that upgrade will replace the current Cookie AI interface, operate alongside it or alter its outputs.

The same restraint applies to SmartKOL. The announcement names the allocation mechanism and its objective without publishing a revised configuration.

No chain, contract address or token standard appears in the announcement, and Cookie DAO disclosed no quantified cost, staffing level or timetable for LimeWire’s contribution. Those omissions limit any assessment of implementation scale. They do not alter the operating commitments stated for the current product or the three-part design mandate for InfoFi 2.0.

Disclosure milestones and deadlines

Cookie DAO said: “further details will be shared as development progresses.” The announcement names no calendar milestone, release candidate, deployment stage or migration window. The next material disclosure is therefore a specification for InfoFi 2.0, accompanied by a dated schedule if the project is to move beyond continuity of the current tools.

For practitioners, the immediate focus is behavioral continuity for the four listed tools, the proposed anti-farming design and the effective date for revised rewards. The announcement addresses only the first in general terms, and only for the development period.

Until the parties publish a dated release and migration schedule, Cookie Pro’s current tools remain the stated operating baseline, while changes to SmartKOL allocations and rewards remain prospective.
